Parliamentary Procedure And Practice In The Dominion Of Canada Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Parliamentary Procedure and Practice in the Dominion of Canada Although the adoption of the new rules was most severely contested no occasion has so far arisen, since their coming into force, for action upon them. Probably the mere fact of the existence of the powers conferred by these rules will accomplish all that their authors desired. The valuable historical introduction contained in the previous editions though both instructive and interesting has been greatly condensed and many portions re-written, such parts only being retained as may throw light rather upon Canadian parliamentary usages than upon the general constitutional history of the country.

These were entered on the rolls of parliament with the King's answer Three Kinds Of Bills. 489 chap, xv. annexed.

Private bills are treated of in a separate chapter, as the procedure in connection with them differs in material respects from that of public bills. Public bills may be introduced by members of the ministry as government measures when they are for purposes of procedure placed on the government orders after their first reading. Other public bills are those introduced by members of parliament, not in the administration, and these, for purposes of procedure, are after a first reading placed in the...
