You're quite right, but there's also nothing preventing us--unless the committee doesn't want to deal with CEPA--from dealing with it this week and next. We are very close to completing it, so why would we want to delay? I think if it's in our powers--and hopefully wishes--to deal with it now before the Christmas break, I think it would be a good use of staff time too.
