We would just like time to consider this, because it wasn't something that we anticipated. We'd like to understand the implications and think it through before we make that decision, because it does impact the rights of some members in the House. Whether you think they may be getting an advantage or not, it does have an impact on some who are not here to express their opinion. I understand it's within the power of the committee to make that decision, but I would like to fully consider what the implications are.
