Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to say clearly I will grudgingly vote in favour of this bill. I am disappointed because if we vote in favour, it goes through without any serious objection, unfortunately. If we vote against it, we create ripples that are difficult to see at this time. Will they still charge forward? I have no doubt, so I have to vote in favour of it because I feel like my hands are tied.

I can't see that far in the future, so I don't know what will happen if we don't. I feel left out of the process, so what do I do? Do I vote against it just because I feel left out of the process? I think Members could have been consulted better and earlier because we knew this. The merits on this bill stand on their own and it's not one of those things I really want to vote for, but I feel like my hands are tied.

The government may look at AOC as not united enough to fight against them to vote against this bill. I am not sure how they feel. They may think we are not ready to go. I don't know what the case is. I think AOC's time is coming to stand up and vote against bills like this and to show we really mean business. Whether we put on the gloves, as a metaphor, whether we do whatever we do, the time is coming. So you won't be getting many yes votes as easy as they may come today or as easy as they have come yesterday, so I think the government needs to know that that time is coming.

There are some displeasures I have for voting for yes and I wish I could vote for no. It's about the process. I think special warrants are wrong the way they are being used. I think the special supplementary issues are issues I have and that's why I want to vote no.

Again, I refer back and close by saying I can't foresee the ripples. I don't believe in the merits of this bill. I don't believe in everything that's been brought in with regard to this bill that other Members have had concerns about, but as a whole I will have to vote in favour. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
