I would like to make a statement explaining my reasons for denying leave. As Senator Heffernan and everybody in this chamber should know, it has long been the rule that incorporation of speeches will not occur except in the situation of the illness of a senator or of valedictory speeches. However, I am sure if Senator Heffernan wanted to seek leave to continue his remarks he could continue his remarks when the report comes onto the red as a document for debate.
