Thank you, Chair.
I think the subcommittee, then ratified by the committee, did a quite remarkable job with our schedule in terms of just having one meeting. I think it's important to point out, when we are looking at the budget implementation act, that we knew it was coming. We managed to book in a number of dates. It is also important to recognize that within this motion we are looking at having 10 other committees do substantial work, so we're in a much better position than we might have been.
Again, we will speak against the amendment. It is time to move forward and have our conversations with officials and with witnesses.
Thank you.
