Gary Anandasangaree: “What is not acceptable is obstructionism, and that’s what I’m frustrated about.”

Delay and stalling tactics is not what’s warranted right now. What is warranted is collaboration and cooperation.

We talked to law enforcement, we talked about the practicalities of shortening it — it does impede their ability to do an effective investigation, so one year is something that I believe we will hold steady on.

The one matter that we didn’t anticipate at that time was the Supreme Court challenge.

When there is a Supreme Court hearing on a matter that is quite relevant to the program, I think it’s incumbent upon lawmakers to ensure that we respect that process.
