We will indeed have a few amendments to propose.
I was very pleased to hear you say in your opening remarks earlier that teams were already at work reforming the law and that some things were in progress. We also talked about this at a meeting in December 2021.
You also explained why this had to come from the Senate, and that was very relevant. Senators started reviewing the bill in February and I believe they finished in June. After weeks of study, testimony and reflection, the Senators were nonetheless unhappy with how quickly they had to work. While a rigorous process is what is needed, a number of observers have trouble understanding the committee's timelines right now.
Before me I have written communications from Prevent Cancer Now, from Mr. Castrilli, who appeared before your committee, and from the head of Canadian Educators for Safe Technology. They urge us to take the time needed, 20 years later, to make sure the process is rigorous. Right now, though, we are being pushed to work fast.
What do you have to say to all the people calling us and sending us emails to say the process is moving too quickly?
