At the request of Senator Troeth, I move:

That the Employment, Workplace Relations and Education Committee be authorised to hold a public meeting during the sitting of the Senate on Thursday, 8 February 2007, from 4.30 pm, to take evidence for the committee’s inquiries into the provisions of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2006 and the Employment and Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (Welfare to Work and Vocational Rehabilitation Services) Bill 2006.

Question agreed to.
