Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration

Speaker’s Ruling

September 26, 2023


The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

Does any other senator wish to add their comments regarding this point of order?

I appreciate the point of order. However, if we have an Order Paper, it is because there is an order of issues that we want to discuss and be efficient in our debates. The current item that we are debating is a motion by Senator Moncion, seconded by Senator Yussuff, for the adoption of the seventh report of the Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration, entitled Senate Budget 2023-24, which was presented in the Senate on February 7, 2023.

Senator Housakos, please focus on this particular issue.

Hon. Leo Housakos [ + ]

Moved:

That the Senate do now adjourn.

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

Honourable senators, it is moved by the Honourable Senator Housakos, seconded by the Honourable Senator Martin, that the Senate do now adjourn.

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

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

All those in favour of the motion will please say “yea.”

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

All those opposed to the motion will please say “nay.”

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

I believe the “nays” have it.

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore

Do we have agreement on a bell? The vote will be at 5:52 p.m.

Call in the senators.
