Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. Yesterday, the House voted on Bill C-218, an act to amend the Criminal Code, sports betting, at second reading. The government has also introduced a bill on the same issue: Bill C-13, an act to amend the Criminal Code, single event sport betting.
Page 568 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, 2017, respecting the rule of anticipation, states, “If a decision is taken on the first bill”—as was the case with Bill C-218—“then the other”—in this case, Bill C-13—“may not be proceeded with.”
Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if you could please inform the House of the impact the second-reading vote on Bill C-218 has on Bill C-13.
