They will have numerous conflicting pressures, and this could take a long time. I am stating clearly that I am not willing to take that risk. I commit to having this Bill passed for the children and parents who are desperately waiting for it.

It is not, but we are in the art of the possible here. I am not willing to risk this Bill falling. That is where it is at.
