Let us be clear on this issue. I declared the amendment tabled by Senator Jim Walsh out of order because it was declaratory in nature. Rather than talking on the amendment which has been ruled out of order, I will allow comments on the section. I remind the House that many substantive amendments will proposed during the course of the debate on the Bill. It might be prudent, therefore, for Members to concentrate on the more substantive amendments before us, although I do not want to stymie anyone.
