Hon. Dan Hays (Deputy Leader of the Government): Honourable senators, I propose that we give leave for Senator Tkachuk to continue to the conclusion of his remarks, including comments and questions, and that we not see the clock until that has occurred. I propose as well that we give leave to any standing committees of the Senate that have arranged meetings for 3:30 to sit even though the Senate is now sitting.
L'honorable Dan Hays (leader adjoint du gouvernement): Honorables sénateurs, je propose que nous permettions au sénateur Tkachuk de terminer ses observations, y compris les observations et les questions, que nous ne voyions pas l'heure et que nous permettions aussi à tout comité permanent du Sénat qui doit se réunir à 15 h 30 de le faire même si le Sénat siège.
