Madam Speaker, this idea of consultation I did say in my remarks is good. When we do consultation over and over again with the same groups of people, and we subsidize them with taxpayers' money to prepare their reports and to bring their remarks to our standing committee-we do this over and over again-when does consultation become excessive? How much consultation is enough consultation?
I submit that we have gone through the consultative process. Sometime we have to start making decisions. If this government is not prepared to make a decision in the first year or year and a half of its mandate, it will be facing an election in the second half of its mandate and then I suggest it will be even more hesitant to make decisions than it is today.
