I totally get why the government would be hesitant to carve out division 15. Time is the most valuable commodity in the House of Commons, and adding one more bill into a legislative schedule is going to be really tricky and create congestion. I totally get that even though this would be the best approach, it would be something they are hesitant to do.
Delaying proclamation has a couple of benefits.
The first benefit is that, rather than drop tools on everything when we have other obligations, it gives us more of a chance to provide submissions on the details before things have implementation. It allows us the time to properly digest the changes.
It also helps create a bit of a deadline for the second round of review. We've heard no details from the government in terms of what that review is going to look at. If they have a timeline of a year from now, we can look at these amendments and what else we might need in order to properly digest how all these reforms, which a lot of people in the competition world and the economics world are looking for, fit together and find a compromise that we can all work with.
