Thank you.
A lot of people have taken the time to come in to speak to this bill. Different people have different positions on the bill. There have been considerable efforts on the behalf of some members of this committee on the other side to open up the hearings and to drag out the review by not going to clause-by-clause.
I feel very strongly that a good number of the members of this committee, having heard the witnesses, have taken time to consider the bill, to consider the testimony, and to prepare amendments, which are to be tabled before the committee. As a courtesy to the witnesses and to the efforts of the members of the committee, I think we should proceed to consider the amendments proposed.
I would agree that we should move forward and vote on their motion, but I feel very strongly that I want to recognize everything we've heard from people and the work done by members of the committee.
