158 THE METHOD OF LEGISLATION. Committee of the whole, the Commons instead of com- mitting the bill have had it read at length’. Mr Burinot® suggests that this practice has been followed only in a few cases where there was no wish to introduce amendments. Assuming that the House is going into Committee on the bill the procedure is as follows. Commit- When the order for the day for the Committee is reached, see of the as 7 . z whole. and it is desired to have any “Instructions” given to the Committee, a motion to that effect should then be made. The object of such instructions is to confer on the Committee some power it would not otherwise possess. If no motion is made for instructions, the Speaker puts she question “that I do now leave the chair,” on which a debate may ensue... When the House finally resolves it- self into Committee, the Speaker leaves the chair, and there being no permanent Chairman of Committees as in England he in accordance with the standing orders calls on some member to take the chair. The bill is then considered clause by clause, the preamble and title being last con- sidered®. At any time new clauses may be considered and amendments though not within the scove and title of the hill* may be introduced. After all the clauses have been considered the Chairman makes a report to the House. The bill is usually taken into consideration at once, and a time is appointed for the third reading. The English practice of amending a bill at this stage is usual in the Senate out it has not been adopted in the Commons, though the bill may be recommitted with or without limitations. Third Third Reading. On the third reading in the Commons Reading. the English practice is adopted of not allowing any amend- ment except mere verbal ones, though in former years substantial changes were sometimes introduced at this t Can.
