Why shortchange debate by axing the 36 hour time frame?

Any member can object to a vote, I would remind you. Indeed a motion for a final vote will only ever be successful if the entire house is in agreement. In such cases, there isn't anything to debate. If a member feels more debate is needed, they are more than allowed to object to any motion until either they feel debate has run it's course or a motion for cloture is successful. 36 hours without debate only slows down the wheels of government, as we are forced to run down the clock before moving to a final vote.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

With 4 votes in favour, the amendment to the Standing Orders is adopted.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Mr. Speaker, with the passage of the amendment increasing the number of slots to 8, pray tell, when will these 3 new slots be used?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

With the resignation of Speaker Ontario Progressive, a new election is required.

24 hours to nominate.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

I nominate myself for Speaker.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

In the interest of reducing the abruptness of the transition, I would second the nomination of Jimmy for Speaker.
What we need now is certainty and experience, to see us through this Parliamentary overhaul. And I am of the opinion that only Jimmy can provide that at this time.

Credit where credit is due for realizing token speaker runs just waste time.

With the 24 hours voting having past, may the FM please close the vote so the Speaker can swear in and get to work?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Jimmy is unanimously elected Speaker.

Swearing in for that isn't necessary FYI.

I introduce the following amendment to the Standing Orders. This amendment makes it crystal clear that only votes cast within the exact 72 hours voting time are valid. This is to avoid disputes as have occurred previously.
