Senator Cummins called for a debate on suicide and Reach Out. I have no difficulty in allocating time for this.

Senator Callely called for a debate on the economy with the Minister for Finance present. I intend to have a wide-ranging debate on this issue, which was called for last week. Senator Callely has now been appointed as spokesperson on the Government side for enterprise, trade and employment. I have no difficulty in requesting the Minister for Finance to come to the House to update us on the current state of the economy.
