¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Prime Minister has just tabled proposals under the Welfare Benefits Act. We have no issue with that, Hon. Prime Minister. However, it is being tabled this morning and taken to Committee this afternoon. In future, if possible, please allow some time so that we can study the paper before it is taken to Committee.
