Business of Committee.
I welcome the Minister for Public Enterprise. I suggest we discuss Committee Stage of the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Bill until 4.30 p.m. Is that agreed? Agreed. This committee is scheduled to reconvene on Thursday, 22 January at 10 a.m. to discuss Committee Stage of the Turf Development Bill. If the committee agrees, we could continue our discussion of this Bill instead of dealing with a new Bill.

I do not wish to obstruct the committee's work but I cannot be here on Thursday because of two family bereavements.

I am free but I accept the Opposition spokesperson's reason for not being able to attend. Provision should be made for such events.

We will make a provisional arrangement for Tuesday, 27 January at 2 o'clock, subject to the Minister's availability. Will we discuss the Turf Development Bill which was scheduled for Thursday?

That would mean discussing two Bills contemporaneously. Perhaps it would be better to conclude our discussion on one Bill before dealing with another.
