"A change of government may have caused a bump in the road but since the bill was already prepared and was merely at the point of being tabled, this was a bump that the government could have handled... Any questions on the bill and its draft could be referred to the stakeholder organisations that were involved and we would have been happy to support the government in this way... By not focusing on the bill in the past year, the government has also lost the chance to ensure that a proper allocation of resources is set aside during the 2021 budget, to ensure an effective implementation of the bill."
