Madam Speaker, in a June 15 article in La Presse, Guillaume Parent wrote that the consultations could go on for three years. What does my colleague think about that? Does she not think that is a rather long time to wait for people who are already in need?

Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question. I think that three years is too long to wait for benefits. I would rather see the government put measures in place immediately and then continue to hold consultations to determine whether those measures are working.

Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Calgary for his speech. To be clear and to the point, the framework is lacking, as my friend said earlier. There is not much of a framework, and we are having a hard time seeing what the end result of all this will be, even though we support in principle what we see on paper. My question is this: How does my colleague explain the fact that consultations will follow? We are talking about three years of consultations. Does he think that is a reasonable time frame?
