Ruling
January 20, 1970
Committee report
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The few precedents to which the Chair can revert for guidance suggest that a Member who is not a member of a committee can move concurrence in a report. ''An extensive search of the records of the House has failed to disclose that any objection to a motion made under circumstances similar to those now under review has ever been made." Furthermore, "the provisions of the Report of the Special Committee on Procedure as adopted on July 12, 1955... make it obligatory to place a motion to concur in a report under the heading Motions".
