Ruling
June 29, 1971
Government Orders
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The proposed motion is out of order because it asks the House to proceed to the point it has already reached. Furthermore, a motion that the Orders of the Day be read is obsolete as a substantive motion, and this type of motion survives only in the form of an amendment to a motion introduced before the ordinary business of the day, such as a privileged motion.
