Obviously the act had to pass through the Liberal cabinet, and it did. That wasn't something the bureaucracy did. I think I state the obvious when I say that the previous act had to pass through the House. It had to have the support of the majority of the House of Commons.
So it's really not credible to say this was something that was driven by the bureaucracy. It had to have the approval of the cabinet and a majority of the members of the House of Commons in order to become a new act.
