Program for General Business Days

101. The procedure for establishing the program for General Business Days is as follows:
      1. On Wednesdays, Members shall advise the Clerk in writing by 12.00 noon which General Business Notices of Motions for Bills, Orders of the Day for Bills, or Notices of Motions (not for Bills) standing in their name on the Business Paper are to be postponed. Party Whips may also advise the Clerk in writing of which items of General Business standing in the name of Members of their party are to be postponed.
      2. The first ten notices on the Business Paper, not advised to be postponed by 12.00 noon on the day preceding a General Business Day, will be deemed to be proceeding. Any General Business Order of the Day for Bills or Notice of Motion re-ordered by the House to have precedence in accordance with Standing Orders 97 and 106 will retain such precedence.
      3. On any day when General Business is being considered by the House, a Member may, without debate:
          1. withdraw or postpone any notice of motion standing in their name on the Business Paper for that day.
          2. postpone or, on motion, discharge an Order of the Day standing in their name on the Business Paper for that day.
          3. discharge an Order of the Day for a bill on motion, without debate or amendment, "That the Order of the Day be discharged and the Bill withdrawn".
