Ruling
December 14, 1982
Notice of motion
Hon. Jeanne Sauvé
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Minister met the requirements of the Standing Orders, in that the notice was given by him "from his place in the House" and "at a previous sitting". There are many precedents to indicate that giving notice at the stage at which the public bill in question is under consideration is not an essential condition. In consequence, the Speaker has to rule that the notice of motion to be made later this day by the Hon. Minister of Agriculture is in order.

Holding
"A notice of motion is procedurally valid if given at any previous sitting; it is not required to be given during the specific stage of proceedings for the item it concerns."
AI Summary
The Speaker ruled a minister's notice of motion was in order because it was given at a previous sitting, which satisfies the Standing Orders.
