Mr. Speaker, I really and truly appreciate the comments from the parliamentary secretary.
The unfortunate reality is that the Conservative Party of Canada's behaviour around this legislation is affecting two pieces of legislation. One deals with hate crimes, and Canadians are not going to be able to see the hate crime legislation before the end of the year. The other deals with bail reform, which is at the same committee. This is something the Prime Minister made a commitment on as part of our election platform.
Liberals want to see both bills passed before the end of the year. The victims here are Canadians and the safety of our communities. Could the member reflect on how selfish the Conservative Party is being by not allowing Canadians to have this legislation passed?
