  We apply the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics to homogeneous
quantum cosmology and show that the quantum theory is independent of any
time-gauge choice and there is no issue of time. We exemplify this result by
studying a particular minisuperspace model where the quantum potential driven
by a prescribed quantum state prevents the formation of the classical
singularity, independently on the choice of the lapse function. This means that
the fast-slow-time gauge conjecture is irrelevant within the framework of the
causal interpretation of quantum cosmology.
