Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if my colleague can provide his thoughts in regard to the support for Bill C-14, whether it is from provinces, municipalities, law enforcement agencies or the many first responders. There is a general willingness from Canadians to see bail reform, and an all-inclusive number of people have been advocating for the changes that Bill C-14 would bring forward.
Could he provide his thoughts on how important it is that we respect the many consultations that have taken place? We want to see this legislation pass before the end of the year. Could he provide his thoughts on the importance of getting this legislation through and ultimately passed before the end of the year?
