Some Hon. Senators: Dispense.

An Hon. Senator: Dispense.

The Hon. the Speaker: I will repeat. (a) on page 2, by replacing lines — may I dispense?

The Hon. the Speaker: On debate, senator — honestly, Senator Clement?

The Hon. the Speaker: Thank you. The vote will take place at 5:03. Call in the senators.

An Hon. Senator: Not if we haven’t finished debate.

The Hon. the Speaker: Order. There are two senators rising. Do we have agreement on the bell?

An Hon. Senator: You have the right to debate.

An Hon. Senator: You’ve already said the “nays” have it.

Some Hon. Senators: Yea.

The Hon. the Speaker: She has adjourned the debate.

The Hon. the Speaker: I think the “nays” have it.

The Hon. the Speaker: No. I can hear the arguments.

The Hon. the Speaker: Senator Wells, you were not actually — you interpreted my — reading my mind. But I must say that I did remember your name. I recognized Senator Clement, and she has the right to adjourn the debate.

Hon. David M. Wells: It is on the point of order, unless you’ve ruled on the point of order.

The Hon. the Speaker: Do you have a point of order?

The Hon. the Speaker: They both got up at the same time.

The Hon. the Speaker: I will say that I did recognize, first of all, Senator Clement. She was going to adjourn debate. But I recognized Senator Batters and she did ask a question.

The Hon. the Speaker: Senator Clement has moved that further debate be adjourned until the next sitting of the Senate. I will call the question.

It is moved by the Honourable Senator Clement, seconded by the Honourable Senator Petitclerc, that further debate be adjourned until the next sitting of the Senate. Is it your pleasure, honourable senators, to adopt the motion?
