The Speaker
Order, please. We have a little bit of a different situation. I would ask this question: Are there any more people who wish to vote nay on this vote? If there are, I would like them to stand now.
It is rather unusual, but because we are taking a vote one by one, if those who want to vote yea have not already done so, I invite them to do it now.
