I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
I have a note that says that the minister is dealing with
this legislation in the Legislative Assembly and has not been able to sign off
on it as yet, so I will provide that information if a reply comes before the
end of question time—otherwise, next Tuesday, I presume.
