Point of Order
April 20, 1970
Point of order; provisions in bill referring to other bills under study
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
While the argument is not without merit, it is somewhat premature. "... if the bill receives second reading and is referred to committee, it would then be considered by a committee of the House along with the other two bills and it would be at the third reading stage that the argument could be presented with much more force and at that point should be considered very seriously."

Holding
"A point of order regarding a bill's provisions referring to other bills still under study is premature at second reading and should be raised at the third reading stage."
