Scope of Royal Recommendation
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Crown retains the financial initiative through a recommendation from the Governor General. The Royal Recommendation need not cover all details of a bill. A general recommendation from the Crown that the Governor General is recommending the bill to the attention of the House would be sufficient. The general recommendation is not to be confused with the resolution stage of a bill, which is no longer in use.
