Perfect.
We were told that there were many discussions between the various departments.
In December 2021, the U.N. Security Council passed Resolution 2615, which called on the countries involved to amend their criminal codes to allow humanitarian organizations to do their work. Yes, despite their good understanding of the situation on the ground, Canadian NGOs were unable to do their work due to Canada's Criminal Code. After that resolution was adopted, the government took 15 months to come up with a solution. It's 82 pages long. The solution has been there all along if it's there today. And yet, the government is unable to tell us why it took so long.
The Bloc Québécois will support the bill. We will try to improve it quickly so that it can be passed quickly as well.
However, can anyone in the government explain to me why it took so long, when the solution was there from the start, because nothing about the situation has changed since then?
