Hon. Lucien Lamoureux

Speaker of the House

Ruling Text

Specific items in the Estimates may be debated as proposed in the motion of Mr. Nielsen. However, because the votable supply day motions have already been exhausted, there would be no vote on the motion and debate would simply expire no later than shortly before the ordinary time of adjournment. If, on the allotted day, the motion were not put forward, the House would proceed to consideration of government supply business, but this is a hypothetical situation.
