The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
Le Président a rendu la décision suivante:- |
|
Yesterday, the member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke introduced Bill 174, An Act to amend the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act with respect to matching rebates of gasoline tax that the Minister provides to municipalities. An examination of this bill has shown that it is largely similar in all meaningful respects to another bill already fully dealt with by this House in this Session. Both bills propose a mechanism and a calculating formula for some municipalities to receive equitable rebates of gasoline tax revenue for certain purposes, in comparison with other municipalities that receive such rebates for different purposes. This earlier bill, Bill 38, An Act to amend the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act with respect to the assistance that the Minister provides to municipalities, was also sponsored by the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. The Member selected the bill as his ballot item for Private Members' Public Business, and Bill 38 was subsequently considered on May 1, 2008. The motion for Second Reading was lost on a recorded division that day. The close similarity between the 2 bills has caused me to consider the provisions of Standing Order 52, which states "No motion, or amendment, the subject-matter of which has been decided upon, can be again proposed during the same Session." The principle behind this rule is that the House, having once in a Session made its decision on a matter, should not again be asked, nor should it devote the time to, considering that same matter. While these 2 bills differ slightly in the calculating formula proposed, this in my opinion does not rise to the status of being substantively different questions. The House has decided this matter in principle on May 1 of last year, and it will not therefore be possible for the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke to bring Bill 174 forward in the current Session. I am aware that the Member's ballot item for Private Members' Public Business falls this Thursday. Given that the House waived the requirement for notice for this ballot item on April 22, the opportunity exists for the Member for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke to bring forward another matter to be considered this Thursday. |
