adjournment of debate

adjournment of debate

With those opening remarks, honourable senators, I would like to adjourn further debate for the rest of my time at a future sitting.

(a) for an amendment or a subamendment; (b) to refer a question under debate to a committee; (c) to adjourn the consideration of a question to a certain day; (d) for the previous question; (e) to read the Orders of the Day; (f) to adjourn the Senate, except in the case of an emergency debate; (g) to adjourn a debate; (h) to consider a Commons amendment to a public bill, either immediately or at a later time; (i) to appoint or to order a committee to prepare the Senate’s reasons for disagreeing with a Commons amendment to a public bill; (j) to introduce and give the first reading to a bill; (k) to postpone, ...[+++]discharge or revive an order of the day; (l) to consider at a future sitting any document that is on the table; (m) to table papers, when proposed by the Leader of the Government or another Senator who is a minister; (n) to reconsider, while a bill is under consideration, any element of the bill already agreed to; (o) to resolve the Senate into a Committee of the Whole; or (p) that is of a merely formal or uncontentious character.

In fact, on June 11, 1987, at page 7001 of Debates, Mr. Mazankowski, in giving notice of his intention to move time allocation, stated: “I give notice that I will be moving at a later sitting.that four hours, the equivalent to one day’s sitting, shall be allotted to the further consideration of report stage of the bill and four hours shall be allotted to the third reading stage”.

We would have no objection to one item or other being deferred to a later sitting, but our motion at this instant is that we devote the entire morning to the substance of the renamed debate to give us enough time to discuss the issue.
