When this motion was put but withdrawn yesterday, I outlined the reasons why the government was not minded to support it, principal among which is that the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties is established for a particular purpose and we think that that committee should be allowed to do its jobs. I indicate that the government opposes the motion but we will not be calling for a division.

Question agreed to.
