It is my duty to inform hon. members that pursuant to Standing Order 85, an amendment to an opposition motion may be moved only with the consent of the sponsor of the motion. Since the sponsor is not present in the chamber to give his or her consent, in this case his consent, the amendment cannot be moved at this time.
It being 6:15 p.m., it is my duty to interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of the supply proceedings now before the House.
The question is on the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
