How much time would that notice require or would some of us who suddenly get some bout of intelligence or light and come up with a spur of the moment amendment, would that be considered? As I support this Motion hoping that we will go and agree, I would really urge that you provide us with guidance on how to deal with the amendments especially considering Section 10 of this 33 would require---"
