I wish to raise a point of order. Earlier I asked the Leader how much time would be allocated in respect of No. 1 and he indicated that the latter is not being taken. I do not believe that is what he meant to say and I wish to get the record straight. I wish to make a contribution in respect of No. 1. I understand that No. 1 is a proposal to withdraw a previous motion. In other words, we are being asked to pass a motion to withdraw a previous one. Will the Leader clarify the position on that so that the House will be aware of what is taking place? When I put my question to the Leader, he indicated that the House would not be taking No. 1. However, I believe he meant that we are taking No. 1 and that this will, in effect, nullify something previously put to the House. Will the Leader clarify the position?
