[1] On December 13, 2004, Bill C-320, bearing a title identical to that of Bill C-228, and standing in the name of Judy Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North), was introduced and read a first time. [2] On December 14, 2004, the Acting Speaker (Marcel Proulx) informed the House that Bills C-228 and C-320 were identical, and that Bill C-320 had been improperly introduced. Accordingly, he directed the Clerk of the House to have Bill C-320 removed from the Order Paper. Statement of the Chair The Acting Speaker (Marcel Proulx): Order, please. I wish to inform the House that there is an error in today’s Order Paper. Two identical private Members’ bills appear on the list of items outside the Order of Precedence under the Private Members’ Business section of the Order Paper. Bill C-228 establishing the Pension Ombudsman Act , standing in the name of the hon. Member for Winnipeg Centre, was introduced and read the first time on Monday, October 18, 2004. Yesterday, Bill C-320, a bill identical to Bill C-228, standing in the name of the hon. Member for Winnipeg North, was introduced and read the first time. Only the first such item should have appeared on the Order paper. I am directing the Clerk to remove Bill C-320 from the Order Paper. I regret any inconvenience this may have caused hon. Members.
