Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague spoke a lot about the important work being done at the justice committee. We have already had many witnesses come forward to provide testimony, crucial information and feedback on Bill C-5. Would the member care to elaborate on how splitting this bill would impact the committee's good work?

  • Re: Bill C-5 
Madam Speaker, I thank the member from Whitby for his speech. Just before him, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice made an interesting comment about the possible splitting of the bill. He said that if the bill were to be split in two, witnesses would probably have to be recalled to testify on the separate parts of the bill. What this comment implies is that the testimony cannot apply in the same way to the two parts of the bill that some want to split. Are the Liberals not admitting that these two parts are different enough that we would want to vote on them separately?
