Speaker of the Senate
Speaker's Statement – Further Consideration on a Point of Order
Honourable senators, on February 6th Senator Sinclair raised a point of order concerning the possible application of the sub judice convention to a motion moved by Senator Boisvenu. I have since received a request from Senator Boisvenu to allow further consideration of the matter. Although not common, this is not unprecedented, and I will, somewhat exceptionally, allow this in the current case.
Therefore, at the start of Orders of the Day tomorrow, I will hear further new arguments on the point of order. But honourable senators, let me stress that I wish to hear new information only, and I would ask senators to please be brief in their interventions.
