Expeditious isn't a timeline. I know that no representative of your government has said this publicly. These timelines are very important for these organizations.
As you alluded, we're far behind our allies. The Afghanistan committee made all-party recommendations in June of last year. The foreign affairs committee adopted a motion calling for action in the fall, and we're already at the end of March here.
The question isn't so much about the timeline for passing the legislation. Once the legislation passes, how long will it take to turn around applications from organizations? We certainly don't want to lose another winter of not being able to have Canadian organizations involved in the humanitarian response.
