Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her fine speech. It was very powerful.
The hon. member always rises to bring nuance and a fighting spirit for women, for feminist issues. One member spoke of procedure. I share his disappointment, but my disappointment is in the two months that have been lost in the House to procedural shenanigans from the Conservatives, who have shut down really valuable opportunities for us to debate issues such as this. As such, out of procedural fairness, when we had the opportunity to present this, I was surprised that the Bloc voted against it. Had we not been allowed to continue this debate, one of its strongest and most powerful feminist voices would not have had the opportunity to rise and present on this speech.
We are in this debate; while they voted against it, we are still here speaking. What is before us is the threat that we saw down in the States, with project 2025, as well as all this religious fanatic extremism around women's reproductive autonomy. Given that, can the hon. member rise again and just share why this debate is important, even if the Bloc does not necessarily agree that it is important to have right now?
