Mr. Speaker, I think the Prime Minister was clear in his response to a previous question today. Our government is looking to collaborate in a constructive way with opposition parties, to hear from experts and other professionals in this space, to design precisely those next steps forward since Mr. Johnston has decided to leave his position as special rapporteur. We think that Canadians would benefit from a collaborative conversation, one that we have always been inclined to have. We found it difficult on the other side to find a willing partner, but we are more encouraged this week than we were a week ago.

I want to remind members that if they want to have a debate, they do not have the floor. If they want to have a conversation— Some hon. members: Oh, oh! The Assistant Deputy Speaker (Mrs. Carol Hughes): Order on both sides of the House. It is not helpful when members are trying to have debates on issues that are not currently before the House. If they want to have discussions on that, they should take them out. Resuming debate, the hon. member for Vancouver East.
