SEN. WIN: Again thank you very much for inviting me and the Senate is quite busy because we'll be terminating our session on March 20. So we're trying to rush many things on the floor to include some of the LEDAC bills like the real property evaluation reform law. We're also rushing some education bills as well and at the same time we're also conducting many consultations, many hearings.
