I'm trying to get some professional advice here as we move along.
I get your point that if we took out the reference that there are no amendments and just say we're providing commentary, which is what we're asked to do and not reference the amendments, then you're free, through your colleagues, to talk about amendments. I have no problem taking the sense out that there are no amendments because you are technically correct. That's your brilliant legal training, I'm sure, that's coming to light here.
I understand your point. If the committee's comfortable, we can take out the reference to no amendments and just say we're providing commentary that we've.... Would it be better to pass along the recommendations with that minor adjustment and leave the amendments out?
Then we're not dealing with amendments at all. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Then you're free to make commentary to the finance committee as you see fit. Is that reasonable?
