In view of the Leader's comments, does Senator Catherine Ardagh wish to withdraw her amendment?

Comment on this

I will withdraw it on the basis that the Minister will attend the House today.

Comment on this

I cannot guarantee that, as the Minister will be present for two hours to deal with a particular issue, but I will be happy to try to arrange for her to attend either this week or next week.

Comment on this

I thank the Leader. That is perfect.
