“I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, there are a couple of things I want to make clear. Earlier in my remarks, I acknowledged that the other side of the aisle agrees with us on an administrative grace period. The problem is, if they don't agree to both an administrative grace period and a grace period with regard to lawsuits for people acting in good faith--the key words here are ``good faith''--then there is no grace period because people will just choose to go sue during the grace period, and there will be no grace period. It was good to hear the gentlewoman from California acknowledge that this is only a temporary good faith exception. It only lasts until February 1, 2016. It is just like the administrative grace period, and it only protects people in good faith. Mr. Speaker, I will just ask the gentlewoman from California whether she believes somebody can act in good faith and also deceive and mislead at the same time, because her remarks imply that you can act in good faith while misleading and deceiving people. {time} 1315 I am not an attorney, but I would argue that good faith is really clear, and you are not acting in good faith when you deceive and mislead. Again, this bill should have been on the suspension calendar. We shouldn't even have to be wasting time--valuable time--that we should be dealing with really important issues, as the gentleman from Massachusetts acknowledged earlier.…”
