Honourable senators, in amendment, I move:

That the motion be amended:

1.by replacing the words “at 3 p.m. on” by the words “at the later of 3 p.m. or the start of the Orders of the Day on”;

2.by replacing the words “65 minutes” by the words “45 minutes”; and

3.by replacing the last paragraph by the following:

“That, once the Senate starts sitting on June 14, 2023, committees not meet until the earlier of 5 p.m. or 15 minutes after the adjournment of the Senate, provided that the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs have power to meet as of 5 p.m. if the Senate has not adjourned by that time, with the provisions of rule 12-18(1) being suspended in relation thereto.”.
