Business Statement
When the House resumes on Tuesday, 14 March the Government will look to progress the New Zealand Intelligence and Security Bill, the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2016-17, Closely Held Companies, and Remedial Matters) Bill, the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill, and a number of other bills on the Order Paper.
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I understand the Government intends to bring some racing legislation to the House shortly, and I wonder whether the Leader of the House could indicate whether the Government intends to progress that before the election.
The Government is always interested in racing legislation through this House. It is largely up to the Opposition as to exactly what pace that goes atβeither a pace or a gallop. Perhaps, though, with some agreement, we could trot through all of the legislation on the Order Paper.
