I indicate that—it may shock some people—for once, we will be supporting the government on the suspension. For those only listening, the minister almost fainted.

This is something that I have been involved with for an exceedingly long period of time. It is important that we deal with this today. The 15 minutes is only if we do not get to it by 6.15 pm, according to the motion. While I do not think that 15 minutes is normally reasonable, it will at least allow people to put their opinion on the record and allow us to deal with this; otherwise it will fall off and the disallowance will be in place by default. We do not think that is appropriate. I will certainly have a contribution to make when this comes on for debate, but we do think, as a safety precaution, this motion should proceed.

Question agreed to.
