Roy Eric: Mixed Ownership Model Bill — In Committee 
[Sitting date: 20 June 2012. Volume:681;Page:3191. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.] 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Members there have been two new parts tabled both in the name of the Hon Trevor Mallard. I have to inform the Committee that the Hon Trevor Mallard’s amendment to insert a new Part 3 as set out on Supplementary Order Paper 56 is out of order as that amendment pertained to Part 2 and should have been associated with and debated at that point. The second amendment to insert a new Part 3 a typescript amendment providing that sections 3 to 18 have no effect until a citizens initiated referendum is dealt with and providing for a power to suspend sections 3 to 18 depending on the outcome of the citizens initiated referendum is out of order because that amendment should have been voted on and associated with Parts 1 and 2 at that time. So the question now is— 
Chris Hipkins 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I think you have missed one of the sets of amendments that were tabled in my name which also inserted a new Part 3. I appreciate that there have been a number of amendments. I have got copies here if you want to have them but they certainly have been tabled. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I have to inform the member that the clerk has informed me that it has not been lodged. 
Chris Hipkins 
: Well it was placed on the Table. I have got additional copies. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: The member I think knows that six copies have to be presented to the clerk. 
Chris Hipkins 
: And I can certainly assure the Committee that the copies have been tabled. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Just to clarify when you say “tabled” were six copies presented to the clerk? 
Chris Hipkins 
: I understand that they were certainly part of the various bundles that have been tabled. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: We have been very very carful to not make any mistakes. I have already made one which I went back on tonight in relation to the reading. I have no record of the amendment. 
Hon Clayton Cosgrove 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I was the person who put the bundle of amendments with the clerk and they have been checked. I am not questioning the clerk’s word at all. There is nothing underhand in that respect but I am very sure that they were contained—the Minister in the chair the Minister for State Owned Enterprises can shake his head but I am addressing the Chair—within that bundle. So it was somewhere between their being presented and coming back into the Chamber. That is my honest view. I was the one who placed them on the Table. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Can members take a moment while we just check that. 
Chris Hipkins 
: One of the things we did in addition to presenting a whole lot of amendments to the clerk was I then presented a summary bundle of all of those amendments to the clerk to help them basically in their compilation of them which is that one. It may be that the amendment to insert additional Part 3 was not in the bundle I gave them. 
Hon Dr Nick Smith 
: Oh! 
Chris Hipkins 
: Well I did not have to give them the bundle. I gave them the bundle to be helpful. But I can assure you that it would have been in the large bundle that was presented. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: I accept the member’s word that he has tabled them. 
Chris Hipkins 
: I have got copies if you would like to see them. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: Could I just have a quick look please. I have had a brief look and my assessment is that the amendment does pertain to Part 1 of the bill and in that regard it is out of order. If there has been some mess-up in what have been a few reams of paper I do apologise. I accept the member’s word that he did table it but it is out of order in that regard. 
Chris Hipkins 
: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Can I acknowledge that and can I also acknowledge the work of the clerks. There is certainly not a criticism of the clerks or of you. I am sure there was a mistake somewhere but it was unintentional on all sides. So there is certainly no suggestion that there has been any inappropriate behaviour. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: That is fine and that is why I accept the member’s word. So we move to the debate on schedule 1 and the question is that schedule 1 stand part. Is some member seeking the call? [ 
Interruption 
] There is no debate. Sorry. We are on the schedule. My apologies— 
Hon Member 
: The olden days. 
The CHAIRPERSON (Eric Roy) 
: That is the olden days. Let me just refresh your minds for new members that when we debated the parts that included schedules 1 and 2. So now that we have got that straight I will put the question.
