“We may not be able to agree what time of day it is in this Congress, but we can agree that we all ought to come together to help those who are unable help themselves, or to help those who want to care for the ones around them.

“I’m here to celebrate with my colleagues who took the initiative, I’m here to celebrate others who came alongside, but most of all we’re here to celebrate the lives of those who are being supported by this act.”
