Mr. Speaker, next Monday, December 1, we will have the second hour of debate on my private member's bill, Bill C-225. The bill would address the scourge that is intimate partner violence. Thus far I have been very disappointed with the Liberals' response to such a bill, which is needed right here, right now.
In attendance, I anticipate and hope, will be some of Bailey McCourt's family members, who have asked that the proposed law be called Bailey's law. Debbie Henderson, for instance, Bailey's aunt, has been fighting non-stop to get the justice minister and the government to move on the issue. Not a day has gone by without her advocacy. I would like to thank the McCourt family for the honour of asking for the bill to be named Bailey's bill.
Let us not forget the other victim who was with Bailey, Carrie Wiebe, and Bailey's mother, Karen.
There is not one member of the House who should be voting against the bill. The Liberals need to vote for it on December 3.
