Madam Speaker, I thank the member for the question about why it took so long for the government to respond. We can only speculate about that. If I was to speculate, I would say the government was hoping that it could be hidden and covered up and that nobody would expose it. It took two years for it to come out in the media, and it was finally exposed. That is why we are only just hearing about it and debating it now. That is speculation, but I believe that the hope on the other side that it would never come to light is why it has taken this long for any action to be taken.
