Madam Speaker, if I were to encapsulate it, I would suggest to my friend and colleague, who posed a very good question, that it does two things. It complements budgetary allocations in a very real way because it puts in significant changes in law to ensure that there is more information sharing, as an example. It is also complemented in terms of the significant budgetary measures that we are taking. I mentioned earlier, for example, the hiring of 1,000 new RCMP officers and 1,000 new CBSA employees.
Those two issues will, in fact, make a profoundly positive difference for the citizens whom he represents and whom we all represent.
I would hope, for that reason in itself, that we would get more co-operation in seeing the legislation get through to the committee stage.
