Here we are in the fall, four years after the Liberals introduced this legislation and it has not been implemented.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1645535\" data-originallang=\"en\">For the other side to talk about the urgency of this bill, about the need to pass it immediately, is disingenuous. There is no reason it should have sat on the shelf for four years. The blame lies 100% on the other side and it is 100% irresponsible.</p>",

Nous nous retrouvons \u00e0 l'automne, quatre ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s que les lib\u00e9raux ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ce projet de loi, et ce dernier n'a pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en oeuvre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1645535\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand le parti d'en face parle de l'urgence d'adopter ce projet de loi imm\u00e9diatement, il est totalement hypocrite. Il n'y avait aucune raison de laisser ce projet de loi sur les tablettes pendant quatre ans. C'est le parti d'en face qui doit porter tout le bl\u00e2me, car il a agi de fa\u00e7on totalement irresponsable.</p>"
