  • Re: Bill S-12 
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his work on this issue. I listened to the speech he gave recently on this very topic. I would simply say that the government has shown that it is not really taking this issue seriously. It waited six months to present this legislation. There was a Supreme Court ruling in October. The government introduced the legislation in April, and now here we are, in the eleventh hour, trying to quickly get this bill passed. If the Liberals truly believed that this was a pressing issue, they would not have waited so long to present this legislation to address the Supreme Court's decision.
