INTRODUCTION OF BILLS |
DÉPÔT DES PROJETS DE LOI |
|
|
The following Bills were introduced and read the first time:- |
Les projets de loi suivants sont présentés et lus une première fois:- |
|
|
Bill 102, An Act to amend the Highway Traffic Act to permit pilot projects relating to red light cameras. Hon. T. Clement. |
Projet de loi 102, Loi modifiant le Code de la route pour permettre les projets pilotes ayant trait aux dispositifs photographiques reliés aux feux rouges. L'hon. T. Clement. |

Projet de loi 103, Loi prévoyant un serment d'allégeance pour les députés à l'Assemblée législative. Mr. D. Agostino. |
|
|
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
|||||
|
Yesterday, the Member for Grey-Owen Sound rose on a point of order concerning a petition he had presented, which was returned to him by the Table on the basis that it was found to be out of order. The Member requested that the Speaker review the petition he had presented since, in his view, it should have been found to be in order. I have now reviewed the petition and wish to report to the Member and to the House on this matter. Standing Order 38 sets out 5 criteria that a petition must meet to be found in order. The petition presented by the Member for Grey-Owen Sound fails to meet at least 2 of these criteria. First, Standing Order 38 (c)(iv) requires each petition to "have its request appear at the top of each sheet, if it consists of more than one sheet of signatures." The petition in question consists of 2 sheets, but one sheet contains the text of the petition, without any signatures, and the other contains only signatures, without any request to parliament, contrary to the Standing Orders. Secondly, Standing Order 38 (c)(ii) requires a petition to "contain a clear, proper and respectful request that the House take some action within its authority." The petition in question does not make any request of the Assembly. Rather, on the one sheet that contains the purported text of the petition, only a statement of certain principles is enumerated, to which the purported signatories to the petition, found on the second page, purportedly adhere. However, the Assembly is not asked to take any action within its authority. The key principle that this petition offends is that all petitioners should know precisely what it is they are petitioning parliament for. With the request to parliament on a separate page from the signatures, there is no way to know that the signatories saw and understood the nature of the petition. When the text of the petition is at the top of each page of signatures, it is a certainty that each person signing the petition will have seen and agreed with it. The petition also contains certain alterations. Again, this gives rise to the principle that petitioners must know what they are signing; when a petition contains alterations, it cannot be known if the petitioners signed it before or after the alterations were made, and whether those alterations might have affected their decision to support and sign the petition. I find, then, that the petition is out of order. I would point out that it is the responsibility of each member presenting a petition to ensure that it complies with the Standing Orders. I encourage Members who have a question about the orderliness of a petition to solicit the advice of the Table so that the situation faced by the Member for Grey-Owen Sound could be avoided. |
