Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The government members opposed this in the House. They've opposed this at committee. They've had a dog-ate-my-homework excuse twice now. I don't want to give any more fodder for Mr. Bittle to follow up with, but I do understand that there are some concerns in regard to it.
What I would simply suggest is an amendment. I'll make the following amendment, that we change the language of MP Saks's amendment to say, “six months from royal assent”.
Essentially, Mr. Chair, [Technical difficulty—Editor] it would say that once this receives royal assent, the government would have six months to implement it. That would allow for them to go through much of what they're talking about. There's nothing to prevent them from starting today to do the necessary work. I do think that six months would give the government adequate time to put everything into place in terms of the schedule.
