It is my view that it is a contempt of parliament to have the introduction of a bill so late, knowing full well the timetable in terms of the previous tobacco legislation, Bill C-71, and the time it takes for this parliament to pass Bill C-42, putting it through all the proper stages.
It has taken a long time for parliament to pass Bill C-42
It never explicitly said that it is taking a long time to pass Bill C-42
