I rise to support the statement made by the Speaker, and I'm sure the opposition would join me. Having been involved through my office in facilitating the requested advice being made available to you and the President of the Senate, I can confirm absolutely—not that it requires, I suppose, anything from me to confirm the statements of the Speaker—on behalf of the government that the advice you have received and that you've referred is entirely as you stated it.
