It is proposed to take Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and if No. 2 has not been concluded by 5 o'clock to interrupt business at that stage to take the motion.
Order of Business.
I welcome the commitment from the Leader of the House to have the motion taken. We were rather unfortunate at our last sitting because business precluded it from being taken. We might adopt that method in future when a motion has been agreed to be taken and we might refer this matter to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. If possible and in fairness to the Members who wish to move a motion a special time should be set, irrespective of what happens on the day, so that they would know then that their motion would be taken that day and not the following week. I welcome the commitment of the Leader of the House today.
I think Senator Ferris is merely expressing a view about a desirable course of action in the future. Certainly I note that suggestion.
Order of Business agreed to.
