Senators, the default is that, pursuant to Standing Order No.106(4), each Senator has a maximum of 20 minutes to speak, except the Mover, who is the Senate Majority Leader, and the Senate Minority Leader, who have a maximum of sixty (60) minutes each. I will however use my discretion under this Standing Order to give considerable time to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights when making his contribution in the debate. At the conclusion of debate, the decision of the Senate on the Bill will be guided by Article 257(8) of the Constitution that states that “A Bill under this Article is passedby Parliament if supported by a majority of the Members of each House”. This provision applies to all the stages as outlined in the Order Paper. Hon. Senators, in accordance with Standing Order 30 (5), the business specified in the Gazette Notice, and as outlined in the Order Papers; shall be the only business before the Senate during the Special Sittings, following which the Senate shall stand adjourned until Tuesday, 11th May, 2021, at 10.00 am, pursuant to the Senate Calendar."
