I seek leave to amend business of the Senate notice of motion No. 5 standing in my name for today proposing a reference to the Education and Employment References Committee relating to childcare services.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the following matter be referred to the Education and Employment References Committee for inquiry and report by 17 June 2014:

The immediate future of the childcare sector in Australia, with particular reference to:

(a) cost and availability for parents over the short term, including the effectiveness of the current government rebates;

(b) administrative burden, including the impact of the introduction of the National Quality Framework;

(c) the current regulatory environment and the impact on children, educators and service operators;

(d) how the childcare sector can be strengthened in the short term to boost Australia's productivity and workplace participation for parents; and

(e) any related matters.

Question agreed to.
