MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Wall, for reminding me of my powers. I will use them now—
Mr Wall: I am reminding the Manager of Government Business.
MADAM SPEAKER: and I will remove paragraph 2(b) from the motion and allow the debate to continue. I am removing paragraph 2(b).
Mr Wall: Madam Speaker, I think we may have amended that power when we did our review of standing orders?
MADAM SPEAKER: I am looking at paragraph 9.25 in the companion.
Mr Wall: Yes, the companion is well outdated by our standing order changes. I think that was changed in the standing orders. Perhaps someone can find it before I can. I think you may request a member to amend their motion but you can no longer do that autonomously.
MADAM SPEAKER: I was operating on the advice of the Clerk, but I think there is a will of the Assembly to remove paragraph 2(b) at this point.
Ms Cody: Madam Speaker—
Members interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Ms Cody, please resume your seat. Ms Cody, would you move an amendment to remove paragraph 2(b) so we can—
Mr Wall: So—
MADAM SPEAKER: Please, Mr Wall. I am trying to actually move through this as quickly as we can. Thank you for that correction, Mr Wall. Ms Cody, perhaps you would like—
Ms Cody: Would you like me to rise, Madam Speaker?
MADAM SPEAKER: to move an amendment that removes paragraph 2(b)?
Ms Cody: Yes. Should I do it now? I have already spoken. Do I need to seek leave?
MADAM SPEAKER: You would need to seek leave and then possibly put pen to paper, but you can talk to your amendment while you do that. First, we will call on the Clerk to bring the motion on for debate.
