The vote on the Order of Business this morning was on our desire to see the report prior to the debate. That did not prohibit the Minister taking it to the Cabinet to allow it to be released here to Senators.

On a note of real caution, the Minister is bringing the legislation through this House and has said clearly he has not read the report that came from GRECO. I am very disappointed that a report by our European partners, a group that is against corruption, has not been read by the Minister, which report would have an influence on his amendments to this legislation. He is asking us to take everything on trust, yet he has not read anything.
