Mr. Hastings moved, |
M. Hastings propose, |
|
Second Reading of Bill 4, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act to provide a tax credit for contributions to registered education savings plans. |
Deuxième lecture du projet de loi 4, Loi modifiant la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu en vue de prévoir un crédit d'impôt pour les cotisations versées à un régime enregistré d'épargne-études. |
|
During the debate, on a point of order being raised concerning the orderliness of the Bill with respect to Standing Order 56, the Deputy Speaker recessed the House for 5 minutes. |
|
|
Upon his return, citing the following from the ruling of the Speaker of June 4, 1998, |
|
|
"With respect to the orderliness of [the Bill], it does not impose a tax; indeed, it does the opposite in alleviating a tax. It does not specifically allocate public funds; its passage may cause the government to forego a certain amount of revenue, and thereby impose a burden on the Consolidated Revenue Fund, but this equates only indirectly to an expenditure. There are ample precedents fully supporting the permissibility of such a proposal." |
|
|
the Deputy Speaker found the Bill to be in order. |
|
|
The debate continued and at 11:00 a.m., further proceedings were reserved until 12:00 noon. |
Le débat se poursuit et à 11 h, la suite du débat est réservée jusqu'à midi. |

The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-
I beg to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 69(b), the House Leader of the Third Party, the Member for Niagara Centre, has notified the Clerk of his intention to file notice of a reasoned amendment to the motion for Second Reading of Bill 13, An Act to resolve labour disputes affecting the Toronto District School Board and the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board.
The Order for Second Reading of Bill 13 may therefore not be called today.
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-
Earlier today, the Member for Eglinton-Lawrence, Mr. Colle, provided me with written notice of a point of privilege, as required by Standing Order 21(c). I would like to thank the Member for giving me sufficient time to carefully review this matter.
I wish to advise that I will be deciding on this matter without further hearing directly from the Member at this time, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do.
The Member's point of privilege relates to difficulties he has encountered in attempting to obtain property assessment information for properties within his electoral district, from the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation, OPAC.
The Member alleges that OPAC's lack of cooperation in this matter has frustrated his ability to carry out his duties as an MPP and is therefore a breach of privilege.
In similar previous instances, and as recently in this House as October 16, 2000, Speakers have consistently found -- supported by the procedural authorities and a multitude of precedents -- that privilege attaches only to a Member's parliamentary duties, and not to subsidiary duties away from Parliament.
Citation 92 in the 6th Edition of Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms states that,
"A valid claim of privilege in respect to interference with a Member must relate to the Member's parliamentary duties and not to the work the Member does in relation to that Member's constituency."
The matter raised by the Member for Eglinton-Lawrence clearly relates to activities outside of this Chamber and are unconnected with the Member's parliamentary duties.
Therefore, I find that a prima facie case of privilege has not been established.
