Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, the Bloc Québécois's proposal was in line with what Justice Arbour had recommended, while also taking into account the requests of several victims who appeared before the committee.
However, the work done by Justice Arbour, who also appeared before the committee at the time regarding Bill C-66, dates back five years. The context may have changed since then. It would have been nice to hear from her again in committee, but she would not necessarily have had the opportunity to interview new members of the forces.
In any case, as I mentioned, the Bloc Québécois's proposal was in line with Justice Arbour's recommendations, but it allowed for a choice in cases where it applied at the request of victims. It was a thoughtful, non-partisan and balanced proposal. What is so absurd today is seeing the government undermine all the committee's work on this.
