“The government is working with the provinces to protect vulnerable people. Most Canadians seem to want this bill. Does the member think the Conservatives' position reflects what most Canadians want?”
“Madam Speaker, I think that the minister has been fairly clear in terms of working with provinces and territories to ensure that we have a rigorous process that has safeguards to protect people. I think that is an important thing to say. In my canvassing, I have had people talk to me about this issue. Where I disagree is that it seems to me that a majority do seem to want to see the legislation. I am not talking about knocking on doors and things of that nature. I am wondering if the member could provide her thoughts on whether she believes that the Conservative Party’s positioning on this issue, because that is what it seems to be, is reflective of what a majority of Canadians would want to see.”
