I think this is self-explanatory. I really wish I could persuade members to accept this as a fundamental, necessary change to the bill, but I'm doubtful that I will be able to. Maybe I will leave it at that, since I know members don't want me to keep taking time, except that maybe I could ask the finance department officials if they have any problem with this before we move to the vote.
