Mr. Speaker, I have just three words to conclude: He should know. In terms of Bill C-56 and Motion No. 30, the important thing for Conservatives to remember is that, rather than blocking this bill, which is what they have been trying to do, they should be looking to support it. They say…

…that I am sharing my time with the hon. member for Don Valley East. We are here today to talk about Bill C-56. This bill, unfortunately, has been delayed by the Conservatives, time after time.
