Before I begin calling Senators on the Order of Business I remind them that the Leader has proposed to take statements on the budget later this afternoon and while I understand the temptation to comment on the budget now, there will be ample opportunity to do so during the statements later on. I ask all Members to remember that and to refrain from commenting now as they can do so later when statements are being taken.
