The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Green to general business notice of motion No. 366, standing in the name of Senator McKenzie, be agreed to. A division being required, it is deferred until another day.

Order! Senator McKim, I have called for order. The question is that the amendment as moved by Senator Green to general business notice of motion No. 367, standing in the name of Senator McKenzie, be agreed to. A division being required, we will defer that until another day.
