I am not remotely offended. My concern is the fact that the same pair of hands that goes through the 500 submissions is the only pair of hands that got a hold of the Bill. That Bill came back with an instruction to kick it out and that is what the Government did. That Bill is officially before the House. What was voted on was that the Bill not be read a Second Time for a period of three months from the day in question. Mr. O'Leary has been very helpful to me in the past but I feel he has inadvertently exposed the Department's failings and process failings in that this was never going to happen.
