Thank you, Chair.
Certainly, although I appreciate the comments of my colleague, I do want to make a few comments. One is that though this particular piece of legislation creates a shift, if you actually review the testimony at first and second readings, the arguments for and against this legislation are pretty well articulated. I think that with 10 witnesses—that's a significant number of witnesses—we can have a robust viewpoint in the allotment.
There's another thing I want to note. We have a really significant and important agenda ahead of us between now and June. If we look at how full that is and at our witnesses here today, I think that in order to do all the important work we have to do we've managed to come up with a schedule to do that appropriately.
Thank you.
