Point of Order by Councillor Jamaal Myers

Councillor Myers, rising on a Point of Order, stated it’s not possible to do what motion 9b by Councillor Holyday is asking - to implement a 15-cent fare increase by March 1, 2024. Councillor Myers stated he wished to clarify if motion 9b by Councillor Holyday was in order.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and reserved her ruling.

After considering the matter, Speaker Nunziata made the following ruling:

Members, I have reviewed Councillor Holyday’s motions.

I am ruling motions 9a and 9b by Councillor Holyday out of order, as the fare increases cannot be decided or directed by City Council on this item. I am also ruling motion 9f out of order as it constitutes a reopening of a decision made within the last 12 months, which is the Dundas Square matter.


Point of Order by Councillor Stephen Holyday

Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he submitted motions, and some of the wording changed. Councillor Holyday stated one of the motions on Toronto Transit Commission fares was a reduction of the budget and a request to the Board to take those actions to replenish them. Councillor Holyday stated he would be happy to revise them to put the motions in order, and he regrets he didn’t catch that when they went up on the screen.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata (Upheld)
Speaker Nunziata restated her ruling that motions 9a, 9b and 9f by Councillor Holyday are out of order.
Challenged by Councillor Stephen Holyday


Point of Order by Councillor Stephen Holyday

After the Speaker ruled motions 9c and 9e redundant, Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated he would like the Speaker to elaborate on her ruling. Councillor Holyday stated that the funds drawn from in the motion reflect an allocation from the dividend to the reserve.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and ruled that Council voted on Councillor Morley’s motion to draw on the funds, so Councillor Holyday’s motion is redundant.


Point of Order by Councillor Stephen Holyday

Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated that the dividend is going to the reserve, so he does not understand how a draw from it would rule the motions Out of Order.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and asked the City Clerk to respond.

John Elvidge, City Clerk, advised Council that the operative part in this motion is to transfer the $30 million from the Bridging Fund. Part of the contribution that is in this motion, the 14 million dollars, there is not sufficient funds in the Bridging Fund, after the approval of motion 1 by Councillor Morley to make the contribution of $30 million to the Tax Stabilization Fund.


Point of Order by Councillor Stephen Holyday

Prior to voting on motion 5 by Councillor Bradford, Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated he would like a separate vote on Parts 1 and 2, as he believed the clauses each stood on their own.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and ruled that Parts 1 and 2 are not separate and cannot be split. Speaker Nunziata asked the City Clerk to respond.

John Elvidge, City Clerk, advised Council that the vote on Parts 1 and 2 cannot be separated because the parts are consequential - Part 2 refers to a corresponding reduction. The two items are linked and cannot be split. They cannot stand on their own - if Part 1 were to lose, Part 2 makes no sense.
