The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-
On Tuesday, June 20, the Member for Parkdale-High Park, Mr. Kennedy, provided me with written material intended to supplement another point he had originally raised earlier in June, and on which I delivered a ruling on June 21. The earlier point did not specifically address this new supplementary material.
The earlier point related to radio advertisements placed by the government on the subject of Bill 74, the Education Accountability Act. The supplementary material deals with a memorandum from the Assistant Deputy Minister of Education to Directors of Education throughout the province, also on the subject of Bill 74.
The Member for Parkdale-High Park asserted that the terminology used by the Assistant Deputy Minister in the memorandum was definitive in its descriptions of the changes being made in the education system, and did not qualify that those changes still required the passage of Bill 74 to become effective. At the time the memo was written, June 9, the Bill was still in the Standing Committee on Justice and Social Policy, and was in fact 11 days away from its eventual passage, and 14 days from Royal Assent.
As a result, the Member alleged that the memorandum presumed the outcome of public hearings still in progress, and presumed that the Bill would not only be passed by the House, but without further changes. Reference is made to a 1997 ruling by Speaker Stockwell, in which he found that government advertisements which similarly conveyed that a legislative outcome was a foregone conclusion constituted a prima facie contempt of the House. The Member concluded that the current memorandum does the same and is therefore a similar violation of his privileges.
I have very carefully reviewed the memorandum in question. It does indeed use language that fails to convey the conditions that still must be met before the changes it describes will be in effect, that is, the remainder of the legislative process and ultimate approval by the House at Third Reading. It does not do so in a way that contemptuously dismisses the Legislature's superior role, since it makes no reference to that role at all. That, though, is an important point - in many similar instances, previous Speakers have warned that care must be taken when describing proposed legislative changes to ensure they are described as just that - proposed changes which have not yet received legislative sanction. It is regrettable that we continue to see such communications as the one at hand. The Member for Parkdale-High Park has certainly identified a genuine grievance, and I will again issue a caution to the civil service on this count.
Notwithstanding my concern, however, I cannot find that the memorandum in question constitutes a prima facie case of contempt or a violation of the Member's privileges.
In the first instance, unlike broad-spectrum government advertising, the audience for this memo is not strictly speaking a public one; it is a group of education insiders, administrators with a specific need for the information being conveyed to them. This group would or should know that the proposed changes were in the system but still subject to final approval, even though the memo did not say so.
Secondly, this group would need to commence plans to implement the proposed changes, even if only on a contingency basis, on the supposition that they would pass the Legislature and would be in effect with the start of the following school year.
Thirdly, and most importantly, this same requirement to plan in advance applies to the staff of the Ministry of Education, who were obligated to ensure that their partners in the education system were aware of the details of the proposed changes so that prudent planning would take place. Even though they were still to be formally made, planning for the changes is a legitimate and necessary activity. As Speaker Edighoffer said in a similar situation, at page 273 of the Journals for December 20, 1989, "(i)t is perfectly valid for the Public Service to proceed with plans based on a bill that is already in the system in order to be able to act swiftly, once that bill becomes law."
Though it unfortunately fails to accord due deference to the Legislative Assembly and the legislative process, of which I strongly disapprove, the memorandum does represent a legitimate activity as described by Speaker Edighoffer.
I therefore find that a prima facie case of privilege has not been made out.
