Department for Women and Gender Equality Act

Bill to Amend--Second Reading--Debate

November 28, 2024


Hon. Donald Neil Plett (Leader of the Opposition) [ + ]

Honourable senators, I’m rising on debate on Bill S-218.

Clearly, again, we have seen, as evidenced here tonight, that people do not want to move good legislation through the way it should be moved through. The government asks us to do things for it and then doesn’t support us, so I would suggest that we go home for the weekend and see if the government can get their act together and bring us some legislation next week.

Maybe next week, people will adhere to the agreements that were made earlier this week so that we can move legislation forward next week.

I would say we all go home and we contemplate that and come back next week. With that in mind, Your Honour, I move:

That the Senate do now adjourn.

Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?

Hon. Senators: Agreed.

(Motion agreed to.)
