I'm going to ask you guys to go further on that, but I have to make this comment before I run out of time.
I have to congratulate and thank the committee for taking this opportunity to come down here. Although we all belong to different parties and wave different flags, there is sincere thought and a sincere effort to further this agenda because of the need nationally, albeit we're here to discuss one region in a national agenda.
The reason I say that—not only in appreciation but also with respect to the next steps and the leadership role this committee can take under our fearless leader, Chair Sgro—is to actually take those next steps and help facilitate, take a leadership role and do exactly what Mr. Nohara was speaking about earlier with respect to putting all these pieces together.
