The Speaker addressed the House:

La Présidente s’adresse à l’Assemblée :

Members will be aware that appearing on today's Orders and Notices Paper are two notices of Opposition Days for debate next week.
Under Standing Order 45(d), I am required to select one of these notices for consideration.
When this issue has come up in the past, previous Speakers have often chosen the notice which was submitted first. However, given that the notices from the Official Opposition and the Third Party were submitted so close to each other that they were received at essentially the same time, this approach will not work in the present situation.
I must instead consider the relative opportunities for each party to submit notice. As I explained to the House in my statement on Monday, October 20, 2025, three Opposition Days are allotted to the Official Opposition, and one to the Third Party during this Fall Meeting Period. At this time, neither party has yet moved an Opposition Day motion. Since the Official Opposition has the greater entitlement, and given that opportunities still remain for both parties to give notice, I have decided that the motion standing in the name of the Leader of the Official Opposition will be the one to be debated next week.
The notice of motion from the Third Party will therefore be removed from the Orders and Notices Paper and is eligible to be tabled again.
I thank the Members for their attention.
