So, as of last Wednesday morning, we had before us: Three separate, non-government motions proposing one sanction for each of the three senators — suspension with no pay, no access to Senate resources and no insurance benefits; we had a government motion that would have imposed time allocation on those three motions, apparently to make us hurry and conclude consideration of those three motions; and we had notice of a new motion, a government motion, that lumped all three senators together and set out a different sanction for them.
Ainsi, mercredi dernier, nous étions saisis de trois motions non gouvernementales distinctes proposant une seule sanction pour chacun des trois sénateurs : la suspension sans rémunération et l'interdiction de l'accès aux ressources et aux assurances du Sénat. De plus, nous avions une motion gouvernementale imposant la fixation d'un délai pour l'étude des trois motions, apparemment pour nous presser de terminer le débat sur ces trois motions.
