Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her question.
The fact is that by letting things drag on, unfortunately, the government has set the stage for the special legislation. The Prime Minister should have picked up the phone and taken action instead of introducing special legislation. I have said it before. That is what we believe.
Therefore, it is important to note that, in our hearts and minds, we believe that when the Prime Minister does not do his duty, we find ourselves in a situation such as this one. Instead of sending the signal that it was preparing a special bill, the government should have sent signals to bring about the successful conclusion of the negotiations.
