I drew number eight in the order of precedence for private members' bills. We were in a frenzy because of the short time to do something, and we were looking for something that made sense and was worthwhile. It had to be short, and it had to be simple, but it had to be worthwhile. I felt there was no point in wasting the opportunity to put together a bill.
We went through a number of possible scenarios, and this leaped out as obviously the best thing to come forth. On its face, it's easy to do. It's easy to understand. It's easy to see how it will save lives. It's easy to see that we can achieve it in a reasonable time frame. Let's make the one shot I get at a private member's bill worthwhile: that's what drove it.
