“We cannot rush this bill. Children's lives are at stake, and we cannot just redo it if we get it wrong. We need to study it very carefully in committee.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member’s passion for this. I know how important it is to him that this bill passes, that this bill goes through and becomes legislation, but he must also understand that, if we do not do this right, it is not just something we can do a redo on. There are children’s lives at stake here. There are families’ lives at stake. We need to do this right, which means we need to bring it under careful scrutiny, and we need to make sure this is brought under careful scrutiny in committee.”
