Thank you, Chair.
I'll be really quick. We do have witnesses here, and I'd like to see us proceed as quickly as possible.
I was not here on Monday when Mr. Comartin brought this forward. He mentions clearly pertinent information. Well, my position would be, and I think most of us have been around this table long enough to know, that if there is some information someone needs before proceeding or before deciding how to vote, that request should be made well before we proceed to clause-by-clause. If the information that was needed to decide how to proceed with clause-by-clause wasn't available, clause-by-clause could have been delayed. No request was made. Now this bill is no longer with our committee. We're no longer vested with it. It's with the House, and this is not the appropriate time, in my view, to try to bring a bill back to our committee. If the information was necessary, we could have dealt with it at that point.
I think we do have a very busy agenda here. I don't want to delay this any further, so I'm not going to speak on it any further, except to say that on this side we are going to be opposing Mr. Comartin's motion, and think it's inappropriate to bring it at this time.
