My understanding is that the convention is that leaders of party have precedence over newly-arrived senators. I acknowledge that in the most recent circumstance, Senator McCarthy was given the call on the basis that she is a proud First Nations woman—and I support that call. But I don't believe that Senator Bragg has that same claim, so I'm seeking the call.
