I accept the Order of Business and note the Leader's comments regarding time. If Senators were given more time to discuss our Bill, we would have taken Report and Final Stages next week. I am sure the Leader chose not to accede to the request. As such, he is partly responsible for Committee and Remaining Stages being taken together. We have no choice in the matter.
