February 24, 1970
Setting two distinct propositions
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Although the propositions that the principle of the bill be reconsidered and the second reading be deferred six months are both separately acceptable, they cannot be combined. There is no precedent to allow a six months' hoist to be attached to a reasoned amendment, or vice-versa.
