199 words · 12 sentences · 16 clauses

Replying to Ben Carr (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend my hon. colleague from Winnipeg for bringing the bill forward. She has been a tremendous advocate, not only for this family, but for the broader community, for quite a long time now. I am pleased to see that the bill has made its way to the floor of the House of Commons. I am certainly open to supporting the bill to the committee stage. I understand that there are some questions that might have to do with jurisdiction or with privacy. Can my colleague can speak to some of the reasonable amendments she feels we might be able to make collaboratively at the committee stage in order to get the bill back to the House in tip-top shape, in order to make it the law of the land?”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 32 wordsI greatly appreciate the question from the hon. member. We work very well together on the industry committee, ¹and it has been a pleasure to get to know him over the years.Thanks Promise · 31 wordsI am not proposing any amendments, as I think the bill is great as it is, but I am very open to amendments if other parties would like to propose them. Reasoning · 21 wordsMy one concern is that I do not want to see the bill watered down to where it is just symbolic. Claims · 19 wordsOur goal, mine and the Moberg family’s, with the advocacy they have done, is to make a real difference. Reasoning · 24 wordsI believe, given the alert structure that exists, there is a serious federal role to be played, in the sense that it can lead. Claims · 18 wordsThe Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience can call a federal-provincial-territorial meeting, for example, on silver alerts.³ The ask · 26 wordsLet us get to the table. Let us discuss a framework. Let us have some coordination across the country. There can be a real leadership role. Claims · 28 wordsI just want to point out as well that right at the beginning, subsection 3(2) specifies working with provinces and territories as paramount, ²so it is in there.
