Executive Council's Version Of Consensus Government Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express a real concern that I have about the current Executive Council's version of consensus government.

Question O72-12(2): Status Of Beatty Report That is refreshing, Mr. Speaker, to hear that it is not a shelved report. I would like to ask the Government Leader, since work is involved, then, and three ordinary Members have, in fact, been chosen by a motion of this House to do this work, when do they get involved? The thr

Question O64-l2(2): Wording Of Plebiscite Question Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister for constitutional development explain to the House what the process is, since it seems to be a complex one? Exactly what is the process that arrives eventually at a completed plebiscite question?
