Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I know you have already been addressed on the subject of standing order 86. As I understand your ruling, if standing orders are suspended then standing order 86 is also suspended and provides, therefore, no limitation on the capacity of the Senate to discuss the substantive motion. If I understood you correctly, that was your ruling before.
