Other opportunities for debate
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The House would not be well served if its business were put off in order to allow this sort of debate. A motion was moved yesterday under Standing Order 26 and it was agreed to discuss that motion today the subject-matter of this new motion should be postponed to another day. "To proceed otherwise would be illogical." Standing Order 26 is not intended to be used to introduce motions of such wide scope. "It is almost sure that very shortly the House will be asked to consider a supply motion and the Budget, and within the scope of these two subjects" the debate on this motion could take place.

AI Summary
