Madam Speaker, yes, the Arbour report did clearly recommend this legislative change, but so did the Deschamps report years earlier. This was a legislative change that was recommended almost 10 years ago and accepted by the previous government, but it sat on the current government's desk without movement for years. Here we are now, nine years into the Liberal government, in the twilight of this Parliament, trying to implement a change that should have been at least initiated close to 10 years ago. Does the member know why the government, for which she is a spokesperson, waited so long for this legislative change?
