I welcome the Minister of State to the House.Before proceeding to talk briefly about Senator Moynihan’s amendment, I wish to thank the Bills Office. What an enormous task it has and it is under enormous pressure. If one looks at the legislation coming through both Houses and, in particular, how we will have to turn this legislation around for next week, I wish to acknowledge the enormous work of that office and the time pressures it is under.

This is important legislation and I am not going to dwell. It is important that we get through this business as quickly as we can. We all know the importance of affordable housing. I endorse Senator Moynihan’s proposal. It is an important one and it is important that we in these Houses are continually vigilant and aware of what is going on in relation to this legislation.
