Clause 59 is to be amended by omitting the existing clause on employment streams as the division of the service into employment streams is no longer required, as I just explained. A new clause 59 will be created by inserting the immediately preceding two subclauses 58(5) and (6) under a new heading called "Application of subsection 58(2) to ACT Electricity and Water Authority and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions". Again, this will save a lot of renumbering in the Bill. The effect of the new clause 59 is that ACTEW and the DPP may reclassify their positions without reference to the Commissioner for Public Administration. It reflects the powers that have been conferred on the CEO of both of those bodies. I commend those amendments to the Assembly.
Amendments agreed to.
Clauses, as amended, agreed to.
MR LAMONT (Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Housing and Community Services, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (5.12): Madam Speaker, I seek a short suspension, probably for two minutes.
MADAM SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to accept that?
Mr De Domenico: Yes.
Mr Stevenson: I have no idea. I suppose so.
MR LAMONT: It is to enable us to inform you, Mr Stevenson, of a process that may expedite proceedings.
Mr Stevenson: Normally one mentions this before But go to it; you have the numbers.
MR LAMONT: I had intended to come to you because I knew that you did not have the numbers.
Sitting suspended from 5.12 to 5.18 pm
MR LAMONT (Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Housing and Community Services, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (5.18): Madam Speaker, I have a procedural proposal. We need to deal with clauses 63, 65 and 68 separately. At the conclusion of consideration of clause 68, we then take clause 70 and all subsequent amendments through to clause 234 inclusive. We treat them as a whole. Then we deal with clauses 235, 236, 237, 238 and 239, and then take clause 244 and go through to the end of Schedule 4 as a whole, as well.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Lamont, what about clause 64? You mentioned clauses 63, 65 and 68. We have clause 64 on the schedule. Did you mean to include it?
MR LAMONT: Yes.
