Councillor James Pasternak, rising on a Point of Order, stated that PH5.3 was a key item and to schedule it on Friday afternoon when Council's by-law clearly says that Council must adjourn early - that item is going to take many hours to complete and he wants to vote against Councillor Carroll's motion.

Councillor Gord Perks, rising on a Point of Order, during the Member Motions run down, stated that it used to be the practice that when Councillors had Member Motions they would receive a sheet from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer giving them the financial implications of the motions, and that he had not seen that in a couple of meetings. Councillor Perks further stated that he was wondering if Council could go back to that practice as a couple of the holds he has is simply because he does not know what the financial implications are.

Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Order, stated that the consolidated document they used to receive was of great assistance, and he was just wondering if Council could go back to that practice.

Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he needs more than private assurances, he needs a document, and he would ask if Council could go back to that practice.
