the opening of the first session of a parliament takes place over two days (the opening of a subsequent session of the same parliament requires only one day). on the first, routine business is conducted. after such is concluded, the speaker of the senate commands the usher of the black rod (usually called simply black rod) to summon the members of the house of commons to the senate. once assembled, the speaker addresses the congregation, stating "honourable members of the senate, members of the house of commons: i have it in command to let you know his [or her] excellency the governor general does not see fit to declare the causes of his [or her] summoning of the present parliament of canada, until a speaker of the house of commons shall have been chosen, according to law; but tomorrow, [date], at [time], his [or her] excellency will declare the causes of his [or her] calling this parliament." the members of parliament then return to the commons to elect the speaker for that chamber. the speech itself is delivered the following day.
