Madam Speaker, with the exception of that last statement, I am in concurrence with the leader of the Green Party. Having said that, if we were to do what the leader of the Green Party is saying, we would not be able to pass any legislation. Bill C-9 would die. There is no reason Bill C-9 could not have passed at the end of last year. We could have passed it. It could be the law today. The reason it has not passed is that the Conservative Party refuses in many ways to pass legislation, and ironically they will then go out in the media and say that we Liberals cannot pass our own legislation and cannot deal with our own legislative agenda.
My Conservative friends should look in the mirror. If they want to do what is in the interest of Canadians as a whole and in the public interest, as opposed to the Conservative Party's best interests, I believe they would recognize the value of legislation and at least allow it to come to a vote. It does not take much to filibuster legislation, and that is what we have witnessed, day in and day out, coming from the Conservative Party of Canada, sadly.
