Madam Speaker, I am grateful and appreciate that the Bloc has recognized the value of Bill C-10 and is working with the government to see its ultimate passage. It is really encouraging that less than 18 months ago, Canadians elected a new government, a new Prime Minister and 70-plus new Liberal MPs.
At the end of the day, this has been established as a high priority for the Prime Minister. That is the reason we are debating the bill today at third reading. That is the reason I spent as much time as I did at the very beginning of my comments asking for the Conservatives to reconsider their positioning and at the very least let us pass the legislation. I can assure members that the Prime Minister wants to see it passed. That is why we prioritized it. Hopefully it will pass relatively soon.
