Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is to the honourable Mr. Reid. From the discussion, it's quite evident that the new government has done exactly the things for which its predecessor has been ridiculed. The government has only issued a discussion paper instead of a comprehensive reform bill.
I would like to echo Mr. Peterson's comment that if the government really has a will to pass this act, they should table that act asap. On the other hand, the minister was here earlier as well, and Mr. Chair you can be a witness to this. He said he wanted to be on the right side of this and he wanted to get it done right. If he had a bill to be on the right side, that is to bring this act before the committee, before Parliament, for a reading...though you cannot read the mind of the government, certainly you can comment on whether it would be wise to bring in an act in draft form rather than a discussion paper, as this new government brought in.
