Ruling
January 27, 1969
Notice requirement
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Standing Orders require a 24-hour written notice be given; therefore, it should be open to Members to file their notices for motions, bills or papers and written questions, just as it should be open to the Government to file notices without losing the day. The suspension of the sitting is different from an adjournment; the Votes and Proceedings, the Order Paper and Debates will reflect these circumstances.

Holding
"A suspension of a sitting, unlike an adjournment, does not interrupt the 24-hour notice period required for filing motions, bills, or written questions."
AI Summary
The Speaker rules that a suspension of a sitting is not an adjournment, and therefore the 24-hour notice period for filing business continues to run.
