Mr. Speaker, law enforcement and Canadians as a whole wanted bail reform legislation. I remember, just last fall, when the Conservative Party of Canada was obstructing it and refused to allow it to pass. I literally begged and pleaded with the Conservatives here in this very spot to allow bail reform legislation to pass before the end of last year.
At the end of the day, I think we want to see more co-operation among parliamentarians to deal with the Canadian first agenda. It is time that we look at the whole crime package. The Prime Minister has brought forward to the House substantial pieces of legislation, and we need to start working together.
Conservative filibustering has not been in the public interest. It might have been in the Conservative Party of Canada's interest, but it has not been in the interest of Canadians, and we need to stop that and start focusing on Canadians.
