Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Page 2 of the Order Paper, which is titled "Projected Weekly Order of Business", is not an official part of the Order Paper; rather it is inserted for the information of Members. The Government may not change anything on the Order Paper, only a decision by the House may modify it. However, the text of the Member's notice of motion should have appeared on the Notice Paper because the notice had not been withdrawn.
