Thank you for your question.
I don't know if you have had the opportunity to ask this question of the public servants who appeared before you. That really is the same question that we have been asking ourselves, which is what are the obstacles to regularly introducing a bill?
Some obstacles are simply a matter of timing: the legislative calendar, for example. Some years, there were minority governments. At that time, it was difficult to get a space in the legislative timeline.
However, we have found that these arguments are not valid. Indeed, it is the role of government to introduce bills, and it is the role of Parliament to study and pass them. Therefore, we don't really understand the dilemma.
There has been a great deal of consultation. I mentioned the summit on tax simplification that we held in December, where former public officials were in attendance. The intention was always to regularly introduce technical amendments, as it is done in other parliaments, for example, the British Parliament.
Indeed, we asked ourselves the question: how to choose the moment to act? This led us to study a type of measure that supports a sunset mechanism.
The British Parliament has a procedure called the recess rule. This states that if a technical amendment is not introduced within a 12-month timeframe—in this case, we find it a bit excessive—the measure is withdrawn and reintroduced at a later date.
I took a brief look at the Westminster Parliament website. There are indeed technical bills included regularly in their legislative agenda.
