Premièrement, j'aimerais corriger ce qu'a dit le député; il était peut-être absent quand, le 15 février, notre leader à la Chambre a annoncé très clairement que nous étions disposés à renvoyer le projet de loi C-12 au comité, mais l'opposition n'a pas donné son consentement.
First, I will correct the record for the hon. member. I think it was February 15, and I do not know if the hon. member was here, when our House leader certainly made very clear that we were willing to move Bill C-12 to committee, but it was obstructed by the opposition party that denied consent for that.
