MR BERRY: Thank you, Madam Speaker. As members in this chamber would be aware, Ministers bring with them briefs in relation to the range of matters their portfolios cover. If we are to go through the process of requiring those briefs to be tabled each time, well, so be it; that is fine.

Mr Humphries: It is not each time.

MR BERRY: Well, at any time that a Liberal member opposite so chooses. We will be faced with the cumbersome process, each time anybody refers to a piece of paper in this chamber, of the paper being tabled. I suspect that we will end up with a lot of debate about this. We went through this process some time ago and I talked to Mr De Domenico about this issue. If you want to have Ministers - - -

Mr Kaine: Madam Speaker, I move:

Acton Peninsula - Proposed Construction of Hospice

MS ELLIS: Madam Speaker, my question is directed to the Deputy Chief Minister in his capacity as Minister for Health. The Canberra Business Council claims that the construction of the hospice on Acton Peninsula pre-empts public consultation. Is this true?
