Hon. Mary Jane McCallum: Thank you, Your Honour.

I move adjournment of the Senate.

Hon. Senators: Question.

The Hon. the Speaker: Senator McCallum?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Are honourable senators ready for the question?

The Hon. the Speaker: Is leave granted, honourable senators?

The Hon. the Speaker: All those in favour of the motion please say “yea.”

Some Hon. Senators: Yea.

Some Hon. Senators: No.

Some Hon. Senators: Nay.

Some Hon. Senators: One hour.

Some Hon. Senators: Ten minutes.

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: The motion is defeated.

(Motion in amendment of the Honourable Senator McCallum negatived, on division.)

On the Order:

Resuming debate on the motion of the Honourable Senator Loffreda, seconded by the Honourable Senator Sorensen, for the third reading of Bill C-32, An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 3, 2022 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 7, 2022.

Hon. Raymonde Gagné (Legislative Deputy to the Government Representative in the Senate): Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-5(g), I move:

That, when the Senate next adjourns after the adoption of this motion, it do stand adjourned until Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at 2 p.m.

The Hon. the Speaker: Normally, you would be correct, Senator Moncion; however, once debate has started on a topic, and I call upon a senator, I’m calling upon them on debate.

Rule 5-13(2) would apply. She would be on debate and, as a consequence, can move the amendment.

Do we have a seconder for the amendment?

The Hon. the Speaker: On adjournment as well.

Are senators ready for the question on the main motion?

The Hon. the Speaker: Do we have agreement on a bell?

The Hon. the Speaker: Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: All those opposed, please say “nay.”

Hon. Raymonde Gagné (Legislative Deputy to the Government Representative in the Senate): Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-5(j), I move:

That the sitting be suspended to await the announcement of Royal Assent, to reassemble at the call of the chair with a five-minute bell.
