Business of the Senate
Declaration of Private Interest--Motion to Withdraw Vote Adopted
June 4, 2019
Hon. David M. Wells
Honourable senators, I want to apologize to the house. I made a declaration of private interest on Bill C-69 and inadvertently voted on this amendment. I’d like to withdraw my vote. I’m pleased that it didn’t affect the outcome. My apologies to the house.
The Hon. the Speaker

According to rule 9-7, it’s also the responsibility of the table and the chair to inform a senator before a vote. The declaration was made last November. Tonight it just slipped past both Senator Wells and me.
But in order for Senator Wells to withdraw his vote, he will need the consent of the house. Is it agreed, honourable senators?
The Hon. the Speaker

Resuming debate on Bill C-69.
