I raise a point of order, Madam Chairperson. There is slight confusion here. You put the vote and there was a voice call. There was a call in favour and there was a call opposed. It appears now that some of those opposing may have changed their vote.

This is an amendment that the Government has agreed to support. It is one of Christopher Finlayson’s amendments. There was a voice call on our side where the person may not have understood that we are supporting this amendment, and we will be voting for it.
