However, as no report on the votability of the Bill had been presented to the House by the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, as required by Standing Order 92, the Speaker ordered that the item be dropped to the bottom of the Order of Precedence until the Standing Committee reported on its status. Statement of the Chair The Speaker: Pursuant to Standing Order 92, a private Member’s item may only be considered by the House after a final decision on the votable status of the item has been made. Although the House was to consider Bill C-415, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (replacement workers) , today, no report on the votability of the Bill has been submitted or passed, as required before a bill can become the subject of debate. I am therefore directing the Table Officers to drop this item of business to the bottom of the Order of Precedence and accordingly Private Members’ Hour is suspended today. Postscript Bill C-415 remained in the Order of Precedence and, after the prorogation of the First Session and opening of the Second Session of the Thirty-Ninth Parliament, it was reinstated on October 16, 2007. It was debated for a first hour at second reading on December 3, 2007, and then remained on the Order of Precedence (having been exchanged on several occasions) until all Private Members’ Business then under consideration came to an end with the dissolution of the Thirty-Ninth Parliament on September 7, 2008.
