At the request of the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services, Senator Chapman, I move:

That the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services be authorised to hold a public meeting during the sitting of the Senate on Tuesday, 13 June 2006, from 5 pm to 8 pm, to take evidence for the committee’s inquiry into the statutory oversight of the operations of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Question agreed to.
