Move into the Committee of the Whole for a maximum period of 40 minutes to allow for questions to be asked and discussion to be had about the 300 Bloor St. W. lease document recognizing that some questions which may be asked may not be capable of being answered.

In the normal course, an ordinary motion must be passed by a majority of the members of General Synod present and voting together.

Six members of General Synod may, prior to the question being put, require a vote by Orders, with a majority of each Order being necessary to pass.

If a question passes on a Vote by Orders, any six members (two from each of three different dioceses) may immediately before the next item of business require a vote to be taken by dioceses. A motion passes if a majority (or a tie) of dioceses vote in favour.
