Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To my knowledge, there hasn't been a gap when there's not been an important government bill presented. In fact, we continue to try to push forward, which unfortunately has been delayed by opposition many times.
What I do want to say is that there's an agreement in place. Just because new parliamentarians are elected doesn't mean the work of government starts all over again. This is a ridiculous argument we've heard repeatedly. The agreement didn't end. We have an obligation under our perimeter security plan to move forward in a timely fashion. In fact, there is a deadline approaching: summer of 2012. There is a deadline approaching.
I'd like to ask perhaps Mr. Zigayer, Mr. Bolton, or Ms. Nares if you could comment on the deadline that's approaching. What would be the consequence of not delivering on the first deadline?
