| 2001 Cons. Ruling | SPEAKER MURRAY: I refer to a point of order taken by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition today in which he quoted from a ruling that I had supposedly made on 28 October 1998 in reference to the tabling of a document that was quoted in debate. I have looked at the Hansard record of that exchange in 1998. I advise honourable members that my remarks on that occasion have not been interpreted correctly. I did not order the tabling of the document at that time. Rather, Hansard notes that a member had asked the Minister to table the document, which the Minister did on his own initiative.

VP 25/3/92, 169 2. The Speaker stated that unless the House directed otherwise, the Chair proposed that the debate on the Printing of Papers would be confined to the contents of the reports proposed to be printed and to reports which any member believed should have been included within the motion, being reports which were tabled since the last occasion upon which a similar motion had been debated and that detailed debate upon the operations or policy directive of any particular organisation which were the subject of a report should be limited. The Speaker also stated that amendments admissible to such motions would be limited to the omission of a report included or the insertion of a report not included which had been tabled since consideration of a similar motion. PD 8/4/92, 2403-4
VP 8/4/92, 209 3.

Further to the first point of order, a comment was made that the question 'that the following papers be printed' be amended to permit broader debate. The Speaker repeated his earlier ruling of 8/4/92 (see above) and reminded members that debate on this question was limited to 3 minut |
