The Speaker informed the House, |
Le Président a informé la Chambre, | ||
That the following document was tabled:- |
Que le document suivant a été déposé :- | ||
The 2011-2012 Annual Report from the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario entitled Losing Our Touch (Part 2) (Sessional Paper No. 200). | |||
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :- | ||
The Member for Beaches–East York has given me written notice of his intention to raise a point of privilege relating to the lighting levels in the Legislative Chamber. I will deal with this point of privilege without hearing from the Member as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do. I believe he may know that the matter he raises does not fall under the defined heads of privilege enjoyed by members of this House. Any Member seeking to draw attention to any failure or deficiency of equipment or furnishings in this Chamber may do so by advising the Sergeant–at–Arms, the Clerk or myself privately. | |||
The Speaker delivered the following ruling:- |
Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :- | ||
The Member for Nickel Belt has given me written notice of her intention to raise a point of privilege, relating to the question of whether a witness who gave testimony to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts on the Ornge Air Ambulance issue, is now being intimidated or retaliated against as a result of that testimony. In her notice, the Member advises me that the Public Accounts Committee as a whole had considered and was concerned by this matter, and had earlier taken steps to begin to deal with it prior to the lapsing of the Committee's membership on September 9. In the interim, the file has evolved and the Member now seeks to bring the matter before the House in the face of the unavailability of the committee to deal with the new information. I want to advise the Member for Nickel Belt that I will deal with this point of privilege without hearing further from the Member, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do. | |||
Notwithstanding the Member's stated conundrum that, while committee matters need to be dealt with in committee, there is currently no committee membership to do so, nevertheless it must be the committee that deals first with this matter. If I were to presume to rule on this matter now, I would effectively be substituting my judgment for the Committee's, which would have intimate knowledge I don't have of all the nuances involved. I would also be substituting my judgment for that of the House, which is first entitled to receive reports from its committees on such matters, and to determine the method of dealing with them. I acknowledge that the current committee situation is unusual; however I have to assume that committees will eventually be struck and at that time the Standing Committee on Public Accounts may wish to deal with the serious issue that the Member has raised with me. For these reasons I must rule that the proposed point of privilege is premature. | |||
