Ruling
March 10, 1971
Legislative item
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Previous rules allowed unlimited consideration of the Supplementary Estimates. Present rules restrict such consideration to a degree substantial enough to warrant the exclusion of items of a legislative nature from what is strictly Supply. "Until now, the House has not had the opportunity to reaffirm the proposition that such proposals, when they are clearly intended to amend existing legislation, should come to the House by way of an amending bill rather than as an item in the supplementary estimates."
