The Hon. the Speaker: Honourable senators, I received notice from the Facilitator of the Independent Senators Group who requests, pursuant to rule 4-3(1), that the time provided for the consideration of Senators’ Statements be extended today for the purpose of paying tribute to the Honourable Howard Wetston, who will retire from the Senate on June 3, 2022.

I remind senators that, pursuant to our rules, each senator may speak only once and will be allowed only three minutes, not including Senator Wetston’s response.

Is it agreed that we continue our tributes to our colleague Senator Wetston under Senators’ Statements?
