The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
I beg to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 71(b), the Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke has notified the Clerk of his intention to file notice of a reasoned amendment to the motion for Second Reading of Bill 141, An Act to amend the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

The Order for Second Reading of Bill 141 may therefore not be called today. |
The Speaker addressed the House as follows:- |
I beg to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 71(c), the Member for Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke has filed notice of a reasoned amendment to the motion for Second Reading of Bill 140, An Act to enact the Housing Services Act, 2010, repeal the Social Housing Reform Act, 2000 and make complementary and other amendments to other Acts.

ORAL QUESTIONS |
QUESTIONS ORALES |
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :- |
The Member for Dufferin–Caledon (Ms. Jones) has provided me with notice of her intention to raise a point of privilege. I want to advise that I will be ruling on this matter without hearing further directly from the Member, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do. The Member raises with me the same issue that has already been raised several other times in the recent past, namely the matter of government announcements being made outside of this Chamber. Specifically, the Member refers to yesterday’s statement by the Minister of Community and Social Services concerning the formation of a Social Assistance Review Committee. As has been ruled on numerous occasions, the Speaker has no jurisdiction over announcements that are made in other places, nor can he compel that announcements be made only in the Chamber. | |
While I appreciate that the Member feels aggrieved that the announcement she refers to was made outside the House, and Speakers have certainly expressed the consistent view that important announcements should first be made to the Legislative Assembly, what she has brought forward does not rise to a prima facie case of privilege. | |
