Hon. John Fraser
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Deputy Speaker:
I have a difficulty right now because our rules say that I should not have accepted a point of order in the midst of the adjournment motion. This is the adjournment motion, which is what the late show is called. I should not accept points of order during this part of our debate.
F0335-e 34-3 1991-12-05.
