Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola. I appreciate my colleague's passion and nuanced approach. I did not take him to say in his comments that we Conservatives want to stymie law enforcement. I think it is quite the opposite: We want to have a system that is built on efficiency, has laws that are charter-compliant and gives us the best bill possible.
Thus far, we have heard far too often, in my view, that if we oppose this bill, we oppose law enforcement and the gathering of information lawfully and appropriately. I simply disagree with that assessment. I wonder if he could provide his thoughts.
