Ruling
March 26, 1974
Legislative item
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
"Parliament cannot legislate by Estimates", but this particular vote in the Estimates does not seek to amend an act or "to establish a legislative principle". It is difficult to see how this is anything other than an item of Estimates.
