Sorry, but I think this exchange makes my point. I want to signal to the House that it was the Government's decision earlier today. I mean we received notice last night but the Government had proposed to wrap up this legislation. That is not good enough and I appeal to the Leader not to wrap up business. The Leader and other Senators spent time here yesterday advocating for this Bill regarding an issue of grave concern to our city and county councillors, and it is constantly changing. I am glad that common sense has prevailed and this very important Bill will not be guillotined. A guillotine had been proposed as per the last version of the Order of Business that I read but the situation has changed and I take that on board. The Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill is extremely important. Some Members on both sides of the House have difficulties with the Bill. I thank the Leader for her intervention and change of heart, or somebody's change of heart. I look forward to engaging this afternoon, on behalf of city and county councillors, on this very important Bill where commitments have been given on all sides of the House.
