    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are moving to adjourn debate on this Motion because we want to attend a service. I am disheartened by what I have heard from some colleagues and to know that we can be that callous and heatless towards our own colleague. I hope that when I die, similar statements will not be made about me. I want to urge that you accede to Sen. Orengo’s Motion because the matter before the House and why we want to adjourn to go to the service is because we want to ventilate fully on this Motion. This Motion, if passed, lays an extremely dangerous precedence for this House and for the growth of democracy in this country. With regard to constitutionalism, it is seeking to entrench intolerance and we need time to debate the Motion and assist the Chair. At some point, we may ask the Chair to make rulings on constitutional issues that are in the Motion. Consequently, I urge you to exercise your discretion under the Standing Order cited and adjourn debate on this Motion for the reason that many Senators, keen to debate it fully, are also obligated by their inner feelings unlike some of us to go and see of our departed colleague who would have made tremendous arguments on law and fact on a Motion such as this in this House. It is befitting to do so. I second."
