This is one year. Justice delayed is justice denied. We either amend our Standing Orders so that we can give committees ample time to work on the petitions or we find a mechanism to enforce that provision of the Standing Order, so that petition reports are tabled within 60 days. We take this for granted. I expect that in 60 days if a committee is not ready with a report, ... view
