A letter has been received from Senator Canavan:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:

Labor's heavy-handed market interventions, destructive industrial relations changes and secretive environmental protection and biodiversity conservation reforms are creating massive uncertainty in energy markets that Australians will pay for through higher prices and loss of industrial jobs.

Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

With the concurrence of the Senate, the clerks will set the clock in line with the informal arrangements made by the whips.
