The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-
On Wednesday, May 10, 2000, the member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke (Mr. Conway) raised a point of privilege with respect to the Special Report on Disclosure of Personal Information by the Province of Ontario Savings Office, Ministry of Finance, which was presented to the House on April 26, 2000 by the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
In raising his point of privilege, the Member argued that various officials inside the Ministry of Finance and elsewhere have perpetrated a contempt on this Legislature by frustrating an investigation undertaken by the Information and Privacy Commissioner. He refers to the Commissioner's report in which she outlines the difficulties experienced by her Office in conducting her investigation. The Member quoted the Commissioner as follows: "In our view, the Ministry endeavored to restrict the scope of the investigation and the investigative tools available to the IPC. Attempts to interview current and former government officials . . . were met with protracted negotiations and resulted in key individuals refusing to be interviewed."
The Government House Leader provided a written submission on this point in which he argued that there is no prima facie case of privilege because the Ministry of Finance cooperated with the Information and Privacy Commissioner at all times. He further states that the Ministry not only met its statutory obligations to participate in the investigation, but also went beyond its legal requirements and encouraged its employees and all involved to assist the Commissioner in her work.
The member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke requested that I review the matters raised for a determination that they "constitute a prima facie case of contempt."
With respect to both Members and officers of the House, Erskine May has this to say on the matter of contempt:
"Generally speaking, any act or omission which obstructs or impedes either House of Parliament in the performance of its functions, or which obstructs or impedes any Member or officer of such House in the discharge of his duty, or which has a tendency, directly or indirectly, to produce such results may be treated as a contempt even though there is no precedent of the offence."
Section 46 of our own Legislative Assembly Act sets out the jurisdiction of this House to inquire into and punish, as breaches of privilege or as contempts, a number of matters, including: "Assault upon or interference with an officer of the Assembly while in the execution of his or her duty."
In light of those authorities, I have carefully considered the arguments put forward by the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke as well as the arguments submitted in writing by the Government House Leader. In addition I have read the Commissioner's Report.
What I am left with are two opposing points of view - one that speaks of cooperation within the law and another that speaks to obstruction and reticence. I am not in a position to determine who is right and who is wrong and can only acknowledge that an unhelpful conflict of opinion exists.
My role and my duty is simply, as outlined by Maingot at page 221 of the 2nd Edition of Parliamentary Privilege in Canada, to determine if "the evidence on its face as outlined by the member is sufficiently strong for the House to be asked to debate the matter and to send it to a committee to investigate..." The role of the Speaker does not extend to deciding the question of substance or whether a contempt has in fact occurred. That is ultimately for the House to decide.
What I have to determine is whether or not a prima facie case of contempt has been established. The question for the Speaker is whether the matter is of such a character as to entitle the Member who has raised it to move a motion to have it considered further at committee.
In considering that question, I find the very fact that an Officer of this House, a person selected by this parliament and sworn to faithfully discharge her duties to this House, has taken the extraordinary step of advising us that the authority of her office was disregarded and discounted to the extent that she was "unable to conduct a full and complete investigation", is in and of itself a challenge to the supremacy of this House, from which she draws that authority.
In official business dealings with an officer of this House, individuals owe an obligation of accountability to parliament. That our own officer advises that the opposite was the case is sufficient cause in my mind to find that a prima facie case of contempt of parliament has been made out. How could it be otherwise? The Privacy Commissioner's sole loyalty is to this House, manifested in her trusted discharge of the role and functions assigned to her, by us, in the Act.
At the end of the day it may very well be that in this instance, the Commissioner's inability to "conduct a full and complete investigation" emanates, as is argued by the Government House Leader, from a lack of statutory power. That may very well be the crux of the question as to whether or not a contempt occurred. But again, I am only charged with determining whether a prima facie case has been made out.
Having so found, I now recognize the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke and invite him to move the motion of which he gave notice last Wednesday, which would very simply refer this matter to committee for consideration.
|
Mr. Conway then moved, |
Ensuite, M. Conway propose, |
|
That, in light of the Speaker's ruling that there is a prima facie case of contempt, the Special Report to this Legislature made on the 26th of April, 2000 by the Information and Privacy Commissioner, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, concerning disclosures of personal information made by the Province of Ontario Savings Office in the Ministry of Finance and the obstruction the Commissioner encountered in the course of her investigation, be referred to the Standing Committee of the Legislative Assembly for its immediate consideration. |
|
|
A debate arising, after some time pursuant to Standing Order 9(a), the motion for the adjournment of the debate was deemed to have been made and carried. |
Un débat s'ensuit et après quelque temps, conformément à l'article 9(a) du Règlement, la motion d'ajournement du débat est réputée avoir été proposée et adoptée. |

The House then adjourned at 6:00 p.m. |
