Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).
Senators should be given far more backup facilities than is the case at present. I inquired in the clerk's office yesterday about putting together a Private Members' Bill, but was informed that no backup was available. It is not fair that I should have to do it myself and that I should have to get my party to provide legal advice. We are in opposition and do not have the benefits of legal advice and a huge Civil Service.
