I move:

That these bills may proceed without formalities, may be taken together and be now read a first time.

Mr President, the Greens will be asking that the question be put separately on the second procedural motion that these bills be taken together. We do not seek to have them taken together.

I will put the question in respect of each of the bills separately—that they proceed without formalities, be taken together and be read a first time.

Mr President, the Greens ask that you put the questions separately. We do not support them being taken together.

That is what I am doing. The question is that these bills may proceed without formalities.

Question agreed to.

The question is that the bills now be taken together.

Mr President, I seek leave to make a short statement.

Can I clarify something first?

Yes, you may. It might help us all.
