Justice June 7th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows or should recall from yesterday, we on this side of the House offered to pass Bill C-15 in its entirety.
I believe the government House leader did seek unanimous consent from opposition parties and that it was refused. It seems to me it is the opposition that is holding up Bill C-15, not us.
Justice June 6th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that the hon. member concedes that much of this legislation has been before the House in earlier parliaments. It is unfortunate that the opposition has not been able to get its act together and work with us to pass Bill C-15.
How long does it take? We are ready to act this afternoon. We would call upon them to join with us to pass Bill C-15.
Justice June 6th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has identified only some of the important elements found in Bill C-15. In fact Bill C-15 deals with amendments to the criminal law.
What I would simply ask members of the official opposition is why, if they are so keenly interested in the legislation, they do not do what the right hon. Prime Minister has suggested.
We will be here this afternoon to pass Bill C-15. We would ask them to be here. Let us just do it.

Mr. Speaker, there is absolutely no need to split the bill. As the right hon. Prime Minister has said, everyone on this side of the House is ready to stand in their place and pass Bill C-15 this afternoon. Let us do it.
Rights Of Children June 6th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, as the right hon. Prime Minister has just said, everyone on this side of the House is ready to pass Bill C-15 this afternoon. Let us do it.
Justice June 5th, 2001
Mr. Speaker, I guess there is one thing we could say, and that is the official opposition is expert when it comes to splitting or dividing.
As I have said on any number of occasions in the House, we are ready to move on Bill C-15. Bill C-15 deals with major amendments to the criminal code. Many of these amendments have been before the House for months. It is unconscionable that those people are playing petty politics with this legislation.

Mr. Speaker, as I have said on numerous occasions, we on this side of the House are ready to move.
In the omnibus legislation we find a series of amendments to one statute: the Criminal Code of Canada. Many of those proposed amendments are not new. The opposition has had months of opportunity to study them. We on this side of the House are ready to move.
