It is something that I think all of us support here. We certainly heard that support from my colleagues in the NDP.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860829\" data-originallang=\"en\">My colleague across the way mentioned that she is looking forward to a full debate in committee, to having a full set of witnesses, and to discussing potential amendments. This particular line of inquiry happens at committee stage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860830\" data-originallang=\"en\">Given that my colleague and her colleagues have expressed support and that we have a a wide base of stakeholder support across communities, and given that this next stage of inquiry happens at committee stage, I wonder if my colleague would answer as to why she will not push the bill toward committee stage at this time.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3860828\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, d'apr\u00e8s ce que je comprends, cette mesure l\u00e9gislative re\u00e7oit un vaste appui d'une grande diversit\u00e9 de groupes et elle vise \u00e0 durcir les peines inflig\u00e9es \u00e0 ceux qui blessent ou tuent un animal d'assistance dans l'exercice de ses fonctions. Je pense que nous sommes tous en faveur de ces mesures ici. Nous l'avons certainement constat\u00e9 en \u00e9coutant mes coll\u00e8gues du NPD.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860829\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma coll\u00e8gue d'en face a dit qu'elle avait h\u00e2te que le comit\u00e9 en d\u00e9batte, entende tout un ensemble de t\u00e9moins et discute d'amendements possibles. Ce volet de l'\u00e9tude se d\u00e9roule au comit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3860830\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme ma coll\u00e8gue et ses coll\u00e8gues ont dit appuyer cette mesure et qu'il existe un appui important dans les collectivit\u00e9s, et comme la prochaine \u00e9tape de son \u00e9tude se fera au comit\u00e9, je me demande si ma coll\u00e8gue voudrait me dire pourquoi elle ne votera pas pour son renvoi au comit\u00e9.</p>"
