Madam Speaker, I understand why my colleague from Beauport—Limoilou would ask that question. When I look at the bill's timeline, I can see that it has been before Parliament for quite some time. That is probably one good reason to pass it speedily. The committee spent a significant number of meetings on this bill, during which our colleagues amended it. Our government recognizes the importance of having a civilian authority mandated by law to oversee both the Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP. We all know of situations where that kind of independent civilian oversight would have been desirable. I think it is time for the House of Commons to vote on this bill, and I hope my colleagues will support it.
