Point of Order
Speaker’s Ruling
June 3, 2021
The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore
Honourable senators, the applicable rule is 5-13(2), which 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.
A senator, therefore, cannot move the adjournment of the Senate unless already engaged in debate on an item that has been called.
