The minister's office is telling you and me that Parliament doesn't matter, because if you're saying that December 31 is your deadline, you're basically saying that we're somehow going to pass this before December 31 without seeing it, without our stakeholders having a chance to talk about it and without any type of oversight or review. That isn't going to happen. That's what I'm saying.
You've missed your deadline. I don't see how this is going to be done by December 31, unless the Liberals are going to pull something out of their hats, and unless it doesn't need parliamentary approval.
There was some talk earlier about a continuity agreement. Is that dead, or is that something that's still percolating in the background?
