Point of Order
April 3, 1967
Late distribution of documents
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The amendments are now before the House in two forms: the report which was tabled and which is now officially before the House, and the amended bill which has been distributed. Distribution might have been late, causing some problems, but is not really a point of order; it is a question of convenience.
