The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

On Thursday, May 14, the member for Etobicoke-Rexdale introduced a bill entitled "An Act to amend the Education Act and the Income Tax Act to provide a tax credit for private sector investment in classroom technology".

After the bill received first reading, the member for Algoma rose on a point of order to draw the attention of the House to his contention that the title of the bill strongly pointed in the direction of the bill being out of order for the reason, in the member's words, "that this is an attempt by a member who is not part of the government bench to introduce a tax measure, that this is a bill that would provide for a tax credit, which only a member of the treasury bench can introduce in the House...".

Because the bill had only just then been introduced and given first reading, no member of the House, except for the sponsor, had seen the bill, including myself. I committed to review the bill once it had been printed and distributed, which I have done, and to report back on this issue.

Standing Order 56 states "any bill, resolution, motion or address, the passage of which would impose a tax or specifically direct the allocation of public funds, shall not be passed by the House unless recommended by a message from the Lieutenant Governor, and shall be proposed only by a minister of the Crown."

With respect to the orderliness of Bill 24, it does not impose a tax; indeed, it does the opposite in alleviating a tax. It does not specifically allocate public funds; its passage may cause the government to forego a certain amount of revenue, and thereby impose a burden on the Consolidated Revenue Fund, but this equates only indirectly to an expenditure. There are ample precedents fully supporting the permissibility of such a proposal.

I therefore find the bill to be in order.
