AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I have already said that the Government will table the Health (Smoking in Enclosed Public Places) Regulations, as is required under the Health Act. Mrs C.L. Edwardes: You should have done it last January. Mr R.C. KUCERA: We have heard about many things today that the member for Kingsley should have done or should not have covered up when she was a minister. However, that is beside the point. Mrs C.L. Edwardes interjected. The SPEAKER: Member for Kingsley! Mr R.C. KUCERA: The member may call it a smoking gun. I have answered this question on a number of occasions. When the Government has considered its position, it will present a copy of the review papers to the Parliament.
