MR HANSON: Do I need to move it first?
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes.
Mr Corbell: Madam Speaker, we do not have a copy of that motion.
MADAM SPEAKER: I think the attendants are running around with it. Sorry, I got ahead of myself because I had a copy of the motion. Sorry—IAW?
MR HANSON: In accordance with.
MADAM SPEAKER: Okay; shorthand.
Mr Barr: We are into acronyms, are we? What a joke!
MADAM SPEAKER: Has everyone got a copy of the motion? I call Mr Hanson.
Mr Corbell: Point of order, Madam Speaker.
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes, what is the point of order?
Mr Corbell: Madam Speaker, I seek your guidance on what “IAW” means. The motion has to be in a proper form, as you would appreciate, Madam Speaker. I do not know what IAW means at the beginning of this but it would appear that—
MADAM SPEAKER: First of all, there is not a motion that has been moved. So you cannot take a point of order.
Mr Corbell: I am asking you to rule, Madam Speaker, whether the motion—
MADAM SPEAKER: I have nothing to rule on because there is nothing moved. If you would like to sit down, Mr Corbell, Mr Hanson can move it. Then you can take your point of order but, at this stage, I have nothing before me except something which is a piece of paper. It does not have standing at the moment.
Mr Corbell: Madam Speaker, can I seek your guidance once Mr Hanson moves the motion?
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes.
Mr Corbell: Thank you, Madam Speaker.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Hanson.
MR HANSON: On a point of clarification, Madam Speaker—
MADAM SPEAKER: Please, would you like to move the motion?
