Debate not urgent; limit of one debate per session
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The question is whether or not, in view of planned negotiations, there is an urgency for debate. As "there can be only one debate on a specific matter under Standing Order 26 during a session", Members might want to move with some caution in regard to the question of whether there should be a debate on this urgent matter this afternoon or tomorrow.
