Madam Speaker, first of all, I would have personally much preferred to be debating Bill C-3. What I believe members of the Liberal caucus came to hear and to participate in is Bill C-3. This debate is being imposed upon us by the Conservatives. I suspect they are going to get the Bloc, as it supported the amendments at committee, to support the motion now on the floor. If I am wrong, I will personally apologize to the member.
We should not be debating this motion right now. What we should be debating is Bill C-3. Again, I would agree there is a need for change with regard to conflicts of interest, but when we are dealing with issues like this, would it not be wonderful if more of a consensus was achieved inside the committee and if the amendments brought forward for dealing with conflicts of interest had a consensus? Right now, we are abiding by the Stephen Harper legislation that is currently there.
