Madam Speaker, I enjoy working with the hon. member across the way on the science and research committee. Part of this bill has to do with science and research in that animal testing and the use of toxic treatments on animals are things this bill addresses. Through testimony we received from Dr. Chandrasekera, we are going to chip-based technology, which can simulate the testing done currently using toxic chemicals on animals. Could the hon. member comment on how this is an important move forward on behalf of animal rights?

Madam Speaker, I agree that we have seen a gradual improvement in the way we treat animals broadly, especially within the research context, and I am happy to see that included in the bill. The bill has a lot of good things in it. That is why I think it is important that we support it. It just has many shortcomings that make me feel disappointed about it in other ways. I hope we will see a new bill, a fresh bill, on CEPA shortly, but I agree that it is a good step forward.
