The Senate
Motion to Refer to Committee Adopted
March 1, 2022
Honourable senators, we are resuming debate on Senator Tannas’s motion to refer the motion to the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.
Honourable senators, I apologize. Due to my misunderstanding and a lack of communication on my part, I thought that the chamber was not ready to vote on my motion. So we pressed forward with the adjournment. I recognize I cost this chamber an hour of precious time. I won’t waste any more of it, but I want to apologize.
If you are opposed to the motion, please say “no.”
I hear a “no.” Those in favour of the motion will please say “yea.”
All those who are opposed to the motion will please say “nay.”
I believe the yeas have it. I see two senators rising.
Did I hear you say one hour, Senator Plett?
Yes, you did.
The vote will take place at 8:02. Call in the senators.
