Adjournment
Motion No. 168 Adopted
May 2, 2024
Pursuant to notice of May 1, 2024, moved:
That, when the Senate next adjourns after the adoption of this motion, it do stand adjourned until Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at 2 p.m.
Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?
Hon. Senators: Agreed.
(Motion agreed to.)
Senate public bills.
I’d like to move the adjournment of the Senate.
Is leave granted, honourable senators?
Leave is not granted.
Your Honour, I think that if there is a motion, you need to ask for a vote. Leave might not be granted, but we would certainly like to have a vote on this.
I didn’t hear any — I only heard —
Well, yes, you did say we granted leave, and you simply heard no leave.
I asked, and I only heard noes.
Your Honour, you asked if leave was granted, which means unanimous —
Rule 5-13(2) reads as follows:
A motion to adjourn the Senate may only be moved by a Senator who is recognized to speak in a debate, and may not be moved on a point of order.
I didn’t rise on a point of order. I rose on an item. I never said I was rising on a point of order. I never rose on a point of order.
May I ask which item?
It was the item on the report, Your Honour, that the clerk was going through. As soon as you go through the items for debate — it was clause 1, item 1, section 1. It is Other Business. I can easily ask for the adjournment of the Senate.
Was that No. 1, Other Business?
Correct.
That has not been moved for debate. It is Senator Cardozo’s item.
Senate public bills, third reading. No. 1, Bill S-244.
