@markgrieveson "Idlout said that, after learning more, she now agrees with that approach."
Did she say what she "learned"? What the reason is? Or she's just making shit up?

“They had a very specific reason to table it the way that they did, to make sure that they can meet the obligations given to them by the Nicholas case. So I have definitely been learning a lot more about why the government is taking this approach,” she said.
Maybe there's a time limit to comply in the Nicholas case? So they purport to want to get that narrow fix done in time and leave broader issues for later.
Apparently Liberals are only able to explain things to members of caucus.

Yeah. There's some more details here:
The desired time delay and the claimed jurisdictional issues (by the Liberals) are countered by a lawyer named Ryan Beaton in the article. Further, I don't see any rationale for the second-generation cutoff. I feel the government's claimed jurisdictional issues (if in fact that is a thing, considering Beaton's counter argument) would theoretically apply regardless of whether there was a two generation cut off or not.
