ORDERS OF THE DAY	ORDRE DU JOUR

A debate arose on the motion for Third Reading of Bill 16, An Act to implement 2010 Budget measures and to enact or amend various Acts.	Il s'élève un débat sur la motion portant troisième lecture du projet de loi 16, Loi mettant en oeuvre certaines mesures énoncées dans le Budget de 2010 et édictant ou modifiant diverses lois.
After some time, pursuant to the Order of the House of April 21, 2010, the question having been put, the Acting Speaker (Mrs. Munro) declared her opinion that the Ayes had it, and a recorded vote having been demanded, the Acting Speaker then addressed the House as follows:-	Après quelque temps, conformément à l'ordre adopté par l'Assemblée le 21 avril 2010, la motion mise aux voix, la présidente par intérim (Mme Munro), déclare qu'à son avis les voix favorables l'emportent et un vote par appel nominal ayant été demandé, ensuite, la Présidente par intérim s'adresse à l'Assemblée en ces mots:-
Pursuant to Standing Order 9(c), the vote on the motion for Third Reading of Bill 16 is deferred until "Deferred Votes" today.	Conformément à l'article 9 c) du Règlement, le vote sur la motion portant troisième lecture du projet de loi 16 est différé jusqu'aux «Votes différés» aujourd'hui.


At 10:01 a.m., the Government House Leader indicated that no further business would be called this morning and therefore the Acting Speaker recessed the House.

10:30 A.M.	10 H 30


The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-	Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :-
On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, the Member for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound (Mr. Murdoch) rose on a point of order arising out of Question Period. The Member for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound asked a question of the Acting Premier who immediately referred the question to the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, the supplementary was also answered by the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. The Member for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound attempted to file his notice of dissatisfaction to a response by the Acting Premier, and argued that her referral of his question to the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure was technically a response. The Member asked for some clarification on the rules and practice respecting this issue. I have had a chance to review the point of order, and I would like to remind all Members that Standing Order 37(e) states the following: (e) A minister to whom an oral question is directed may refer the question to another minister who is responsible for the subject-matter to which the question relates. The Acting Premier referred the question, which dealt with renewable energy and industrial wind farms to the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, as the rule allows.
I also refer the Members to Standing Order 38(a): (a) The Speaker’s rulings relating to oral questions are not debatable or subject to appeal. However, a member who is not satisfied with the response to an oral question, or who has been told that his or her question is not urgent or of public importance, may give notice orally at the end of the Oral Question Period that he or she intends to raise the subject-matter of the question on the adjournment of the House and must give written notice to the Speaker and file reasons for dissatisfaction with the Clerk before 12:00 noon, and the Speaker shall, not later than 4:00 p.m., indicate the matter or matters to be raised at the time of adjournment that day.
A notice of dissatisfaction on a question for adjournment proceedings (late show) must be filed with the Minister who responded to the question, therefore if the Member for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound was not satisfied with the response that the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure provided, then he would have been well within the rules to file his notice of dissatisfaction with the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. In support of this, let me also make reference to a June 3, 1993 ruling given by Speaker Warner, in which he responded to a similar point of order by confirming that a notice of dissatisfaction can only be directed to the minister who responded to the question and not the minister who referred the question. The referral of the question by the Acting Premier did not amount to a response to the Member for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound’s question. The response and supplementary by the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, however, did.
