Hon. Peter Milliken
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Speaker:
The Chair has carefully considered the matter and wishes to take a little more time to consider the request of the hon. Member. I must say that my initial inclination is to grant the request. I am leaning that way but I will consider the matter for a while yet. I will get back to the House before two o'clock with an answer. I will communicate to the hon. Member as to when I will come back to make that decision.
Editor's Note The Speaker returned to the House with his ruling later that day.
The Speaker:
Earlier this day the Chair received submissions from the hon. Member for Vancouver Island North concerning a request for an emergency debate pursuant to Standing Order 52. I wish to advise the House that the Chair has decided to accept that request and grant it. Accordingly, there will be a debate this evening under the terms of Standing Order 52 at eight o'clock on the subject of softwood lumber..
