Committee Motion 179-18(3): Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act – Clause 14.1, Ruled Out of Order
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 84)

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. O'Reilly, this motion is out of order on two counts. It is being moved at the incorrect time. It is a new clause, and it should be moved at the end of the bill. It is also beyond the scope of this bill, as the bill does not touch on reporting. The motion is out of order. Clause 14. Mr. Beaulieu.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 84)

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Right now, we are discussing the committee report. We will have an opportunity to discuss further issues as we move through the report. The chair will likely make a number of recommendations. Then, we have two bills to go through. There will be opportunity to discuss individual clauses there. I just want to let committee know that there is plenty of time to get your comments out. Anything further? General comments on the report? Ms. Green.
