I join with my colleagues in congratulating Senator Colm Burke. The Bill highlights other areas where we can work on legislation in a cross-party manner. Sometimes we are too protective of legislation, but we can take a leaf out of Senator Burke's book and see where we can and cannot agree in order to work on important legislation. This issue only affects a small minority but has a significant impact. The House could work on many small Bills like this together and we should follow Senator Burke in working on such proposed legislation and move it forward together.
