With respect to the questions that have been put to me by members opposite, I am mindful of the fact that we had half an hour allocated for this particular questioning. I am also—in terms of the 10 employment standards from the member for Lindsay—mindful of the fact that we have staff from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as well. They expected to be here for half an hour and in fact one of them has to leave. May I suggest that I take all of the questions on notice, and we will respond to you appropriately.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.

Foreign Affairs and Trade Portfolio

Proposed expenditure, $4,524,405,000
