Senator IAN CAMPBELL (Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (9:38 AM) —by leave—Having looked at the program, I think it is very doable by dinnertime, quite frankly. If there is a perception in people's minds that we are going to sit until 11.00 p.m. or 11.30p.m., we could perhaps talk until then. I am sure that we are all very capable of doing that. On my assessment of the program, and in talking around the chamber, I think it is entirely doable by four or five o'clock this afternoon, if there is goodwill around the place. That is my expectation and that is my hope, and I make a plea to all colleagues around the chamber that we should seek to try to get out of here by dinnertime. This is a contingency.
