Ruling Text
The introduction of a motion under Standing Order 43 should be limited to a brief statement concerning the urgency of the motion, and should not be used to submit arguments. A motion may be submitted under this Standing Order only if the matter in question is of such urgency that the time-honoured, traditional provision for notice given for any motion proposed to the House, whether by the Government, Opposition or a private Member, cannot be followed.
