Walter Edward Foster (Speaker of the Senate)

Liberal

Mr. SPEAKER:

I am of the opinion that the point of order is not well taken. The government has always precedence in these matters. The hon. member refers to a resolution on a similar subject which was moved by an hon. member of the house and which was subsequently adopted. But this resolution was simply an expression of opinion of the house. The government always has the right to bring in legislation, therefore I think the point of order is not well taken.
