Mr. Speaker, a wise person, John Wooden, once said, “If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” The debate today is a perfect example of that.
Back in 2015, we were working against time to pass legislation, and now we have heard the hon. parliamentary secretary say this on a couple of occasions, and particularly this last time, that they found themselves having to bring forward this legislation because of a court judgment, because they did not get it right the first time. Here we are again, racing against time.
What the government could have done was challenge that ruling and heard from the Supreme Court in its wisdom. In parallel with that, we could have had a parliamentary committee study it, as mandated by the previous legislation, and we would have had a shot to get this right. Maybe the hon. member could speak to the importance of due process in getting legislation right.
