Madam Speaker, earlier my colleague spoke about “performative” with respect to the government. One of the biggest criticisms I have heard since the beginning of the new session of Parliament is that, as she mentioned, it took more than a year to reintroduce a bill that has some important distinctions from the last bill but in a lot of ways, probably in the vast majority of the bill, remains the same.
I am wondering if the member could expand on why, she thinks, the government is doing things differently all of a sudden as opposed to just following up with Bill C-61 right out of the gate.
