Other opportunities for debate
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
An opportunity to debate the matter is available to the House; an amendment to the Budget motion is now before the House and there are three supply motions to be considered, one of them very soon. Moreover, as indicated by some Members themselves, this is not a sudden emergency, but a continuing one. This is not the type of motion that can be or ought to be entertained under Standing Order 26.
