Mr. Speaker, as the member knows, even though a bill may have received royal assent, if it is not proclaimed, it is not active law.
I can give the member another example. The Federal Accountability Act was, in fact, passed in a prior Parliament and was given royal assent, but it was not proclaimed until the current government actually brought in its accountability bill, which made amendments to this act which had not been put into force, so that those things happened subsequently.
The member is correct. The bills have received royal assent, but they have not been proclaimed. That is the point that has not been made.
