In what is becoming a bit of a tradition, 'His Excellency' needs to be 'Her Excellency' – but we can alter that without needing a vote :P

By a majority of 5-0, this act passes, with only the honourable members KaiserAdolf and Hypothetical Genuis abstaining, all others voting aye.

The gramatical error noted above will be rectified shortly.
