Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Saskatchewan on his speech, especially for the few words he spoke in French. I am sure that he will be able to make a speech or provide us with full responses in French in no time. I am optimistic. I congratulate him on his speech on this extremely important topic.
The government is treating this issue as if it were a trivial matter, a legislative formality that can be rushed through, even though people have been waiting 11 years for something to happen on this issue. With their new majority, the Liberals are handling this issue without any consideration for the victims, who are likely the people who are most vulnerable and most directly affected by the legislation that is going to be implemented.
I would like to know if my colleague agrees that it might be a good idea to take the time to collaborate again and take another look at the amendments that were adopted in committee, some of them unanimously, so that we can carry out our work in a responsible manner that shows respect for the victims.
