I am on the same page as our guests when it comes to the arbitrary deadline. I have stated previously that this is a rushed process. While this is important legislation, it needs to be done properly. Mr. Dunne mentioned some of the unintended consequences, for example, regarding guard rails, which were not on my radar. I thank all the witnesses for sharing today.
