Criminal Code
Motion in Amendment--Debate Adjourned
November 21, 2023
Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:
That Bill C-48, as amended, be not now read a third time, but that it be further amended in clause 1 (as amended by the decision of the Senate on October 26, 2023), on page 3, by replacing lines 11 to 13 with the following:
“cused has, within five years of the day on which they were charged for that offence, been previously convicted of or been serving a sentence of imprisonment for another offence in the commission of which vio-”.
In amendment, it was moved by the Honourable Senator Carignan, seconded by the Honourable Senator Seidman, that Bill C-48, as amended, be not now read a third time, but that it be further amended in clause 1 as amended by the decision —
Dispense?
Would the senator take a question?
I’d be happy to take a question, but I’ve already moved my amendment, and the Rules state that my time is up, so I can’t extend my time.
Senator Carignan, I’ll just say that we have been fairly flexible about that practice, so would you take a question?
I imagine it would require unanimous consent, but I won’t consent given that Senator Gold is the one who wants to ask me a question.
Do we have unanimous consent for the senator to take a question?
No, I don’t consent.
Sorry, I misunderstood. Okay.
