Mr. Speaker, I can honestly say I have no idea, and I do not think the 90 days are justified in the end. I think the committee should examine this timeline and correct it. I hope, when this bill comes back to the House for third reading, that we have avoided the blanket exclusion for mental illness. If need be, we can add a sunset clause to that provision to give the government more time, if necessary, but I hope we avoid the blanket exclusion indefinitely. Second, I hope that we cure that 90-day period and reduce it significantly. We cannot possibly want Canadians who are still of sound mind to suffer intolerably for such an extended period of time.
