Mr. Speaker, I was surprised today by the Conservatives' attempt to bring forward an emergency debate when talking about the issue of extortion. Extortion is actually in Bill C-14, so there is time in which we can see tangible actions being taken in order to deal with important issues like extortion. I appreciate the Bloc's position in seeming to support the bill's at least going to committee.
Does the member believe that it is in the best interest of people who are concerned about extortion to see the legislation go to committee at the very least, so we can hear more about these types of important issues?
