I have an interest in speaking on section 9 so will that be reached before the guillotine this evening at 10 p.m? It is the central plank of this Bill. We have spent almost seven hours debating two sections and I will be bitterly disappointed if I do not get to say a few brief words. At the rate we are going, it seems we will not get to section 9. Whatever side a Senator is on, section 9 is the kernel of the Bill and it would be unfair to many on both sides of the Bill if we do not get a fair debate on the issue of suicidal ideation.
