I request that the minister table all these representations in the Assembly. I also request that the minister provide to the Assembly all the advice he received from ACTPLA and other government agencies about the bill and the earlier version of the bill, the Building (Energy Efficient Hot Water Systems) Legislation Amendment Bill 2009. Additionally, given the answer to my question about the commentary on the changes to the BCA, could I receive copies of the written commentary that ACTPLA provided on that matter to the Building Codes Board?
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Children and Young People, Minister for Planning and Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation): I will take that as a question on notice. It would certainly be helpful if Ms Le Couteur would put that in writing and then I will happily respond to it as a question on notice. That might be the best way to proceed with that level of information. It is not a question; it is a strange request.
MS LE COUTEUR (Molonglo): I will happily put it in writing.
