Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
If a vote on the non-confidence motion is taken before 9:45 p.m., the House would then have the opportunity to look at the procedural difficulties mentioned in connection with the notices of opposition; "otherwise, [they] would be dealt with some time after 10:00 p.m." As for the two motions relating to concurrence in a committee report, "these would have to be considered as supply business on a supply day, but not on this day".
