Frank Caputo Conservative
“We should not rush this bill through Parliament. The opposition is taking time because the government did not make a good case for it, and it has flaws that need work. We need to look at this bill carefully to make sure it is done right.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I practise my French with the member once in a while, and I have enjoyed sitting with her on the public safety committee. There is a lot to go through here, and I am not going to be able to get through it all, but one of the things I want to say about Bill C-22, and I talked about Internet luring, is that my life in my former career revolved around lawful access. It really did. We heard that the opposition delayed it. I will say that I do not know that the government made the best case for the bill. I think there were a lot of areas we really needed to address, but at the end of the day, crime is not an issue. What I want to see is the best bill possible and, as parliamentarians, we should be endeavouring for the best bill possible. When people say we need speedy passage, no, we need proper passage and we need prudent passage. I will always scrutinize bills to get prudent bills.”
