To the extent of the role of the Speaker in the House Business Committee, the Speaker is an ex-officio Member of the HBC. He is not a member of the HBC. He or she just observers what they would have laid there. Under the circumstances, the Speaker can only rule on the admissibility or inadmissibility of a Motion either at the time when notice is being given or when it is being debated. That is the practice of this House."}
