Point of Order
March 15, 1966
Notice required
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The motion is similar to three previous motions on privilege ruled out of order last week. The motion before the House is not one of privilege: it proposes the establishment of a special committee, which must be done by substantive motion requiring notice. As the motion does not fulfil the requirement for notice, it cannot, other than by unanimous consent, be put to the House at this time.
