At the request of Senator Hume, I move:

That the resolution of appointment of the Select Committee on the Cost of Living be amended as follows:

After paragraph (4)(c), insert:

(d) if a member of the committee is unable to attend a meeting of the committee, that member may in writing to the Chair appoint a participating member to act as a substitute member of the committee at that meeting. If the member is incapacitated or unavailable, a letter to the chair appointing a participating member to act as a substitute member of the committee may be signed on behalf of the member by the leader of the party or group on whose nomination the member was appointed to the committee.

Question agreed to.
