Senator MARGETTS(6.50 p.m.) —I would have liked to have had some notice of this. A document which has been tabled only today is of extreme importance, and government documents will not be called on tomorrow. This is a document which many people in the oil industry have been waiting for for a long time, and now it has been produced. I had not seen this proposal until this second. It is not right that at 10 minutes to seven, which is when documents are meant to be produced, we get a motion from the floor. I have heard no discussion to say that we are not going to deal with documents.

This is something which ought to be discussed. The minister should have presented this document today, but that did not happen. It was hidden in documents. I, for one, will not agree to suddenly do this, having been given no notice. I would like to know what the reasons are.
