My understanding is that what we had discussed here and what we had talked about, quite frankly, was that we would try to move it fairly quickly through second reading, that we wouldn't delay the bill, and that we would take a lot of time to study it at committee and a lot of time for third reading. Apparently, that has fallen apart somewhere in the process.
I'm being polite, so I'm not going to point fingers, but we would like to have the bill tabled and we'd like to move it forward, obviously.
