I think in this case it's because we're introducing the additional authority to suspend that was referenced a little earlier. We didn't have the authority to suspend before, so the new authority, which is to suspend for a year or more, is being put in place within the existing structure the minister has, and then as soon as the bill passes, assuming it passes, we have delegation instruments that the minister immediately signs that delegates that back to us.
On May 16th, 2012. See this statement in context.
