TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2026 | MARDI 27 OCTOBRE 2026 |
Pursuant to Standing Order 123(c), | Conformément à l’article 123 c) du Règlement, |
The Speaker delivered the following ruling to the Chair of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies on June 17, 2026: | Le 17 juin 2026 la présidente a rendu la décision suivante à la présidente du Comité permanent des organismes gouvernementaux : |
On June 11, 2026, I received a report of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies arising out of the Committee’s proceedings that same day. The Committee reported its decision to appeal a ruling of the Committee Chair on a matter of order. As the House currently stands adjourned until October 27, 2026, the report was delivered to me and filed with the Clerk pursuant to Standing Order 123(c). In its report, the Committee outlined the matter of order, and the subsequent Chair’s ruling, so I will offer only a brief summary here. On June 3, 2026, the day after the House adjourned, the Sub-committee on Committee Business met and decided the following: “That pursuant to Standing Order 110(f)(13), the Committee meet to consider Intended Appointments not yet considered, which have been selected for review at the following times:
This decision was made by the Sub-committee in accordance with Standing Order 110(f)(13), which provides as follows: “During any adjournment of the House that exceeds 1 week, the Committee shall meet on such day or days as may be determined by the Sub-committee, but in any event not more than 3 times per month.” On June 4, the Committee convened for its first meeting in accordance with this decision. During the meeting, MPP Smith (Thornhill), on a point of order, expressed her view that the full committee has the authority to amend or overturn the decision of the Sub-committee, and later moved the following motion: “that the Standing Committee on Government Agencies rescind the decision of the subcommittee on committee business to schedule further meetings during the current adjournment of the House; and That the Clerk of the Committee be directed to cancel all remaining notices of meetings arising from that decision.” The Chair expressed uncertainty about the orderliness of the motion and heard submissions from Members before reserving her decision. On June 11, the Chair ruled the motion to be out of order, after which the Committee voted to appeal the ruling to the Speaker. Following my review of the Committee report, the Standing Orders, precedents and relevant authorities, I provide my decision as follows. I will begin with an overview of the processes by which the Committee’s reviews of intended appointments are scheduled, which are outlined under Standing Order 110(f). This is necessary because, as the Chair explained in her ruling, the Sub-committee plays a unique role. To summarize the various roles:
By long-standing practice, the time allotted to reviews has been standardized at 30 minutes per review. Additionally, the responsibility for setting the dates for the reviews has been delegated to the Clerk for the practical reason that intended appointees are not always available at a particular time. Nevertheless, the Committee is entitled by the Standing Order to receive the Sub-committee’s reports and upon this receipt, determine the days on which the selected reviews will be conducted. In her submission, the Member for Thornhill pointed to the reports of the Sub-committee regarding selections for review, and the Committee’s adoption of those reports, as evidence of the Committee’s general authority over the decisions of the Sub-committee. In response, the Chair flagged a difference in the language between paragraph 4 of the Standing Order, which provides for a Sub-committee report to the full Committee on the intended appointees selected for review, and paragraph 13, which does not include an equivalent provision. I find that this is an important distinction, which settles this particular question. The Member for Thornhill also argued as follows (at pages A-197 and A-198 of the Committee Hansard): “While the Sub-committee of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies has specific administrative responsibilities under Standing Order 110(f), that does not change the fundamental relationship between the Sub-committee and the Committee. The Sub-committee remains a subordinate body… …a member of the standing committee ought to be able to move a motion at a duly constituted meeting to rescind the Sub-committee’s decision to schedule future meetings during the current adjournment and to direct that the remaining notices of meetings be cancelled… …An interpretation that prevents the full committee from reviewing the decision of its Sub-committee would elevate the Sub-committee to an authority greater than the committee itself, without clear language in the standing orders.” In reviewing this argument, I have considered the relationship between committees and sub-committees, both in respect of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies in particular, and more broadly. The Member for Thornhill is correct in her assertion that, generally speaking, sub-committees are subordinate to committees. Standing Orders 126(a) and 127 both provide that a Sub-committee be appointed from the membership of the full committee and empowered to report to the committee. This is the foundation of the relationship between the two bodies. However, the relationship between the Standing Committee on Government Agencies and its Sub-committee is also governed by the provisions of Standing Order 110(f) in addition to Standing Orders 126(a) and 127. As the Member for Ottawa—Vanier highlighted in her submission on June 4, Standing Order 110(f)(13) does not provide a separate role for the Committee in approving or rejecting the decision of the Sub-committee. In considering the implications of these provisions, I reviewed the Standing Orders in search of other similar delegations of authority. I will draw Members’ attention to Standing Order 63(c), which provides: “The Estimates of the Ministries and Offices shall be considered in the order in which they were selected. The Sub-committee on Committee Business of each committee may, by unanimous agreement, alter the order of consideration.” In the case of the estimates, the selections are made in full committee by Members who represent the recognized parties (rather than by committee vote), and the resulting order of consideration is amended by unanimous agreement of the Sub-committee. Similarly to the current question about the Standing Committee on Government Agencies, it is the sub-committees rather than the standing committees that are empowered to make the decision to change the order of consideration. On this matter, the sub-committee is granted an authority that the full committee itself does not possess. I have also found the following additional examples of direct delegation of authority by the House to particular sub-committees:
“the order of the House… gives the Sub-committee the authority to determine how to proceed with the study. We will not need to vote on this report, but I will read it into the record to make sure all members are aware of the contents.”
In both of these cases, the sub-committee was delegated a specific role by the House, and in neither case was the opportunity for committee review of these decisions explicitly provided for. Does this mean that in adopting these Standing Orders and other Orders the House intended for the sub-committees to have the final decision-making power on these matters? Or, as the Member for Thornhill proposed, are we to assume that, in all cases, the committees have an inherent right to overturn any decision of their sub-committees? In my view, the answer to these questions lies not only in the relationship between sub-committees and full committees, but also in committees’ relationship to the House. Committees are subordinate to the House, established to conduct business as referred and ordered by the House, and to exercise certain powers as delegated by the House. The House also granted to the committees, by way of Standing Orders 126 and 127, the authority to appoint sub-committees on committee business, and to in turn delegate to them decision-making responsibilities about committee business. When this work is delegated by the committees, the committees retain the authority to adopt, vary, or reject the sub-committees’ decisions. It is a different matter when the House directly orders the delegation of a certain responsibility to a sub-committee. In these cases, the authority of the sub-committee is derived not from a delegation of committee authority, but from the House, either by direct Order of the House or by Standing Order, which is a permanent Order of the House. This is supported by House of Commons Procedure and Practice, at paragraph 20.106 of the 4th edition: “Orders of reference and instructions issued by the House to parliamentary committees provide a framework for their proceedings... As they are created by the House, committees have no power to amend or suspend the application of orders of reference or standing orders.” Additionally, as was noted by the Member for Ottawa—Vanier in her submission, Standing Order 110(f)(13) provides that the Committee shall meet as determined by the Sub-committee. When interpreting the rules of the House, the word “shall” is understood to have a different effect than the words “may” or “be authorized to”. When the Standing Orders or other Orders of the House provide that, for example, a committee “shall” conduct and complete a study at a particular time, this is understood to be a mandatory instruction rather than a granting of permission. On the other hand, when the House provides, for example, that a committee “is authorized to meet” at a certain time, this is typically understood to be a granting of permission that may or may not be exercised. Finally, the Chair stated in her ruling that she was unable to find a record of any instance in which the full committee voted to alter or overturn a decision of the Sub-committee made pursuant to Standing Order 110(f)13. This is my finding as well. In nearly 30 years of practice and over a large number of meetings held during adjournment periods, responsibility for determining meetings dates has been consistent with the Standing Order, or otherwise ordered by the House. For all of the above reasons, I find that the Chair of the Standing Committee on Government Agencies was correct in her ruling that the motion moved by the Member for Thornhill was out of order and I confirm that decision. I will note as well that the schedule determined by the Sub-committee on June 3 does not have to be the final decision on the Committee’s meetings for the adjournment period. The Sub-committee is entitled to revise the decision it made under Standing Order 110(f)(13). If Members of the Committee have thoughts about how to better arrange the schedule for the adjournment period, they are welcome to approach the Sub-committee members with their proposals. In reviewing the precedents, I found that in previous Parliaments, it was not uncommon for the Standing Committee on Government Agencies to meet monthly for a few hours at a time to consider intended appointments. Perhaps there is a schedule that would suit the members of the Committee better, and I encourage them to work together to find a solution that will be satisfactory to everyone.

The Speaker addressed the House: | La Présidente s’adresse à l’Assemblée : |
I would like to take a moment to address the House on the allocation of Opposition Days, as I did on April 29 and October 20, 2025. |
As a result of the Order of the House dated June 2, 2026 revising the parliamentary calendar, it will not be possible for the House to conduct the five Opposition Day debates prescribed by Standing Order 45(a) during this fall meeting period. In accordance with the scheduling and notice provisions contained in Standing Orders 45(b) and (c), there may be up to three Opposition Day motions debated this fall. |
In keeping with my previous approach as well as Standing Order 45(b)(iii), the allocation of the available Opposition Day debates will be determined on the basis of the membership of the caucuses relative to each other. Accordingly, two Opposition Days will be allocated to the Official Opposition, and one to the Third Party. |
The Speaker addressed the House: | La Présidente s’adresse à l’Assemblée : |
I would also like to draw Members’ attention to a change on today’s Orders and Notices Paper. As a result of recent appointments to Cabinet, certain Members are no longer eligible to sponsor private legislation. Accordingly, Bill Pr53, An Act to revive J.C.C. Corp., which was introduced by the Member for Eglinton—Lawrence (Hon. Michelle Cooper), and Bill Pr55, An Act to revive London Hydro Holdings Inc., introduced by the Member for Perth—Wellington (Hon. Matthew Rae), currently stand on the Orders and Notices Paper without sponsors. These Bills may not proceed any further in the legislative process unless the House agrees to assign new sponsors to them. |
Thank you for your attention. |
With unanimous consent, | Avec le consentement unanime, |
Ordered, That, notwithstanding Standing Order 82(b), the Order for Third Reading of Bill 119, An Act to enact two new Acts and to amend various other Acts may be called during Orders of the Day this afternoon. |
With unanimous consent to move a motion without notice, | Avec le consentement unanime de proposé une motion sans préavis, |
On motion by Hon. Steve Clark, | Sur la motion de l’hon. Steve Clark, |
Ordered, That the Order of the House dated April 16, 2025, regarding the appointment of presiding officers, be rescinded, and |
That Ric Bresee, Member for the Electoral District of Hastings—Lennox and Addington, be appointed Deputy Speaker and Chair of the Committee of the Whole House; |
