Not in a previous life, but at a time when I am supposed to have said: "If one can resuscitate several bills with one motion, what stops the governement from resuscitating others?"
In fact, this question is rather important, since in itself the motion we introduced does not reinstate bills. It provides a means for reinstating bills from both sides of the House at the stages they were at in the same Parliament.
The difference is, of course, that the other proposal, the previous government's, applied exclusively to certain government bills, not to all the bills, not even all the government bills, and further provided that consideration of the bills would be resumed at the stage they were at. These are three significant differences.
Third, I would remind you that, in spite of what I said in 1991, I lost the argument.
