Mr Chairman, I just want to be clear that, in terms of the first round of discussion, we agreed to this amendment. I listened very carefully to your explanation. My understanding is that this is a technical issue to amend the process so it fits within their rules. Is that right?

The CHAIRMAN: Yes. Yesterday the original amendment was put in the form of the request. After following normal Senate practice, that was changed to an amendment. The message from the House has not agreed to that amendment but put an identical amendment in its place and has now sent that here. I am just clarifying the position of the Senate in dealing with those matters.

Question agreed to.

Resolution reported; report adopted.
