3:13 pm

I move:

That leave of absence for the remainder of the current period of sittings be given to the honourable member for Fowler on the grounds of ill health.

Question agreed to.

Tony Smith

Tony Smith Speaker

Can I say briefly that all of our thoughts are with the member for Fowler for as swift a recovery as he can make. I thank the Manager of Opposition Business and the Leader of the House for informing me very early this morning of his accident.
