Chair, I'll be supporting the amendment. I sat on a utilities commission for a number of different years, and I think the most compelling evidence we have is that there is an accreditation process. I think Mr. Cotton has done a good job of making a case, but at the same time I wouldn't object if there were a so-called—and I'm using the words of Mr. Cotton—formalization process for that accreditation. For that reason I'll be voting for the amendment.
I don't think it would create undue costs and burdens and so forth. What it would do, I think, is provide a little more prescribed formula, which would be done by the department itself.
