Mr. Speaker, while colleagues on the opposite side laugh about interfering with police work, I will say that it is actually a very serious matter. There is a very good reason why there is a separation between the legislative branch of government and the judicial branch of government. What the Conservatives are putting forward is absolutely trying to interfere with that separation and that independence. That is extremely concerning to me, and I think all members should be concerned.
I would ask my hon. colleagues, when they go home tonight, to look themselves in the mirror to ask whether they are comfortable with the fact that they are setting a new precedent in which this chamber has decided that it should override the rights of Canadians.
