I have received a message from the Senate informing the House of a resolution of the Senate referring the following additional matter to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services.

The message read as follows—

The committee will investigate the involvement of the banking and finance industry in providing finance for investors in and through Storm Financial, Opes Prime and other similar businesses, and the practices of banks and other financial institutions in relation to margin lending associated with those businesses.
