Councillor Carroll, rising on a Point of Order, stated that she wished to know, given all the time-specificity, if there was a procedural impediment to having Councillors, as with any other motion, email Centre Table the day before so that some of these conflicts could be resolved for this morning so that Council wouldn’t spend the better part of an hour re-ordering the agenda.

Councillor Carroll, rising on a Point of Order, stated that in her experience this happens often and that she wished to know if there was a reason Councillors couldn’t send their motions in advance.
