My question is to the Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister believes his so-called big stick legislation is so important, why has it been removed from the daily program, and when will he put it to a vote in the parliament?

The program is settled by the Leader of the House in consultation with, of course, ministers and with the Parliamentary Liaison Office. The legislation to which the Deputy Leader of the Opposition refers, the divestment bill, is part of that program, and I can confirm that it has not been removed from the Notice Paper.
