The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Do we have consent?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Senator Marshall, you don’t. If you want a few more minutes, you can ask. Senator Marshall, are you asking for five more minutes?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Senator Marshall, I hate to disturb you, but do you have a quick conclusion?

The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Senator Deacon, I’m sorry, but I have to interrupt you. We have to move forward for the vote on Bill S-5.

I believe that there is agreement on a bell.

Honourable senators, it being 5:15 p.m., I must interrupt the proceeding. Pursuant to rule 9-6, the bells will ring to call in the senators for the taking of a deferred vote at 5:30 p.m. on the motions responding to the message on Bill S-5.

Call in the senators.

On the Order:

Resuming debate on the motion of the Honourable Senator Gold, P.C., seconded by the Honourable Senator LaBoucane-Benson:

That a message be sent to the House of Commons to acquaint that house accordingly.

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