It is not a point of order but it is reassuring. We hope that they put the grease on the wheels in the Senate and punch this one right through. This bill does underpin the forward changes in this industry—greener cars, new export opportunities and new products for the domestic market. The future of this industry does lie in our ability to innovate, to become globally competitive and to adapt to new consumer demands. This bill is an important part of the government’s strategy to achieve just that, and I commend it to the House.
