"content": " Order! Order! Order, Sen. (Dr.) Machage! Senators! Let me guide you a bit. Sen. (Dr.) Machage is withdrawing his amendment. Once a Motion has been proposed, it is the property of the House. So, he can only withdraw it with your leave, and that is why I was stopping him there in order to determine that you have granted that leave. You can only deny him the leave by objecting to it. Since nobody has objected, I take it that the House has granted him leave to withdraw the amendment. Standing Order No.2 (1)(a) states:- ““leave of the Senate” means there being no objection by any Senator, either with the sympathy of the Speaker or with the support of at least two other Senators;” So, we will assume that your Motion has been withdrawn with the leave of the House. This is critical so that you do not just think that it is your own Motion and, therefore, you can withdraw it at any time."
