Councillor Bradford, rising on a Point of Order stated that he would like to refer Administrative Inquiry IA16.2 to the Executive Committee and that he understood that he could not refer the item without a motion to reopen Item MM13.29. Councillor Bradford further stated that, as he had been on the losing side of the vote on MM13.29 when Council originally considered it, and that Councillor Saxe was prepared to move the motion to reopen the item.
Following the introduction of the motion by Councillor Saxe to re-open item MM13.29, Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he would like the Speaker to rule on this matter and place her ruling in writing. Councillor Holyday stated that it is his understanding that the Procedure By-law allows Council two things to do with administrative inquiry, which is either to receive it or to refer it. Councillor Holyday further stated that what Councillor Bradford just described is a slightly different outcome, and this has a chill effect on placing administrative inquiries on matters considered in the last year if a re-opening is required. Councillor Holyday stated he thinks it's really important that Council understands the instructions of this ruling because Members will have to think about that if placing inquiries and have to think about the votes. Councillor Holyday stated that it’s a new piece of information that is relevant to Council.
Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated that what he was asking for was the Chair’s ruling in writing, so that Members could refer to it as it is precedent-setting.
