September 13, 1973
Debate urgent
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Despite some hesitation to put a motion founded primarily on the regular monthly reports of Statistics Canada, there are in this instance special circumstances to justify an emergency debate which would take into account the statistical report on which the Leader of the Opposition has based his motion. This motion will be put on the understanding that the scope of the debate will encompass the subject-matter proposed by Mr. Broadbent, thus giving him a "special position in this debate".
