the Government in reducing potential fraud in the ACT, in accordance with the Auditor-General's recommendations. The ACT cannot be part of the Commonwealth's, States' and Territories' broad prevention strategies without such legislation. I present the explanatory memorandum to the Bill.

MEDICAL TREATMENT BILL 1994
MR MOORE (11.27): I ask for leave to present the Medical Treatment Bill 1994.
Leave granted.
MR MOORE: I present the Medical Treatment Bill 1994.
Title read by Clerk.
MR MOORE: I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
Mr Deputy Speaker, rather than making a presentation speech on this Bill, I indicate that it is a result of the report of the Select Committee on Euthanasia. Part 4 of that report recommends this procedure and sets out the arguments as to why this Bill should be presented to the house for debate. I commend it to the house.
Debate (on motion by Mr Connolly) adjourned.
CONSERVATION, HERITAGE AND ENVIRONMENT -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Inquiry into Smoke-free Areas (Enclosed Public Places) Bill 1993
MR MOORE (11.28): I move:
That the resolution of the Assembly of 23 February 1994, referring the Smoke-free Areas (Enclosed Public Places) Bill 1993 to the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment, be amended by omitting "report by 21 April 1994" and substituting "report by 19 May 1994".
Mr Deputy Speaker, the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment believes that it is appropriate for us to do a full and significant report on this issue and that we would benefit a great deal from an extended reporting date until 19 May. I seek the support of the Assembly for that extension.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
