  • Re: Bill S-8 
Mr. Speaker, all parties in the House today, including our own, are unanimous about wanting this bill to go forward. That is worth noting. In his question, my colleague spoke about a 2017 report of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. However, this is 2022. He said that this was put forward again because of the Senate. It is strange that the government did not introduce this bill itself given the recommendations made in 2017. We have been waiting five years for something on which there seems to be a consensus and that is just common sense. These people have done unspeakable things. That delay is unfortunate, and I hope that the rest of the process to get this bill passed will move more quickly.
