I understand; however, on the other hand, we could have removed those four or five problematic elements and adopted a large portion of the bill with the agreement of senators and of the members.
I would like to turn back to you, Minister.
You said that one of the reasons why the bill was not tabled in 2008 was that we were faced with a recession and we had to concentrate on economic growth and on recovering from the recession. On the other hand, there is not necessarily a big focus on that. In the end, it is an issue of implementing elements that were already largely approved by the Department of Finance through the letter of intent.
You could have fought the recession and implemented the various economic action plans but also tabled this bill, which is not a big attention-getter and would not necessarily have required that the government spend a lot of resources on it.
