Debate not urgent; other opportunities for debate
Hon. Jeanne Sauvé
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Although the state of the economy is a highly important matter, it may not be dealt with in an emergency debate because it has been a recurring subject of debate throughout the session. Furthermore, because of the continuing nature of the problem other opportunities will arise to debate it, most notably during the current supply period.
