Point of Order
March 7, 1968
Resolution in Committee of Ways and Means; notice
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
No notice of motion is required because these resolutions are introduced in the Committee of Ways and Means. "Procedurally there has been no notice because nothing appears on the Order Paper except an appendix for the convenience and information of Members... Since the Ways and Means Resolutions are initiated in the committee itself and do not exist before that, no notice can be given of the resolutions. They do not exist until the Minister of Finance in Committee of Ways and Means moves a motion and intimates to the House what the resolution will be." That being so, the Standing Order does not apply.
