After a number of occasions where the opposition managed to delay or prevent passage of government bills, closure in Canada was adopted by the House of Commons in 1913 on the motion of Conservative Prime Minister Robert Borden. The new closure rule was used by the government only a few days later, during debate at the Committee of the Whole stage of the Naval Aid Bill. 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.[1] "Closure" is the term used in Canada; "cloture" and "guillotine" are not used.[citation needed] Closure was used to force the adoption of a single red maple leaf flag design on December 15, 1964.[2]
