On the recordMay 21, 2004
Let me briefly say I have had the opportunity to talk to the manager of the bill, and we feel very strongly that it is critical that we address this bill. The best way to do it is to allow the managers to work together over the recess and see if they can come back with amendments that are identified so we have some kind of certainty as to how we are going to bring this to closure. In the meantime, while those discussions are underway, we will hopefully be able to proceed with class action.
