I'll wrap this up very quickly.
As much as one member of this committee would like this to be different, and he comes at this issue with great passion--I have a great amount of respect for that member--the reality is that we either get this bill in as is, with no amendments, or the government could very well fall. We're all aware of that. We all watch the news. We'll get absolutely nothing. So those are the two choices.
Gentlemen, the question is quite simple: given those two choices, which one would you take?
