Excerpt from Parliamentary Procedure and Practice in the Dominion of Canada Although the adoption of the new rules was most severely contested no occasion has so far arisen, since their coming into force, for action upon them. Probably the mere fact of the existence of the powers conferred by these rules will accomplish all that their authors desired. The valuable historical introduction contained in the previous editions though both instructive and interesting has been greatly condensed and many portions re-written, such parts only being retained as may throw light rather upon Canadian parliamentary usages than upon the general constitutional history of the country.
