Before the holidays, the Liberal Party intended to introduce a private member's bill to this effect. We are in full agreement. We see no reason to wait any longer. This debate has already been held. In fact, the question should go directly to the government: what are we waiting for?
I know that there are administrative complications, that some negotiations have to be held, but there is nothing stopping a regulation from being enacted quickly. I know, because I had to do it myself in a previous government.
So could the parliamentary secretary enlighten us about this? We don't want to be debating this for ever. Are you doing it or not? Are you waiting until next Christmas or are you going to do it immediately? What is the government's intention? Our position is that we would like it done right away.
