Mr. Fitzgerald: I commend Senator Higgins for bringing the Bill before the House. The issues addressed are current in the electricity industry. The proposals the Senator has put forward for a system of regulation, as the Minister pointed out in great detail, are being taken up in ongoing consultations and dealings with the Minister's Department, the commission and the players in the industry. The issue of safety is of paramount importance in any industry, particularly in this industry which differs substantially in the area of safety even from related industries.
