Before the hon. the government House leader goes on, I want to indicate that I am prepared to hear his arguments on this, but I have grave doubts that it is now in order to hear further argument, when this matter has come to a vote in the House and the vote has simply been deferred. It is most unusual, it seems to me, to have arguments about the procedural admissibility of the motion when the motion has been put to the House and the House has declared itself on it, but has deferred the actual vote taking.
I will hear the hon. government House leader, but I wish to make sure that caveat is firmly in his mind.
