Pursuant to Standing Order 9(a),
the motion for adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been
made and carried.
Conformément à
l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du
débat est réputée avoir été
proposée et adoptée.
The Deputy Speaker (Mr. Johnson)
addressed the House as follows:-
Because of the unusual
circumstance we currently find ourselves in, before adjourning
today I would like to advise Members of the procedures for
tomorrow morning's meeting of the House.
Our Standing Orders are very
clear in providing that the only reason this place should meet
before 1:30 of the clock on a Thursday is to deal with private
members' public business. Tomorrow, of course, happens to be such
a day when the House will begin meeting at 10:00 a.m.
Therefore, at 10 o'clock until
noon tomorrow the House will meet to deal with private member's
ballot items 5 and 6 standing in the names of Ms. Churley and Mr.
Gilchrist. Then at 1:30 of the clock, when we come back to this
place, we will immediately go into the debate on the amendment to
the amendment to Mr. Conway's motion as it sits today, with the
Member for Northumberland properly having the floor at
1:30.
Please note that this is based
on the process the House followed on January 22 and 23, 1997 in
identical circumstances.
