It's an objective question.
I think it's tough to give a timeline to these kinds of things. Frankly, the discussions I've had have been more general in terms of what issues need to be addressed. Obviously I'm not privy to what's discussed in cabinet or what's discussed in the cabinet committees. So in terms of timelines as to exactly when legislation will come forward, I'm not privy to that. I don't think it's fair for me to ask cabinet to break confidence to say that.
They have been very helpful, I would say, in terms of sharing information with me—information that is obviously available to all the public—and in encouraging me to bring forward suggestions in other areas as well.
I'm confident that this is a priority for the government. I certainly think that's the indication I've been given. I've also been given the indication right from the get-go that the government is willing to work with me on this piece of legislation. My understanding has been that if I were open to amendments, if the bill addressed some of the concerns not only of the government but also of opposition members, the bill could then go forward and address one part of the problem right now, and then the more comprehensive legislative package could come forward and complement the entire area.
Does that clarify it?
