I will speak against the subamendment. I will be speaking against the amendment as well.
Every witness we had, except two, indicated that this legislation was unnecessary and mostly agreed that it was also unhelpful and perhaps dangerous. I think that even amending it at this stage and subamending it to try to improve it does not improve it. It could perhaps make it even worse than it is as it stands.
We will be voting against the subamendment and then subsequently, whether it's amended or not, we'll be voting against the amendment, based on the witness testimony we heard from all of the witnesses except two, who we believe were not very helpful witnesses. All of the expert witnesses said that a legislative solution to these issues was not helpful and in fact could pose more dangers to the system.
Thank you.
