Ruling April 20, 1967

Time allocation: notice

Hon. Lucien Lamoureux

Hon. Lucien Lamoureux

Speaker of the House

Ruling Text

The motion in question is a time allocation motion and the notice of motion was given by a Minister orally at an earlier sitting. The provisional Standing Order "not only dispenses with the requirement for 48 hours' notice with respect to a motion for time allocation but it also renders inoperative the ordinary machinery for putting a notice on the Order Paper ". This type of motion, of which a Minister has given notice, must be made orally during Routine Proceedings.
