Thank you, madam speaker. Thank you, honorable members. And I’d like to thank you also for agreeing to special order this to today. I really do appreciate it. This bill is very important to me and I am a co-sponsor. And um, on that same vain, I think it would behoove me to dispel any rumors about why I couldn’t be here last Thursday.

And more than that, it struck me that until now I have never before had the chance to save a life or protect a grave injustice from occurring in this world.
