Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate that I had the opportunity to meet with my colleague in Brampton, where we had a discussion about extortion. I also met with representatives from Peel Regional Police. At the time, it was in regard to Bill C-2, because Bill C-2 also included lawful access, which is an effective tool. Members do not have to believe me. They should believe what our law enforcement agencies are telling us, which is that this bill would help us in dealing with issues like extortion and so many others. The time to pass the legislation is past due. Lawful access was in Bill C-2 but was taken out. We need to have lawful access.
I look forward to the Conservative Party's eventually taking a position on it. In the meantime, as opposed to filibustering the bill in any fashion, Conservatives should allow it to go to committee, allow Canadians to have it in committee and get their questions answered. The Conservatives can still filibuster afterward if they so choose, I guess.
