It is important to say that I do not want to be in any way overly harsh towards people who work in the drafting office and who do huge work. It is simply an issue of the pressure of work that is taking place at present. There is a finance Bill that will need to be drafted soon, a planning Bill that is going through the Senator's House, a gambling Bill, a family law report Bill and other pieces of legislation, such as the hate crime legislation, that are all advancing as well. There is significant pressure on the Office of Parliamentary Counsel. I made that statement in terms of an issue of time. It is not an issue of policy.
