I spoke to congress too and have read its amendments and what it has proposed. I am not for one second suggesting that it is purposely leaving a potential loophole but I have spoken to employment law experts and they have said there is a potential loophole there. That is why I brought forward this amendment, that is, to ensure that any potential loophole will be closed off so there is no ambiguity for employers. There will be a few employers seeking to tear this apart because by their very nature they exploit employees. That is their business and their legal people will forensically dissect this for any loophole. I propose closing off any potential loopholes.
