by leave—All I want to say to Senator Ludwig is that, at the time the temporary orders were put into place, it was always decided that after a trial period it would go back to the Procedure Committee.

It was my intention as the chair to call a Procedure Committee hearing in the first week back anyway to discuss the trial. There is no problem with it being made a reference, but that was the intention as you will see by the following notice of motion where I have moved to continue the trial until such time as we get a chance to review it.
