Mr. Speaker, I have a great degree of respect for my colleague across the way. We have many people in common in the city of Winnipeg, and I believe him to be a very thoughtful and honourable person.
Having followed some of the proceedings of the justice committee and having had a chance to review the bill and the amendments that were made recently, I do believe that much of the concern has been addressed. We can always have a debate, of course, and it is usually a subjective one, about how much debate is enough debate and how much consultation is enough consultation.
I do believe, given the urgency of the need for this legislation right now, that an appropriate amount of discussion has taken place in this country and that Canadians will have the opportunity to tell us how they feel.
