Mr. Speaker, I am encouraged, in a sense, that the Conservatives realized they needed to move an amendment at this stage. We can compare that to the budget, where the leader of the official opposition forgot to move an amendment. At least they got their timing right for this particular amendment, but I disagree with the amendment. There is no surprise there.
My friend across the way and I had a wonderful experience at the University of Winnipeg. In fact, I think we agreed that we will have another one of these debates. We are looking at Carleton University, and I am thinking January 12 or 13. That way, the university's classes are back a week later. I am hoping he will follow through on this and the two of us can work together.
My question for the member is specific. Does he not believe, given the vote on the budget, that we should continue to move ahead and see if we can get this bill passed into committee sooner as opposed to later?
