Madam Speaker, the purpose of this amendment really does reflect the earlier budget that we have this year and, in accordance with that earlier budget, the somewhat later presentation of the capital works program. This year, for the first time, the capital works program has been presented not in draft form but in its final form as put forward by the Government. For that reason it is somewhat different from previous years. It does not allow, as we have previously seen, the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee the opportunity to examine the draft capital works program prior to the presentation of the budget. In discussion with some other members, it did appear sensible to ask the Estimates Committee to include the capital works program in its scrutiny rather than run parallel processes for the PDI Committee and the Estimates Committee. I believe that all members are generally in agreement with the motion.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
