Corrections (Contract Management of Prisons) Amendment Bill

I seek leave for Part 2 and clauses 1, 2, and 3 to be taken as one debate, with all the arrangements that previously existed for speaking times; for the debate from this point to be a wide-ranging debate across the full scope of the bill; and for two questions to be posed upon closure of the debate so that we vote on the provisions consecutively. In the meantime, let us debate freely the matters covered in this bill.

The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is no objection. I remind members what this means. We will debate Part 2, which comprises clauses 7 and 8 and the schedule, and clauses 1, 2, and 3. This will be a wide-ranging debate. As agreed earlier today, members may take two consecutive calls of 5 minutes each in order to make a 10-minute call—that is what we have agreed to. Are we all comfortable with that? Very good.

Part 2, schedule, and clauses 1 to 3
