What we're really getting at is that we're being asked to fast-track a bill's passage. There was some ongoing work being done over the last two years.
A bill like Bill C-2 requires a significant amount of time, but legislators and departmental officials had to deal with an election, which seems to have delayed the drafting of this bill, or the conclusion of the drafting of this bill. We then had to wait a significant amount of time for it to come back to Parliament to be introduced as new legislation, and now we've been asked, because of the need for haste, to fast-track the bill's passage.
What we're hearing—at least what I'm hearing—is that it was difficult to get this done on time.
