Notice of objection to the estimates
Hon. James Jerome
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
A notice of objection to an item in the estimates is not a motion; it only notifies the House that a Member insists on a separate vote on that particular item.
The only way to deal with the matter is by the motion of the President of the Treasury Board to concur in that item. This is as close as the House can come to dealing with the notice of objection under present practices.
