Much of the debate so far has been on the substance, which is whether or not these multifaceted matters are right. The issue for committee is a procedural issue. The issue is that we have experts who have appeared before this committee as part of the pre-legislative work who, whether correct or not, state that the amendments that have been brought in will kill all of the good trying to be achieved in this legislation. The issue, right now, for this committee is not whether or not multifaceted fees should be charged. The issue, on which the Chairman will put the question, is a procedural issue.
