by leave—I move:

That the remaining formal motions listed at item 9 on today's Order of Business be called on.

I seek leave to make a very short statement.

I just wanted to make sure that the Senate is aware that this has come about because of discussions through the parties in order to facilitate the business as such. I think all parties thank each other for making it happen.
