The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- Yesterday, the member for Scarborough-Agincourt (Mr. Phillips) introduced a bill entitled "Fairness for Taxpayers Bill The more days in the House for the Premier and Fewer Cheap Photo Ops Act" which stands on today's Orders and Notices Paper as Bill 46. Aside from various other difficulties I have with it, this bill was introduced in unilingual format only, which is contrary to subsection 3(2) of the French Language Services Act, 1986. I must therefore advise the House that this bill contravenes Standing Order 33(d) and will be removed from the Orders and Notices Paper. |
