Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I feel that this bill does not go far enough to address all the issues. Mr. Speaker, this amendment was brought to us very recently. The government sat on it for awhile. We just saw what happens when the government is not prepared to introduce a government document. Harmonization is a good example. Mr. Speaker, I can't support this because it's assuming that something is going to come down the road and we have to act now to avoid it. The Polson (sic) report is something we are reacting to. We don't know what is in the Polson (sic) report. It might have some great stuff in there that's going to make that bill that much stronger, but if we are going to get a human rights bill to avoid what might happen in the Polson (sic) bill, that's just not a good enough reason for me. I believe that we should wait until June, think it through, see what the entire bill would look like and then introduce it for consideration. I think we are jumping the gun and I can't support the motion at this time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
