Senate By-Law IX states "Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure" by Alice Sturgis (Current Edition) shall govern the Senate in all parliamentary situations not provided for in the UWO Act, Senate By-Laws, or Senate Rules of Order."
The Rules of Order of the Senate which were adopted by Senate in September 1980 (S.2905), at the time when the Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Authority was adopted as Senate's Parliamentary Authority, are appended to the Senate's by-laws (see http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/senate/bylaws.html).
From time to time, based on questions of procedure that arise at Senate meetings, the Operations/Agenda Committee advises Senate of parliamentary rules. At the September 22nd meeting, a question arose about Motions to Reconsider. Sturgis(1) provides the following advice.
Motion to Reconsider
The purpose of a motion to reconsider is to enable an assembly to set aside a vote on a main motion taken at the same meeting or convention and to consider the motion again as though no vote had been taken on it.
Main motions are occasionally approved or disapproved under a misapprehension or without adequate information, and sometimes later events cause an assembly to change its mind.
The vote on any main motion, whether carried or lost, can be reconsidered at the same meeting or convention, except when something that cannot be undone has been done as a result of the vote.
Rules Governing the Motion to Reconsider:
1. Alice Sturgis, Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, 3rd Ed. New and Revised (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1988), 35-37.
