Madam Speaker, Greeting · 14 wordsit is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola, GreetingProcedure · 13 wordsand it is particularly important to me to rise today on this point.Procedure Claims · 19 wordsNumber one, Bailey’s law is languishing in the Senate.¹ It should be passed by the Senate tomorrow or today, The ask · 10 wordsand I hope the hon. minister will help with that. Claims · 101 wordsNumber two, I have been quoted on this bill, Bill C-16, more times than I can count. The funny thing is that it is on the issue of the safety valve, and I do not think I have given a single speech on the issue of a safety valve on this bill.² The Liberals, for years, mocked Conservatives when we talked about constitutionality and said that we were out to lunch, so between 2022 and 2024, I spoke about these issues.³ I did not assert and support government legislation when it came to Bill C-16 and give my imprimatur of approval.⁴ Procedure · 8 wordsI want that to be very, very clear.Procedure Claims · 84 wordsIn my comment here, I want to say very clearly that I believe my words have been misconstrued. If my words are going to be stated, the whole context of it should be stated, particularly when I was stating it with respect to sex offences against children, which the government refused to legislate for years and years.⁵ The last thing is that I would remind the hon. minister that it is not called “child pornography”; it is called “child sexual abuse and exploitation material”.⁶
