Replying to Marianne Dandurand (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I really appreciated my colleague’s speech, particularly her comments on how things went at committee. I think she gave a very good description of the situation. It is an urgent problem, one that we are taking seriously. Given the seriousness with which this matter must be addressed, what does she think is most important in the short term?”
