INTRODUCTION OF BILLS. 
153 
Introduction. In the House of Commons every bill is i Jor 
introduced upon motion for leave specifying the title of 
the bill’, and therefore two days’ notice must be given®; a 
copy of the bill must be furnished to the Speaker along with 
the motion in writing. It is usual for the member in charge 
to explain clearly the main provisions of the measure®, but 
though there is no rule preventing a debate or forbidding 
an amendment, it is not usual to discuss the bill at this 
stage. 
There are two classes of bills that cannot be introduced 
directly on motion, but which require to be first considered 
in committee—(1) Bills relating to Trade, and (2) Money 
Bills. 
I. Bills relating to Trade. The 41st standing order of Bills re- 
the House of Commons provides, that all bills relating to uisy to 
trade or to the alteration of the laws concerning trade must 
be first considered in Committee in order to give opportunity 
for full discussion and a wide notice to persons interested. 
There is no such rule in the Senate. The rule applies to 
bills affecting trade generally as well as those relating to a 
particular trade®. 
2. Money Bills. By order 88, it is provided Money 
“If any motion be made in the House for any public aid Bills. 
or charge upon the people, the consideration and debate 
thereof may not be presently entered upon but shall be 
adjourned until such future day as the House may think fit 
to appoint: and then it shall be referred to a Committee 
of the whole House before any resolution or vote of the 
House do pass thereon.” 
This rule requires that money bills shall first be con- 
sidered as resolutions in Committee of the whole House?
