I have a point of order. Senator Plett, can you speak on the amendment, please?

Address the Speaker, please, not me.

Your Honour, could Senator Plett address the amendment, please?

Yes, I want to speak on the point of order. I probably, in the last five minutes, used the term “Bill C-234” at least 20 times, Your Honour and colleagues. How am I not speaking to Bill C-234?

Yes, Your Honour. The first 80% of Senator Gold’s speech was about how luminaries around the world say how good the carbon tax is, and not at all about the amendment. Generally, in these speeches, in my history here, I’ve always given some latitude as well to speeches if they are generally on the topic.
