Adjournment

Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:

That the motion be not now adopted, but that it be amended by adding the words “the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology and” before the words “committees of the Senate scheduled to meet on that day” in the last paragraph.

He said: Honourable senators, although the text of the motion is somewhat technical, the goal is to allow the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology to meet on Monday, after 6 p.m., to complete its study of Bill C-225. Since the committee does not usually meet on Mondays, the text of the adjournment motion, as originally drafted, would not allow the committee to meet on Monday. However, Senator Moodie informed me that the rooms are booked and that all members of the committee are willing to proceed and finish the study of Bill C-225.
