Rule of anticipation
Hon. Lucien Lamoureux
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
The Member is proposing a matter that might be decided later when the House discusses the motion of the Minister of National Health and Welfare. "In applying the anticipation rule, preference is given to the discussions which lead to the most effective result, and this has established a descending scale of values for discussions - bills, motions, amendments, etc. Thus a bill must not be anticipated by... discussion of a motion, amendment or subject raised on another motion."
