By referring the bill to a committee before second reading, the government opted to take a different route.
Could you please tell me why the government referred the bill at that stage, before second reading? Could it be that the bill, in its current form, might be deemed unacceptable given its deficiencies, making it necessary to follow such a process?
Moving the bill through all these stages has prolonged the process. I'd like you to tell me why the government decided to proceed that way.
