I think Senator Landy said that where there is a will there is a relative, which is my view. I rarely comment on matters to which the Leader responds.

I understand the point made cogently by Senator McDowell was that the Bill that is returning to the House next week has already passed all Stages in this House and is being recommitted to us. There is limited scope for amendments. I am not saying there is limited scope for debate. However, as I understand the rules and regulations, subject to being corrected, while we are not entirely in a straitjacket, there is limited room for the House to table amendments. We are somewhat, but not entirely, curtailed. I understand that is the point he made. We will sit next week. I will not pre-empt the debate or what might happen next Tuesday.
