Well, this is a business, Mr. Chairman, where if we don't maintain some kind of optimism, we'd all be in a lot of trouble. So let's go on that basis.

Mr. Chairman, this government, in effect, has a year left. One could argue even less than a year in which to do new things. If the Minister does not see that he's going to be able to bring something as big, and deep, and wide in scope as the Species at Risk Act into this Assembly by the May or June session, then I don't see how we're going to be able to clear it during the life of this Assembly. That's just the reality of the calendar. Does the Minister have any firm idea, or any more firm idea, of when that bill will be brought into this Assembly, Mr. Chair?
