“I want the House to pass this bill. It is hard to pass laws without a majority, but the Prime Minister wants all parties to work together. It is good to see other parties support this bill.”
“Madam Speaker, I am going to allude to an answer I provided a little earlier regarding Bill C-10, because the leader of the Green Party is right that it was a part of the agenda in a previous government. In minority situations, it can be even more of a challenge trying to get legislation through the House, as she would know. Given that there is a majority government, I can tell the leader of the Green Party that we have a Prime Minister who still wants to see collaboration in the House. That is why in my opening comments I talked about it being encouraging to see, whether it is the leader of the Green Party, the New Democrats or the Bloc, a recognition of the value of this particular piece of legislation. It is the Prime Minister’s will to see it pass.”
