CHAMBER BELLS

The SPEAKER (11:03): I have been informed that the bells could not be heard in all parts of the parliament this morning. I understand that the situation is now rectified, but there may be some members not present who did not hear the bells, but it is certainly being looked at.

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (11:03): I was going to report that the bells were not working on the second floor at all.

The SPEAKER: You could not hear them at all?

Mr WILLIAMS: No.

The SPEAKER: Or in the basement and lower level—all areas. So, if anyone is not here they have an excuse for the next five minutes.
