Senator CAMPBELL (Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer)(6.33 p.m.) —That really reinforces the government's vehement opposition to this amendment, because it would get rid of the words `no regard is to be had to any market considerations'. That is exactly why we so vehemently opposed, with the Democrats' support, the former amendment which would have had the same effect—that is, to ensure that market considerations can all be brought back in.

That is the danger the government sees. The amendment would ensure an expansion, and a discriminatory expansion, because it would discriminate between different operators doing the same thing because of market considerations, such as a contract.
