You know that my preference is that we get this done now with the 35,000. This is serious, in terms of whether it's about health benefits or post-secondary. This is what we're hearing from people. They don't want to wait any longer. What we are hoping for.... Whether it takes a year or two years to get the rest of these inequities dealt with in a bill, we are committed to getting those done and getting it right in that way. We do not believe that we have time to deal with the inequities that are not sex based in the time available or that the court would give us sufficient time to get it right.
I think you know, as most people know.... I don't think that parliamentary committees are the way the crown consults. We actually do have to get out and do our work first and then bring it back to committee, with hopefully all of these other inequities dealt with.
