VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS

OF THE

Legislative Assembly of British Columbia

Wednesday, June 22, 1994

Two o'clock p.m.

Prayers by Mr. Neufeld.

The Speaker delivered his reserved decision as follows:

Honourable Members:

Yesterday the Honourable Member for Okanagan East rose under Standing Order 35 to ask leave to make a motion for the adjournment of the House.

I have examined the statement which was given to the Chair following the Honourable Member's application and it is clear that the matter involved is presently before the Courts.

I quote from Parliamentary Practice in British Columbia, 2nd edition at page 45, "A sub judice matter cannot be raised on a motion under Standing Order 35."

Accordingly, the Honourable Member's motion must fail.

Emery Barnes, Speaker
