I'd simply like to clarify something, if that can resolve the impasse. I wasn't here during the discussion, but my assistant had the blues. Mr. Easter said at one point that, if committee members were in agreement, he would withdraw his motion and draft another after examining the legal opinion. He therefore withdrew his motion. That's what he said. So the motion he has just put before you was a new motion. If the other was inadmissible, the discussion we're having today is pointless. So the new motion should be able to be heard.
