Mr Deputy Speaker, I reluctantly grant leave but point out that the government itself rightly stipulate the program for the day, which states that Mr Wilkie would move that the House take note of the report, the debate be adjourned and Mr Wilkie would then move that the order of the day be referred to the Main Committee. We make the point that it is interesting that government members themselves do not want to follow the program of the manager of government business, but that is obviously a matter for them.
