CONT

At the south entrance of the chamber, there is a brass barrier known as the bar of the Senate. Its purpose is to prevent strangers – anyone who is not a senator or an official of the Senate – from coming onto the floor of the chamber. Senators must be within the bar when a question is put in order to take part in a recorded vote and to be counted in a quorum.

CONT

À l’entrée sud de la salle se trouve une barre en laiton appelée la barre du Sénat. Elle est là pour empêcher les étrangers – c’est-à-dire toute personne autre qu’un sénateur ou un fonctionnaire du Sénat – d’entrer sur le parquet du Sénat. Les sénateurs doivent se trouver à l’intérieur de la barre lorsqu’une question est mise aux voix pour prendre part à un vote par appel nominal et pour faire partie du compte pour le quorum.
