I think the consultations already conducted are more than enough to prepare a bill. The government has in hand all the data it needs to prepare a bill that could be properly debated in Parliament.
It's obviously important to take into account what we're discussing this evening. Studies such as the one Ms. Cardinal and I are preparing and the one that Ms. Chouinard and Mr. Normand are writing are also very important and will help fuel the discussion.
However, I don't think the publication of a white paper should delay the tabling of a bill, if that's what you're asking, Ms. Ashton.
