Commons opens second session amid point of order on omnibus motion
The House devoted the largest share of its time to business of supply and committee of the whole proceedings. Tony Clement moved that supply business be considered at the next sitting, a motion adopted on division after limited debate.
Nathan Cullen raised a point of order on government Motion No. 2, arguing that its 13 separate questions should be debated and voted on individually rather than as an omnibus measure. Peter Van Loan replied that the motion restores House business to its June state through a balanced approach.
