Thank you very much.
Congratulations to you, Mr. Cooper, for sponsoring this bill. I think this is a very important bill as it closes a gap that exists within our criminal justice system.
I'm sure you've read the comments on this bill. Some say that maybe we shouldn't support this because it would cause delays in the system. All of us want to make sure that our criminal justice system acts in an expedited way at every stage.
What is your response to those who are afraid that this may cause delays in seeing justice done?
