This bill is just another example of the government playing games instead of focusing on real issues. It's a waste of time and taxpayer money to be electing members to standing committees when there are so many pressing problems that need to be addressed. This is just a distraction from the real issues facing our country. The short term affects of this bill will only further divide our government and hinder any progress that could be made.
