Thank you very much.

I have a follow-up question. Could you explain to the committee how important it is to tighten the language. I know you have said—I'll try to be succinct—you wanted to be somewhat prescriptive, yet not restrictive, with regard to this piece of legislation.

I wonder why you felt it important to tighten up the language with respect to the importance of the parole board while making every effort to fully understand the needs of the victims and specifically the victims' families.
