  • Re: Bill C-22 
Madam Speaker, I have a quick question for the member with respect to the timing. We know the government has been working on this for years. It tabled the first legislation back in 2021. Then, because of the snap election, it stopped and had to start all over again, so it has been working on it for years. We hear once it passes, presumably it will still take another year in order to negotiate with the provinces and develop the regulations. I wonder if the member has a concern that the government is already years into it, yet it does not have regulations at this point.

Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned in her intervention the length of time the regulations are going to take. Here we are. We have legislation and it will go to the Senate, which will do its work, and then it will receive royal assent. We heard at committee that it will likely be at least a year before the regulations will be developed, so who knows how long it will be before benefits will actually get to people. I am wondering if the member can expand a bit on the length of time these regulations are going to take to develop considering that the government has been in power for eight years, it had the same legislation in the previous Parliament and it sounds like it has not done much work to put regulations together.
