I agree with all the changes!

As the writer of the bill, can we fix an error I made in it while writing? My intent was that the word predecessor say successor, but at the time of writing I had confused the two words. This is awkward to bring up because it's my error, but I would like to fix it.

That changes the intent of the bill and therefore isn't something I can do via Chair discretionary powers. You'll have to submit a separate amendment.
