Thank you.
The other piece of this amendment that scares me is that it will receive royal assent after.... There are bills that pass and linger for years without receiving royal assent. That is not necessarily uncommon in the world of private members' bills.
I am wondering if there is any kind of assurance we can have. I know that no one sitting around this table controls whether a bill receives royal assent or not, but we need to urge the government to use every tool possible to get this bill's royal assent as fast as humanly possible and make sure that those six months.... There is a space in there where it could be faster. I would urge every person sitting here, and everyone working on this project, to start doing the work right now so that it can be done as fast as humanly possible. Frankly, there are families relying on this. They've been waiting for a decade and want to see this cross the finish line.
Like my colleague said, we're not happy about this extra delay, but we want to make sure there are no further delays. This is some strongly worded mom guilt for everybody listening to make sure this actually happens. Don't hold up the royal assent, because that would be really silly—I'm not allowed to use the other S-word.
