The Mover is not in the House. Has anyone been delegated the responsibility to undertake? Hon. Senators, we are in some kind of situation. Without the Mover and the Seconder, we may lose this and we do not want to lose it. Therefore we are working around it to see how to save the Bill. Otherwise, if it is dropped that means that it will take another six months for it to be brought back.

That is a good observation, Senator. I was in the House when that matter was raised by the Majority Chief Whip. However, we want to be optimistic and give it some benefit of doubt. We will carry out consultations and talk to the whips so that we give it one last chance. So, we will save it but according to the Standing Orders as we move to the next.

Quite definitely, Senator. That is why we will save it and have extensive consultations from the Mover, Seconder and other Senators including both Majority and Minority leaders and the Chief Whips.
