Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, no, no, I can't do that. We only have so much capacity in this government. You know, there was the bill the Member was referencing that moved through very quickly. Unfortunately, at the Department of Justice we have a limited number of policy staff who work on all of our initiatives, and then we have a limited number of drafters as well. And so to bring forward all of these items in such a short timeframe, it wouldn't be logistically possible if we want to it well. And we also have a public engagement piece we want to do with things, especially like the SCAN legislation. We don't want to bring forward this legislation if it's just going to be defeated in the House because there's opposition across the territory. So we want to make sure we go out, have conversations, and bring forward legislation that will be supported. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
