Just before I put the question, I will clarify for Senator Cormann and other senators. We have been debating the two provisions 74(5)(b) and (c). It is (b) that relates to whether the minister provides an answer, while (c) relates to when the minister fails to provide an answer. So you were correct, Senator Cormann, in your assumption, but you commenced on the wrong section. That is fine now. The question is that the motion moved by Senator Cormann be agreed to.

Question agreed to.
