Senator Wong interjecting—

And you have never moved it! Why didn't you move it this week?

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Senator Rhiannon, will you resume your seat.

Honourable senators interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Resume your seat, Senator Rhiannon. We will resume when we have silence in the chamber.

Honourable senators interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Order! Senator Rhiannon, resume your seat.

Honourable senators interjecting—

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Order! Silence!
