I oppose the amendment because, as noted, it asks Members to include the line to "make a practical effort to ensure the system does not constitute...". The original provision goes on to state "is not likely to constitute ... a risk to human health or the environment". Members have heard references to potential constitutional challenges to this legislation. How could anyone with a legal brain allow his or her name to be attached to something that states, "make a practical effort to ensure the system does not constitute..."? It beggars belief because who will define what is meant by a "practical effort"?
