If I answered yes to the question, I'd have the ire of every one of my members and would probably get fired by the end of the day.
No, absolutely, this bill needs to get passed. My concern doesn't result in the study of this bill. This bill has been studied; it's been consulted. My colleagues here, the witnesses, have also expressed that it's been extensively studied. Stakeholders have had an opportunity over the last decade to comment on the various provisions of this bill, and, yes, please, what's required is for it to be passed expeditiously.
The concern that I expressed was the idea that no one can really thoroughly scrutinize it—not that no one could really, that's not true. There should be the expectation that on a regular basis, every decade, a 1,000-page bill be presented to the committee. It's a matter of, as I mentioned, housekeeping and good administration to just bring legislation on a regular basis.
So, yes, certainly the call from our membership is to pass the bill as soon as possible, but the call going forward is for a mechanism to ensure that we don't get into the situation again.
