I would like to make a point for the benefit of Senator Brian Hayes. Even if he believes that the description of the legislation is a misnomer, we are referring to the previous Act and, therefore, it does not make any sense because we are confusing what we are doing now with what was done then. This section refers to the 1997 Act, so it does not make any sense to oppose it. I would much prefer us to spend our time arguing over matters of substance rather than form.
