I'm very concerned about the amendments. I realize the regulations and rules we have to allow those amendments to be presented today. I don't know about anybody else. Maybe other people have a more enjoyable life than I have, but I spent the last three or four days poring over the amendments. This is a new committee for me, and I have several questions, certainly for the officials of the department.
I find it strange here, now. I'm just concerned, number one, about the fact that we have these 34 new amendments. How are we going to proceed on a clause-by-clause basis? Are these all going to be in the order in which they're presented in the binder we received? It just creates some chaos for me, as a member. And I'm concerned about how we're going to proceed today with the plan we had in place for today, now that we have these amendments.
It is lack of good faith, I think, to present these amendments. If we had one or two new amendments presented today, that would be something we could deal with, but to have 34 laid on us begs the question of how we proceed.
