The fact that three of the five priority questions have been dedicated to insurance underlines just how grave the current situation is. It really is a crisis point for many businesses throughout the country. Many have closed and others are on the brink of closure. This House needs to offer some solutions and we need to be clear and specific about when these solutions will be in place. For example, the Minister said he hopes to have the Judicial Council Bill 2017 enacted this summer.

Will the Minister indicate when that one practical measure will be in place?
