Ruling
February 7, 1969
Report stage
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
This is not the occasion to speak on the general procedure followed by a committee of the House. If the Member "has a protest to make,... it should be made when there is a general debate on the bill which, according to the new rules, should take place at third reading". Although the Member's remarks may have been introductory, he should now limit his remarks to his motion in amendment.

Holding
"Remarks at report stage must be strictly relevant to the specific motion in amendment under consideration, not general commentary on committee proceedings."
AI Summary
The Speaker ruled that a Member's remarks at report stage must be confined to their specific motion in amendment, not general committee procedure.
