ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |
On a point of order being raised with respect to Standing Orders 55 and 56, the Acting Speaker (Mr. Miller (Hamilton East–Stoney Creek)) recessed the House for 5 minutes. Upon his return, the Acting Speaker delivered the following ruling:- This is an issue that has been raised on several occasions over the years. It is true that the Standing Order uses the word “shall”, but it is also true, as previous Speakers have pointed out, that this procedure has been more or less disused for quite some time now. When this has been raised before, other Speakers have noted that it is certainly useful to the Members to know in advance what the business of the day will be, but they have also noted that the Speaker cannot compel that this be done. The point was also made by previous Speakers, and by contributors to this very point of order, that it is obviously a good practice, and of assistance to the House, for reasonable notice to be given of the day’s business. I agree with those previous rulings. Notice being preferable, the Government House Leader nevertheless has the ability to call any eligible item of business on the Order Paper. Order G30 is therefore properly before the House at this time. | |

Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 30, Loi modifiant la Loi de 2000 sur les normes d’emploi en ce qui concerne le congé familial pour les aidants naturels. |
