I think Senator Polley was in fact rising on a point of order rather than to seek the call. I rise on the same point of order. A withdrawal, conventionally, in this place is unconditional. You asked Senator Whish-Wilson to withdraw, and he has given you a conditional withdrawal. I don't think that's consistent with the practices in our chamber.
