Hon. Bernadette Clement: Was it a question?
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?
Some Hon. Senators: Yes.
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.
