| 1993 Precedent | 1. Motion that a Select Committee upon Homefund and FANMAC be appointed moved by an independent member. Paragraph 2 of the motion called on the Government to provide the necessary financial resources to undertake inquiries. Point of order taken that under section 46 of the Constitution Act, no one but a Minister could move for a resolution or vote of the House that seeks to appropriate money. The Speaker stated that he had listened to arguments from both sides of the House and looked carefully at the terms and phrasing of the motion. Given the short time that he had had to consider it, he could not support the point of order that the motion was so specific that it came within the provision of section 46. He ruled that the motion did not refer to appropriation of any specific money; it merely called upon the Government to take certain steps. He agreed that if the motion were construed so widely, many motions which had been passed in the House in the past would have been prohibited and ruled against the point of order. Motion agreed to.

Point of order upheld because the amendment had not been recommended by a message from the Governor, nor proposed by a Minister of the Crown. Amendment negatived. PD 6/5/92, 3681-2 2.
