NOTICE OF MOTIONS

Monday, June 5

10 Mr. Symons to move--

Be it resolved that this Legislature urge the Government of Canada to spend at least 50 per cent of the money collected through Federal taxes on automotive fuels on highways in the province of origin.

11 Mr. Symons to move--

Be it resolved that Standing Order 81 of the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia be amended to read:

"Every Bill shall receive three readings, on different days, prior to being passed. After first reading, there shall be a minimum of three sitting days before second reading. After the second reading, it shall be ordered for committal on a subsequent day. Notwithstanding the above, on urgent or extraordinary occasions, a Bill may be read twice or thrice, or advanced two or more stages in one day."

12 Mr. Symons to move--

Be it resolved that this Legislature disapproves of the process by which the Executive Council can make significant alterations to Provincial policy by Order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, thereby bypassing debate in the Legislative Assembly by the elected representatives of the people of British Columbia.
