Seeing as how the Minister raised the matter, the large number of ministerial amendments is regrettable. It is reflective of the history of the poor process with this Bill. There was an attempt to rush it through before Christmas without it being ready. We had to try to stop that. Now, at this 11th hour, most of the amendments have come from the Department. While the Minister has acknowledged it, it is still regrettable.
