however a bill like this, even if applied altruistically by the current government, doesnt mean it cant be taken advantage of by another government in the future.

I agree with this, and your other points. There’s always a cause for concern when it comes to governments, especially as we witness the disaster south of the border.

But the reality is, any evil government in the future will either change “good bills” or come up with their own “bad bills”, regardless.

The question is: do we stall progress in the meantime? Why not fix our current problems, and deal with any potential future ones if/when they come up?

We see from the States that any totalitarian administration will remove protection for women, children, elderly, veterans, immigrants (legal or otherwise), the sick, and the poor at any given notice (within weeks of taking power!).

Even when those protections have been put in place through decades of hard work, debate, and cooperation among their political parties.

Politics is always a game, unfortunately. This bill will be debated and adapted, for better or worse.
