An Hon. Senator: On division.

(Motion agreed to, on division.)

Some Hon. Senators: Agreed.

Hon. David Richards: Honourable senators, I am going to speak to Bill C-21. However, before I start, I want you to know that I have six police officers, one judge and two lawyers in my extended family, so I agree with the rule of law. Except for stealing chocolate milk from the creamery when I was a child, I have kept my nose pretty clean — but I have some problems with this bill. I think it’s a bill that targets rural Canadians.

Senator D. Patterson: Hear, hear.

Hon. Patti LaBoucane-Benson (Legislative Deputy to the Government Representative in the Senate): Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-13(2), I move:

That the Senate do now adjourn.
