Scope of Royal Recommendation
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
If the recommendation is incomplete, it is possible for the Crown to make the necessary corrections, as has been done in the past. To avoid delay, consideration of the bill may resume, but the question on the motion for second reading will not be put until a decision has been reached or the connections have been made.
