CONT

The Government House Leader may also, under Standing Order So 78(2), conclude an agreement with the opposition parties regarding allotment of time at report stage and third reading. When a compromise cannot be reached, the government may present its own timetable. In the event of a systematic opposition blockade, the government may invoke closure, which limits the time allotted to debate and facilitates the rapid passage of a disputed bill.
