2nd Reading

On 15 September 2015, the debate on Bill 106 started on its second reading. The MPPs who wished to talk on the Bill had twenty minutes.

Some of the Liberals shared their time with other Liberals either because they had little to add to the debate or because, as one opposition MPP remarked, they were deliberately adding to the members who spoke so they could cut the debate early. Perhaps it was for both reasons.

On 07 October, after being debated over an eight-day period, the Bill passed second reading and it was forwarded to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs

Mr. Mike Colle called the question, stating in part:
"I think we’ve got to go forward, and it is important at this time that we bring in all of the experts, all of the stakeholders to bring forward their ideas on how to improve this bill. We’ve got to open up to the public this discussion on making this act a good one. We’ve got to bring the public in as soon as we can.
(Emphasis added)

Therefore, at this time, Mr. Speaker, we need to refer this to committee as soon as possible. Bring in the public. As a result, I move that the question be now put."

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Paul Miller): Further debate?

Mr. Mike Colle: Point of order.

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Paul Miller): Point of order.

Mr. Mike Colle: Mr. Speaker, in case you didn’t hear me: I move that the question be now put.

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Paul Miller): The member from Eglinton–Lawrence has moved that the question now be put. I’m personally satisfied that there has been sufficient debate to allow the question to be put to the House. Shall the motion carry? I heard a no.

All those in favour, please say “aye.”

All those opposed, say “nay.”

In my opinion, the ayes have it.

This vote will be taken during deferred votes.
