| No need for permission to establish this Committee, just want to make sure the Senate specifically approves the fund allocation and mandate for Senator Aurelia's sub-committee.

| I believe in rights Senator Vanden, but I also believe in responsibilities too - to fail to fulfill responsibilities may result in rights being curtailed. I believe that if one conducts himself in a way that is prejudicial to good order and discipline then they forfeit certain rights.
