Mr. Speaker, I know the member has been a very strong advocate in regard to the entire crime package that the Prime Minister and government have been trying to get passed, but the Conservatives continue to obstruct and try to prevent it from passing.
The member talked a great deal about extortion. I agree with him that extortion is a very serious issue. Bill C-2, lawful access, and Bill C-14, bail reform, are two pieces of legislation that would go a long way in dealing with some of the extortion we are witnessing in Canada.
Could the member express his thoughts on the Conservative Party's continuing to prevent those important pieces of legislation from passing?
