Madam Speaker, I appreciate the interjection and question from my colleague for Winnipeg North. He and I are used to debating each other from our days in the Manitoba legislature, but not too much, because we were both in opposition in those days. However, we did teach him how to speak. When we had the opportunity to filibuster, we were always short a person to speak in the Manitoba legislature, but we could go to my colleague for Winnipeg North and ask him if he wanted a chance to speak. He was the only Liberal in the house at the time, and so he never refused us. I think he learned his lesson on how to carry on well. However, I will not try to do that. The big thing here is that Canadians need to know that the minister still has extreme powers in the bill, which is why we are making sure that we put it on the record that there need to be some amendments coming forward at committee. The government is listening to that, and I would hope that it would be willing to look at some of those amendments when the time comes, and the bill will get to committee.
