Thank you. I would like to indicate, again, that the opposition has expressed to the government, as I think all parties have, a willingness to facilitate passage of that legislation and three other noncontroversial pieces of legislation in the normal noncontro time on Thursday. It is important that the chamber be made aware of this—that is, we have already indicated agreement to that—given that was used as a basis to argue against the debate on this bill.
