You are unable to do under the standing orders. I refer you to the Practice on page 581, just so everyone is clear on what you can and can't do. I'm in the hands of the House here. If no minister takes action on a message, under convention:

A private Member takes responsibility for a private Senator's bill by moving, on the occasion of the bill's first reading in the House, that the second reading be made an order of the day for the next sitting—

So you're entitled to do that.
