Replying to John Barlow (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, at the beginning of the member’s speech, she mentioned that, although the bill is well-intentioned and there are some good elements to it, one of her concerns was the potential of adding additional bureaucracy, which could slow down some of the things we are trying to accomplish with the bill, certainly in ensuring that the tools are there for our law enforcement to act on these things. Could the member build on some of her concerns regarding other elements of the bill, including the bureaucracy, that are a concern to our stakeholders?”
