The Hon. the Speaker: I am sorry to interrupt you.

Honourable senators, it is now six o’clock, and pursuant to rule 3-3(1), I am obliged to leave the chair until eight o’clock when we resume unless it is your wish, honourable senators, to not see the clock. Is it agreed to not see the clock?

Hon. Donald Neil Plett (Leader of the Opposition): Madam Speaker, I see that I am at the end of my time on this as well. So with the leave of the Senate I would like to reset the clock for the balance of my time.
