Time allocation
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
In this case the provisions of the Standing Orders do not require a 48-hour written notice. The Standing Orders further state that a Minister who has given notice of an intention to do so, may "propose a motion for the purpose of allotting a specified number of days or hours for the consideration and disposal of proceedings at that stage". The Chair has no authority to go beyond the actual provisions of the Standing Orders in effect at this time; they must be observed as set down.
