Senator Brandis, at the risk of repeating myself, it will facilitate the passage of this bill if we can get some answers. To say that it is the normal process of deliberation is not quite what I call a fulsome answer. So I will ask again: will the minister be able to indicate what was in the government's mind as to why it was necessary to change the legislation and, in particular, why it took from February to now to reach that conclusion?
