by leave—I move opposition amendments (1) and (2) on sheet 7657 together:

(1) Schedule 2, item 14, page 16 (lines 17 to 24), to be opposed.

(2) Schedule 2, item 18, page 21 (lines 13 to 18), section 361.5 to be opposed.

These amendments oppose mandatory minimum sentences for the reasons that Senator Collins outlined during the second reading debate.
