Thank you, Mr. Brown.
Minister Qualtrough, I'm not going to leave you out. This one is for you. Thank you again for being here today.
I want to just touch on this issue. I know it's a very touchy subject. Over the last week we've been back and forth like a ping-pong ball, saying who's to blame for any delays
The debate day for the bill or the first day that we actually talked about this in the House of Commons was Monday. I'm sure you can understand that this is progressing at lightning speed. Of course, legislation has been doing that for over a year now. I think it was understandable at the beginning. I'm a little more hesitant to say that's an excuse we can use now, a year in.
Can you provide more of an understanding for committee members about why we didn't get this bill in January, for example?
