We
are here today to examine the petition for private Bill No. 906, Lutheran
Collegiate Bible Institute. First we’ll consider the
report on the petitioners’ compliance with rules. The deputy parliamentary
counsel Marie Shalashniy will provide her report. Do
you have any comments?
Ms.
Shalashniy: — All
right. Good morning. I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’m aware it’s December
5th.
So
not much to say other than the rules have been fully complied with. It’s been a
bit of an uphill battle to get this one through, but we were able to carry
forward the requirements that were met in 2022. And this group was a pleasure
to work with. They had legal counsel and it made it very easy for us. Any
questions?
The Chair:
— Are there questions from the committee members? Seeing none, I would like to
table the following report from the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel as PBC
12‑29, Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel: Report on the petitioners’
compliance with rules for petition for private Bill No. 906, dated
November 29th, 2023.
We
are finished reviewing the petition. I would ask a member to move the following
motion:
That the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel’s report
on the petitioners’ compliance with rules for petition for private Bill
No. 906 be accepted.
Is that agreed?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
The
Chair: —
Carried . . . Oh, sorry about that. I recognize Ms. Lambert.
Ms.
Lambert: —
Yes, I’d like to move the motion:
That the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel’s report
on the petitioners’ compliance with rules for petition for private Bill
No. 906 be accepted.
The Chair:
— Is that agreed?
Some Hon. Members:
—
Agreed.
The Chair:
— Carried.
Last item of business is consideration of the
committee report. Are there any questions? Seeing none, I’d ask a member to
move the following motion:
That
this report of the Standing Committee on Private Bills be adopted and presented
to the Assembly.
Ms.
Lambert: —
Yes, I make that motion:
That
the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Private Bills be adopted and
presented to the Assembly.
The
