Madam Speaker, when the time frame was handed down by the Supreme Court I believe there were preliminary consultations that had begun at that point. I also know that there was an election. During the election, I believe a lot of the work ceased because of the election. Then it was incumbent on the new government to continue developing the legislation.
I go back to the Quebec example that was six years in the making. I go back to other countries that have dealt with this issue, and it was 10 years in the making. Even if there were a continuation of that work for 16 months, it would still not be adequate.
