However, the best part of 1984 was that by the end of it, there was not a single Liberal government anywhere in Canada. Maybe that will repeat itself.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5553655\" data-originallang=\"en\">In any event, I want to ask the member this. I agree with much of what he said. I think a number of its objectives are laudable. However, there has been some criticism of the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5553656\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Robert Harvie, a family law lawyer in Alberta and former bencher, wrote in The Lawyer's Daily that \u201cBill C-78 is an expression of 'good intention' without sufficient substance to accomplish real change.\u201d Also in that regard he stated that fundamentally, \u201cBill C-78 is devoid of change to the overall resolution process\u201d itself.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5553657\" data-originallang=\"en\">Could the parliamentary secretary comment on that?</p>",

Toutefois, la meilleure partie de 1984 est qu'\u00e0 la fin, il n'y avait pas un seul gouvernement lib\u00e9ral au Canada. Cela pourrait se reproduire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5553655\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quoi qu'il en soit, j'ai une question \u00e0 poser au d\u00e9put\u00e9.
