Thank you, Mr. Genuis.
I have to say that I am fully aware of the fact that you were disappointed. It was something that you emphasized in the proceedings in the House yesterday on several occasions, so it comes as no surprise.
As you are aware, our intent was to hear both from you and from the principal sponsor of the bill as well, Senator Ataullahjan. The clerk was good enough to reach out to you and to the senator. Regrettably, the senator was not available for Monday, so we just decided that it would be a waste of the committee's time if we did not also have the opportunity to hear from Senator Ataullahjan.
Go ahead, Mr. Genuis.
