I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the following from occurring:

(1) today, if any member draws the attention of the Speaker to the state of the House:

(a) between 12 pm and 12.45 pm, the Speaker shall announce that he will count the House at 12.45 pm, if the Member then so desires; and

(b) between 4.30 pm and 6.15 pm, the Speaker shall announce that he will count the House at 6.15 pm, if the Member then so desires; and

(2) today, any division on a question called for in the House:

(a) between 12 pm and 12.45 pm shall stand deferred until 12.45 pm or immediately after any quorum count at that time if required; and

(b) between 4.30 pm and 6.15 pm shall stand deferred until 6.15 pm or immediately after any quorum count at that time if required.

Question agreed to.
