I thank my colleague for that. It has always been the coalition’s position to continue the debate on the CPRS, if we have considered the bills deemed urgent and requested as being urgent by the government. We are facilitating this today. We are very happy to return to the CPRS at any stage when these bills have been finished. We have negotiated with the government, once again, to give up our general business for today to facilitate the urgent bills that the government have requested. We believe progress was made yesterday with those bills. If there is time permitting today and if the government want to go back to the CPRS, we are comfortable with doing that within hours that the Senate sits.
