Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is clearly mistaken. There is no hold up.
He already knows that the consideration that is impacting on the legislation is dictated largely by the Supreme Court decision of last year, by the blueprint document, the consultations that have taken place, the 2,300 submissions that have followed and the desire to put forward legislation that will be effective, that will not end up in court and that will do what the minister and this government has promised: to look after the health of Canadians and to ensure the prevention of disease.
Those are the only considerations. We have indicated before and we will repeat it again today, as I did in committee, it will happen soon.
