Madam Chair, I invite you to proceed to a vote. If this amendment passes, I will simply withdraw my motion, because I believe our committee has other essential work as well. Under the circumstances, the intent was not only for our committee to be able to quickly get this bill to the House, but also to be able to report back to the House on all the studies that we have to do, including the study on Internet accessibility and affordability. If we were to pass the motion as amended, our schedule as a committee would render all of our work null and void.
I wanted our committee to work efficiently. If the motion is amended in this way, I will simply withdraw it, so that we keep the original schedule.
