The problem we're having is that this legislation is a pretty tough regulatory approach. What we're hearing from most of our witnesses is that some of the provisions may be good and necessary, and some are not. Almost all of the witnesses up to today have actually suggested that we find a way to ensure this act does not apply to the level two risk group. I'm wondering if you have a problem with an amendment that would actually add on page 5, in clause 7, after line 22 as part of the exemption clause “any activity involving a microorganism, nucleic acid, or protein that is listed in schedule 2”.
