You've clarified it a little. I really appreciate how passionate and knowledgeable you are on this subject. It's been very useful.
Oftentimes, when we're studying a bill, we get the legalese of the documentation and then we get a briefing, as we're going through clause-by-clause, that gives us the answers that, had we had this before we had entered into the study of witnesses, we would have had a better opportunity to put forward amendments and understand exactly where the different pieces are.
It really would have been nice to have heard some of this before we were at this stage, because you're clearly very knowledgeable and very passionate about what you're doing. I want to thank you and commend you for that.
I'm a bit frustrated that the process happened the way it did. We're in a space in which we have a limited option to create amendments at this point, even though you're now bringing up some really important things that might have warranted amendments, had we had the time to do it beforehand.
