I think that my verbal amendment is not going to go very far, so I withdraw it, only because I do not think there is a form of words that would satisfy the Senate. Perhaps I could suggest that the onus is now on the government to see if they could accommodate my very reasonable request; otherwise, it may be possible for a fellow colleague to perhaps move to adjourn this debate, but I would rather see an outcome that relies on discussion and negotiation. I am not sure that the minister has something that he could offer us.
