The Senate
Motion in Amendment
June 18, 2020
Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:
That the motion be not now adopted, but that it be amended:
1.by replacing the words “following the adoption of” with “provided for in”; and
2.by adding, after the words “systemic racism;”, the following new paragraph:
“That the sitting day provided for in this order be the earlier of the following:
(a)the first sitting day that follows the adjournment of the third successive sitting of the Senate with a daily attendance of at least 60 senators that follows the adoption of this order; or
(b)the first sitting day on which senators are permitted to participate in the proceedings of the Senate by video or teleconference;”.
It was moved by the Honourable Senator R. Black (Ontario), seconded by the Honourable Senator Verner, that the motion be not now adopted but that it be amended — may I dispense?
Are senators ready for the question?
I would like to take adjournment of debate.
Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?
All those in favour of the motion will please say “yea.”
All those opposed, please say “nay.”
In my opinion, the “nays” have it.
Do we have agreement on the bell?
The vote will take place at 5:18. Call in the senators.
