--I heard your decision, and for the record I wanted to differ with it. There hasn't been an opportunity to debate that here at the committee. I'm not going to prolong the debate; I wanted to make the point that the specific scope of the bill involved the restriction or adaptation or modification of the circumstances in which conditional sentences could be used. The amendment you've just ruled on clearly operates within that scope; it deals with the times or circumstances in which conditional sentencing can be restricted. And in my view, I did not see the amendment as beyond the scope of the bill. I wanted to put that on the record, and my remarks end there.
Thank you.
