Business of the Senate
September 28, 2026
Your Honour, could you provide me with clarification on something? In my time here, I have always understood that when a minister appears for Question Period, any question is allowed. However, with respect to when a minister appears before the Committee of the Whole on a specific bill — as is happening in a few days with the Minister of Finance regarding Bill C-38, I believe — could you advise me on whether questions are allowed on topics other than that bill when the minister is here? If so, I have some questions for the Minister of Finance that have nothing to do with that bill.
Might you have an answer now? If not, could you please advise us before we have the Committee of the Whole?
Would any other senators like to intervene? If not, I will take the question under advisement. Thank you.
Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-13(2), I move:
That the Senate do now adjourn.
The Hon. the Speaker: Is leave granted, honourable senators?
Hon. Senators: Agreed.
