Dear Mrs. Deller:

A Writ of Election dated the Fifteenth day of January, 2014, was issued by the Honourable Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Ontario, and was addressed to Anna Di Ruscio, Returning Officer for the Electoral District of Thornhill, for the election of a Member to represent the said Electoral District of Thornhill in the Legislative Assembly of this Province in the room of Peter Shurman who, since his election as representative of the said Electoral District of Thornhill, has resigned his seat. This is to certify that, a poll having been granted and held in Thornhill on the Thirteenth day of February, 2014, Gila Martow has been returned as duly elected as appears by the Return of the said Writ of Election, dated the Twenty-first day of February, 2014, which is now lodged of record in my office.

Madame,

Un décret de convocation des électeurs et des électrices a été émis le quinzième jour de janvier 2014 par l’honorable lieutenant-gouverneur de la province de l’Ontario à l’adresse de Anna Di Ruscio, directrice du scrutin de la circonscription électorale de Thornhill, en vue de l’élection d’un député pour représenter ladite circonscription électorale de Thornhill à l’Assemblée législative de la province à la place de Peter Shurman qui, depuis son élection à titre de député de ladite circonscription électorale de Thornhill, a démissionné. Nous attestons par la présente qu’un scrutin ayant été décidé et tenu dans Thornhill le treizième jour de février 2014, Gila Martow a été dûment élue, tel qu’en fait foi le rapport de ladite élection, en date du vingt et unième jour de février 2014, qui a été déposé au registre de mon bureau.

Toronto, February 24, 2014

(Sessional Paper No. 292)

GREG ESSENSA

DIRECTEUR GÉNÉRAL DES ÉLECTIONS

Toronto, le 24 février 2014

(Document parlementaire no 292)

Gila Martow, Member for the Electoral District of Thornhill, having taken the Oath and subscribed the Roll, took her seat.

Gila Martow, député de la circonscription électorale de Thornhill, ayant prêté serment et signé le registre, a pris son siège.

The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :-

On February 19, the Member for Timmins-James Bay raised a point of privilege relating to an unsuccessful attempt the day before by the Member for Prince Edward-Hastings, during Introduction of Bills, to receive unanimous consent to have his just-introduced Bill 156 immediately called for Second and Third Reading.

The Member for Timmins-James Bay noted that an open letter was later issued by the Member for Prince Edward-Hastings that asserted it was a member, or members, of the New Democratic caucus who said "no" to the request for unanimous consent.

The Member for Timmins-James Bay took particular offense to this because he asserted that his caucus was in fact in favour of the request for unanimous consent and therefore no member of the NDP would have, or did, say "no". For his part, the Member for Prince Edward-Hastings said it was and remains his honest belief that there were "noes" from the NDP caucus and that the opposite cannot be proven. And this, of course, is exactly the point of the matter - I think it is sufficient to state the obvious, that being, that on a request for unanimous consent no recording of the ayes and nays is made and therefore no record exists of which member or members might have declined their consent. The Speaker simply hears at least one "no" and the House moves on. It is therefore dangerous to make allegations about requests for unanimous consent, and even more so to attribute motive for the perceived refusal, since by their nature requests for unanimous consent are handled without debate and therefore without any opportunity for a member to state a position for or against.

It is important to note that requests for unanimous consent are required when a deviation from the Standing Orders is being sought. This is not a trivial thing, and it is perfectly within the right of any member to object, and no justification needs to be made for doing so. In the case of the request by the Member for Prince Edward-Hastings, his bill had just been introduced and no other member of the Assembly had even seen it yet. From my perspective it seems a bit unfair to put other members in that position, and uncharitable to criticise when the House does not blindly agree. In saying this, I note that more and more we seem to be seeing requests for unanimous consent that in my opinion are frankly engineered to be declined, so that some sort of political advantage can be taken by the so-called "aggrieved party" that did not get its way. I can't say that I approve of this when it occurs but I also have to note that during my Speakership I have seen this tactic used by all parties in this House and I am satisfied enough by the evidence before me that this is another one of those instances. Being the victim of an ill-advised but all-too-common political tactic does not rise to an abuse of any parliamentary privilege.

I do not want to seem dismissive of the point raised by the Member for Timmins-James Bay, however, and want to address the ruling from the Canadian House of Commons that the Member for Timmins-James Bay pointed out. As that ruling makes clear, it could amount to a breach of privilege if anyone, including a member of this Assembly, were to deliberately misrepresent parliamentary proceedings, whatever the motivation for doing so, or its result. In this case, there are no actual vote records involved since, as I pointed out, none are recorded on requests for unanimous consent. The Members for Timmins-James Bay and Prince Edward-Hastings are left having a dispute that the Speaker cannot resolve. I therefore cannot find that a prima facie case has been made out.
