===Legislative Use===
[[Mason's Legislative Manual]] states that the purpose of the objection to consideration is to bar from discussion or consideration "any matter that is considered irrelevant, contentious or unprofitable, or that, for any reason, is thought not advisable to discuss."<ref>{{cite parl|title=MAS|edition=2000|year=2000|pages=218}}</ref>
