I had indicated earlier that I was not going to speak but I just want to add my voice to those of my colleagues who have suggested that it is very bad parliamentary practice to introduce significant Government amendments very late in the day and then, without giving us time to consider them properly and table our own amendments, ram a Bill through over the course of five and a half hours. I assure the Leader that it will be the same two or three people who are engaging on every Bill in this House. This is just wrong, unfair and sloppy, and I completely oppose it. I will be voting with my colleagues on the proposed amendment to the Order of Business.
