Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I have a simple answer for the Conservative: Pass Bill C-26. Instead of grandstanding in the House, do something, get on with it, work, vote and pass Bill C-26. We are in touch with our colleagues in Ontario. We are there for the builders and the homeowners, and we will work for the people of Canada.
