Order of Business.
On yesterday's Order of Business, Senator Ulick Burke and others raised the proposed abolition of the Western Development Commission. This is outrageous given the discussions in the House about the importance of focusing on, understanding and developing what is happening in rural areas. What is at issue is that a Minister does not want another competitor in this sector. That is unacceptable, as were the comments made yesterday on the other side of the House. Only for the fact that the contributor is not present, I would deal with the issues as they arose. I would like a discussion in the House on this matter.
