Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 8 Hansard (28 August) . . Page.. 2582 ..

MS McRAE (11.00): Mr Speaker, I move:

That paragraph (3) of the resolution of the Assembly of 8 April 1997 which appointed the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98 be amended by omitting "27 October 1997" and substituting "11 November 1997".

This motion alters the date on which the Select Committee on Estimates 1997-98 is to report on its consideration of the annual and financial reports for the 1996-97 financial year. It is a self-evident motion which I believe has the agreement of the house. It is simply to give us a little more time to complete our report more thoroughly. I believe it is something that will enhance the work of this Assembly.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR MOORE (11.00): I move:

That:

(1) the Environment Protection Bill 1997 and the Environment Protection (Consequential Provisions) Bill 1997 be referred to the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment for inquiry and report by 6 November 1997;

(2) if the Assembly is not sitting when the Committee has completed its inquiry into the Bills, the Committee may send its Report to the Speaker or, in the absence of the Speaker, to the Deputy Speaker, who is authorised to give directions for its printing, circulation and publication;

(3) on the Committee presenting its report on the Bills to the Assembly, resumption of debate on the question "That this Bill be agreed to in principle" for both the Environment Protection Bill 1997 and the Environment Protection (Consequential Provisions) Bill 1997 be set down as orders of the day for the next sitting;
