House of Commons Hansard #108 of the 35th Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was firearms.
Chuck Strahl Reform Fraser Valley East, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding of Standing Order 78 that the government must give one full day's notice of a time allocation motion. I believe that notice was just given a few minute's ago and here we have moved to the motion itself which is to limit debate to only one more day.
I would ask the Speaker to look at that. It seems there needs to be a day's notice and I do not think that has been given.
Bob Kilger Liberal Stormont—Dundas, ON
Mr. Speaker, the proper notice was given last Tuesday for the next sitting which means any future sitting so the motion is in order.
Chuck Strahl Reform Fraser Valley East, BC
Mr. Speaker, as I understand it, there needs to be one full day of debate on this. Could you explain this? It seems this is being rushed through. Time allocation is being rushed through as well as the time allocation motion, which is inappropriate. I think they are out of line here.

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Milliken)
The Chair is ready to rule on the point of order raised by the hon. whip for the Reform Party.
I draw his attention and the attention of the House to Standing Order 78(3)(a). The notice, as indicated by the chief government whip, was given last week. The motion is in accordance with the notice that was given and under paragraph (3)(a) in the last sentence:
Any proceedings interrupted pursuant to this section of this Standing Order shall be deemed adjourned.
The House was debating Bill C-62. Accordingly, the debate on Bill C-62 is deemed adjourned. There has been an interruption in the proceedings by reason of moving the motion. I now propose to put the motion proposed by the Minister of Labour to the House.

Mr. Speaker, perhaps you could inform me on Standing Order 78, which deals with time allocation. Is there any limit to the number of times the government can bring in time allocation?
