My point is, I don't think minority government is an excuse for the delay in the introduction of this bill. Twice in Parliament there was unanimous agreement to proceed with the predecessor bills. Therefore, one cannot say that it's because of a minority government that there was a delay. I believe that all parties are supporting this version of the bill. So if all MPs, whether it's a minority or a majority government, were in favour, then that's not an excuse for such a long delay and all the costs that this delay implies.
My question is, why has the government not treated this as a priority? Why has it taken seven years to get to it?
