Ruling
July 7, 1967
Adjournment motion; amendment
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The amendment is a substantive proposition and raises a new question which requires notice. A more serious objection, although not raised in debate by Members, is that the amendment seeks to direct the Government to do something involving the expenditure of money; this cannot be done without a Royal Recommendation.
