Hon. Lucie Moncion [ + ]

Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:

That Bill C-234 be not now read a third time, but that it be amended, in clause 2,

(a) on page 2, by replacing lines 24 to 37 with the following:

“of the day on which this Act comes into force.”;

(b) on page 3, by deleting lines 1 to 9.

Thank you.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

In amendment, it was moved by the Honourable Senator Moncion, seconded by the Honourable Senator Dupuis, that Bill C-234 be not read a third time, but that it be amended in clause 2(a) on page 2 by replacing lines 24 to 37 with the following —

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

I will repeat. (a) on page 2, by replacing lines — may I dispense?

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

On debate, senator — honestly, Senator Clement?

Hon. Bernadette Clement [ + ]

Was it a question?

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

It is on debate.

I have a question.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

Leave to permit questions? Usually after an amendment we go on debate.

Senator Clement [ + ]

Okay.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

Is there leave to allow questions?

Will you take a question, Senator Moncion?

Senator Moncion [ + ]

Yes, I will.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

Senator Wells, do you have a question?

Hon. David M. Wells [ + ]

No, I was going to go on debate.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

Senator Clement, you have a question?

Senator Clement [ + ]

I do not.

Senator Moncion, there was an amendment that I believe was similar to this that was proposed at the Agriculture Committee at clause by clause and it was defeated. Is this the same amendment?

Senator Moncion [ + ]

I believe that it is similar.

Senator Clement [ + ]

Your honour, I move adjournment of the debate.

Hon. Donald Neil Plett [ + ]

On debate.

The Hon. the Speaker [ + ]

I recognized Senator Clement.

It is moved by Senator Clement, seconded by Honourable Senator Petitclerc, that further debate be adjourned until the next sitting of the Senate. Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?
