To answer your first question, I have heard the concern that it could have an impact on trade agreements, but I have yet to see how it would impact trade agreements. There would definitely need to be a look at that to see how, but nobody has shown me a line within CUSMA, for example, that would be problematic for us. That's why I'm open to amendments, to make sure that is not a barrier to this bill moving forward.
As for the second part of your question, I don't speak for the minister. I've said in earlier remarks that if this bill can't move forward because it doesn't have the runway to go through the process before the next election, the next-best option is that the minister pick it up and move it.
No, I can't speak for the minister as to why this hasn't been done previously.
