Madam Speaker, before I address the question directly, I want to thank the hon. member, because I had the opportunity to work with him a number of years ago when he put forward Bill C-211 in our first Parliament, which addressed the need to better support first responders and their mental health in particular. I know he has been a champion for first responders, as I have been, from the day we were first elected.
This is an important component of the bill, but quite frankly, I do not care who gets the credit. I want to see protection afforded to our first responders. We can have a conversation, perhaps after the debate concludes today, on the best way to make that happen the most quickly. To the extent that we can support those working to keep our communities safe, it is an idea, whether Liberal, Conservative or otherwise, that I support not only philosophically but in practice as well.
