January 24, 1966
Private Members' bills
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Since it would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for the Chair to examine each bill at this time, it is suggested that the House follow the procedure agreed upon in each of the past four sessions: that by unanimous consent, all the bills be deemed introduced and given first reading, and then be examined by the Chair before second reading in order to determine whether they have defects concerning the practices and usages of the House.
