Thank you very much, Ms. Zaccour.
You did say, sort of offhand, “a couple more weeks”. I have to respond as a parliamentarian: In parliamentary terms, another couple of weeks would have meant missing the spring session completely, and we would have been here this fall, at this time, trying to deal with this.
I know that's sometimes hard for people to contemplate, but for Parliament to move as fast as we did was a minor miracle. If we hadn't at that point, we would likely be here now. We're in a minority Parliament, so we also risk the instability of a minority Parliament not getting to act at all. I think sometimes there is a greater risk than is generally understood, if we had not acted.
I guess that leads to my question again of whether there was or still is a vacuum to fill. I think I know your answer, but I would like you to address that directly.
