Between 1913 and 1932, closure was invoked 11 times. It was used next time in 1956 during the passage of a bill to establish the Northern Ontario Pipeline Crown Corporation.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> "Closure" is the term used in Canada; "cloture" and "guillotine" are not used.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Procedure on closure in Canada is governed under Standing Order no. 57 of the House of Commons and consists of three parts: Notice of closure, a motion of closure, and a final period of debate before final voting on the bill being closured. Notice of closure is an oral statement announcing intention to call for closure given by any Minister at a prior sitting of the <a href="/wiki/Committee_of_the_Whole" class="mw-redirect" title="Committee of the Whole">Committee of the Whole</a>. The notice need not be the day immediately prior to the sitting at which the bill will be closured, but cannot be in the same sitting as the final motion of closure. The motion of closure, referred to as a motion "that the debate shall not be further adjourned", is passed by a simple majority of the House of Commons, although in the event of a tie, the <a href="/wiki/Speaker_of_the_House_of_Commons_of_Canada" class="mw-redirect" title="Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada">Speaker of the House</a> will apply <a href="/wiki/Speaker_Denison%27s_rule" title="Speaker Denison's rule">Speaker Denison's rule</a> to issue the <a href="/wiki/Casting_vote" title="Casting vote">casting vote</a>. Should the motion of closure pass, all members are given a single period in which to speak lasting no more than 20 minutes. If the final period of speaking to the bill has not been finished by 8:00 p.m. that same day, no MP may speak after that point, and the bill moves to a final vote.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Hong_Kong">Hong Kong</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Cloture&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Hong Kong" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> The first cloture in <a href="/wiki/Hong_Kong" title="Hong Kong">Hong Kong</a> was introduced in the <a href="/wiki/Legislative_Council_of_Hong_Kong" title="Legislative Council of Hong Kong">Legislative Council of Hong Kong</a> on 17 May 2012, by <a href="/wiki/Tsang_Yok-sing" class="mw-redirect" title="Tsang Yok-sing">Tsang Yok-sing</a> (<a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Legislative_Council_of_Hong_Kong" title="President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong">President of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong</a>), to abruptly halt <a href="/wiki/Filibuster" title="Filibuster">filibuster</a> during debate at the Committee of the Whole stage of the <a href="/wiki/Legislative_Council_(Amendment)_Bill_2012" class="mw-redirect" title="Legislative Council (Amendment) Bill 2012">Legislative Council (Amendment) Bill 2012</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> The motion to end debate was submitted by Council member Philip Wong Yu-hong some time after 4 am Hong Kong time, after a marathon session that lasted over 33 hours. Wong stood up and suggested that legislatures in other countries have a procedure called "cloture motion", and suggested Council President should end debate immediately. President Tsang agreed and said that he considered ending debate even without Wong's suggestion because he would not allow debate to go on endlessly. Cloture is not defined by any rule or precedent of the Legislative Council. Tsang made reference to Standing Order 92, which stated "In any matter not provided for in these Rules of Procedure, the practice and procedure to be followed in the Council shall be such as may be decided by the President who may, if he thinks fit, be guided by the practice and procedure of other legislatures".<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Standing Order 92 therefore may implicitly give Council President discretion on whether he should or should not follow the cloture rules of other legislatures, but this is up to debate. Legislative Council President Tsang chose to end debate without calling for a cloture vote, which is questionable. Council member Leung Kwok-hung then stood up and said that he had never heard of cloture without a vote anywhere else and suggested there should have been a cloture vote. Cloture was again invoked by Tsang Yok-sing on 13 May 2013 to halt debate of the 2013 Appropriation Bill. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><h2 id="New_Zealand">New Zealand</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Cloture&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: New Zealand" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> In the <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_House_of_Representatives" title="New Zealand House of Representatives">New Zealand House of Representatives</a>, any MP called to speak may move a closure motion.

cloture.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> For example, if all 100 senators voted on a cloture motion, 67 affirmative votes were required to invoke cloture; however, if some senators were absent and only 80 senators voted, only 54 would have to vote in favor.<a href="#cite_note-senate.gov-36">[36]</a> In the early years of the cloture rule, it proved very difficult to achieve this. The Senate tried 11 times between 1927 and 1962 to invoke cloture but failed each time.

Therefore, these measures cannot be filibustered and are not subjected to the supermajority cloture threshold. Although filing cloture on nondebatable measures is redundant, it has been done on occasion.<a href="#cite_note-RFloyd1992-39">[39]</a>: 302 On November 21, 2013, after many of President <a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a>'s nominees had been filibustered (most notably, Republicans refused to confirm any nominees to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_District_of_Columbia_Circuit" title="United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit">United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit</a>), Majority Leader <a href="/wiki/Harry_Reid" title="Harry Reid">Harry Reid</a> raised a point of order that the threshold for invoking cloture on nominations, other than those to the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">Supreme Court of the United States</a>, is a simple majority. The presiding officer overruled the point of order. The ruling of the chair was overruled by the Senate by a vote of 48–52, with all Republicans, as well as Democratic Senators <a href="/wiki/Carl_Levin" title="Carl Levin">Carl Levin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Manchin" title="Joe Manchin">Joe Manchin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mark_Pryor" title="Mark Pryor">Mark Pryor</a>, voting in favor of sustaining the decision of the chair.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> On April 6, 2017, following the filibuster of <a href="/wiki/Neil_Gorsuch" title="Neil Gorsuch">Neil Gorsuch</a>'s nomination to the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">Supreme Court of the United States</a>, Majority Leader <a href="/wiki/Mitch_McConnell" title="Mitch McConnell">Mitch McConnell</a> raised a point of order that the 2013 precedent also applied to Supreme Court nominations. The presiding officer overruled the point of order. The ruling of the chair was overturned by the Senate by a vote of 48–52, with all Democrats voting to sustain the decision of the chair.

In practice, this mandatory quorum call is almost always waived by unanimous consent.</li> <li>The presiding officer puts to the Senate the question, "Is it the sense of the Senate that debate shall be brought to a close?"</li> <li>The Senate votes on the cloture motion by the yeas and nays. A majority of three-fifths of senators duly chosen and sworn (60 votes if there is no more than one vacancy in the Senate) is required for most questions. A two-thirds majority of senators present and voting is required to invoke cloture on a motion or resolution to amend the Standing Rules of the Senate. Under the precedents set by the Senate on November 21, 2013, and April 6, 2017, a simple majority of senators present and voting is required to invoke cloture on nominations.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a></li></ul> After cloture is invoked, the Senate automatically proceeds to consider the measure on which cloture was invoked (if it was not before the Senate already). The following restrictions apply: <ul><li>The clotured measure remains the unfinished business to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of.</li> <li>No senator may speak for more than one hour.
