On a point of order, please, I'd like to apologize if the committee, and certainly you personally, were interpreting my comments to mean the bill and the committee. I did not mean the work the committee had done or the clerks who had worked on the committee in terms of the bill in front of us, but rather the response to the committee's report, and then it being put into bill form. That is what I was talking about. It was not about the bill in front of us or the work done on the bill, and the fact that the staff and yourself have been most accommodating. I was talking simply about the bill being put in front of us, that's all. So it wasn't about the committee or the work it's doing, just to clarify.
On December 5th, 2006. See this statement in context.
