Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I mean no disrespect to Senator Bartlett, but it seems to me that we are having this debate at the wrong point. If senators followed the red they would see that this resolution relates to the sitting times in order to allow senators to attend the lunch. I think what we are having is a concern about the message which comes under item 7 on the red regarding the resolution carried by the House of Representatives regarding the invitation. I would just bring that to your attention, Mr President. It seems to me that we are going around in circles on the wrong issue.
