Mr. Speaker, if the member was sincere in his comments about stronger action, the Conservative Party could stop the filibuster on bail reform legislation.
A commitment was made by the Prime Minister to bring in bail reform legislation. This type of legislation deals with the issue of extortion, yet the leader of the Conservative Party stands up today and says he wants an emergency debate on extortion. Does he really? He has the opportunity to instruct his caucus to pass the legislation to committee; then we could actually see some action on extortion.
Why is the Conservative Party refusing to at least send this important legislation to committee?
