I ask that 815, 816 and 817 be moved together and that 818 be moved separately.

At the request of Senator Henderson, I move general business notices of motion Nos 815, 816 and 817 together:

Sue Lines

The question is that general business notices of motion Nos 815, 816 and 817 standing in the name of Senator Henderson and moved by Senator Kovacic be agreed to.

This is the question as put in the chamber, with the name of the member who spoke before the vote. It isn't a summary of the bill or motion.
