She mentioned that we could possibly look at a reduction in the supply period, which would be reduced from its current five months. I would welcome that outcome as well. She also mentioned that we may not have the benefit of the budget outcome for the previous year; it may not be available in terms of an earlier budget process. That is something that Assembly members may well wish to keep in mind when we are considering further changes to the process in the future.
In conclusion, Madam Speaker, once again I congratulate Mr Kaine for raising this matter of public importance for debate today. I look forward to further discussion and consultation with Assembly members to bring about, perhaps, a very welcome change in the process for next year.
