Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I didn't mean to derail the intent. I want the sponsor of the bill, who I know has been joining us each and every day, to know that the intent wasn't to stop the bill's coming into force. I just wanted to be clear that I think most private members' bills, at least in my experience—granted, it's good advice from the clerk and from the parliamentary secretary on this particular one—are....
We all hold them pretty dear in this place and we all want to make sure that they come into force at the time when the member brings them through the Senate, which is generally royal assent. That happens according to the work done on the member of Parliament's side, in a lot of ways, through the Senate.
Throwing it back to the government is where I had the concern. I'm comfortable that this won't slow down the process for the member, who I know is eager to see this, but we still have some concerns, obviously, with the bill.
Certainly, that wasn't the intent, and I want to make sure that she's aware that that wasn't the intent of my intervention.
