Marcel Massé LiberalPresident of the Treasury Board and Minister responsible for Infrastructure
Mr. Chairman, the form of this bill is the same as that passed in previous years.
John Nunziata Independent York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Chairman, presumably hon. members are permitted to ask questions as we proceed through the clauses.
Division No. 209Government Orders
The Chairman
No, because the rules provide that there is no debate on this bill. Standing Order 81 provides that at 10 o'clock p.m. on the last supply day the Speaker will interrupt the proceedings and put forthwith every question necessary to dispose of all proceedings under supply without debate or amendments.
John Nunziata Independent York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Chairman, if that is the case, why did you permit the hon. member for Medicine Hat to ask a question?
Division No. 209Government Orders
The Chairman
Because there is a longstanding tradition that that question is asked on each bill to assure the House that the bill is in the usual form.
Shall clause 2 carry?
