Either way, even if it's in the morning, to then have us try to turn around amendments to her bill less than a day after we've heard the testimony is very unreasonable. We'd have to go back to our own policy analysts, talk with drafters and consult on how best to rectify any flaws with her implementing legislation that we might find during her testimony on that very same day.
That's just one problem. The obvious other problem is that we're at end of day on Monday. We have three days to figure out how we're going to amend this new legislation. If there's testimony that makes a compelling case on the flaws in the legislation, we could be down to hours to scramble and fix them.
I saw during the pandemic the number of times the government made drafting errors or tried to slip in things that we didn't expect would be there and had nothing to do with the pandemic, things we caught at the last minute. Well, that's difficult if you're rushing legislation through. Let me give you some examples.
