It is not general practice, but the motion is being circulated. Mr. Dent's motion basically said "Mr. Chairman, I move that we defer further discussion on the 1994-95 main estimates of the Department of Health, at this time". That is the principle of the motion. I think we are ready for question here, are we? Are we ready for question?
