No, because it was presented within the framework of a point of order. A motion cannot be submitted that way.

Mr. Chair, I don't believe she made a point of order. I think she thought it was an agenda item, because you had agreed to two minutes at the end of the meeting. She didn't say that it was a point of order, but I think Mr. Chong did, because, to get the floor....

Can I understand what happened, Mr. Chair? My understanding was that I had the floor, and then I moved a motion, and then other members had points of order, but there was nobody else who had the floor.

The Chair Liberal Ali Ehsassi
My understanding is that the point of order made by Ms. Bendayan was earlier, before the ambassador spoke, and she did not specifically say that it was a point of order. She was just bringing her motion when she spoke.
