A suspension is a formal pause during the course of a single sitting. The Speaker suspends the House and announces to the House when the suspension is over. A suspension may be of any duration. Suspensions may occur to allow the Speaker to confer with the table, to allow members to vacate the House during a fire alarm, when debate has collapsed and there is no motion before the House and no consent to move to another order of business, or for other reasons. When the sitting is suspended, the Speaker leaves the chair but the mace remains on the table.
VERY interesting timing, dont you all agree?

I suggest they replace that kind of mace with a different kind. Better yet - bear spray.
