STANDING COMMITTEE ON
PROCEDURE AND PRIVILEGES — FIFTY-EIGHTH REPORT —LEADER OF THE
HOUSE'S NOTES
1213. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House:
I refer to the Leader of the House's
contribution a few minutes ago to the debate on the fifty-eighth report.
(1) Who prepared and supplied to
the Leader of the House the notes from which she read?
(2) I call upon the Leader of the House
to table the notes; and, if she refuses, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(2) I
received notes to assist me, but I made substantive changes to those notes, I have
to say. I have no intention of tabling them and that is because they were
provided to me in confidence.
Hon Michael Mischin interjected.
The PRESIDENT : Order!
Member, order! Member, you know you ask a question, the minister has replied
and that is it.
