However, I should like to remind honourable senators that if independent senators wish to speak to a motion that is standing in the name of either a government member or an opposition member, it would be helpful if, before the proceedings began, they were to inform the leader or deputy leader of the party which has adjourned the debate that they wish to speak to the item.
Cependant, je rappelle aux honorables sénateurs que, lorsqu'un sénateur indépendant veut intervenir sur une motion inscrite au nom d'un sénateur du gouvernement ou de l'opposition, il serait utile, avant que les travaux commencent, d'en informer le leader ou le leader adjoint du parti qui a ajourné le débat.
