Just a few mins ago, Mike Farnworth, the NDP Opposition House Leader & NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam, just moved the following amendment to Bill 9 (Consumption Tax Rebate and Transition Act):
BE IT RESOLVED --
THAT Bill 9 be not now read a second time, but the subject-matter of Bill 9 be referred to the Select Standing Committee on Finance & Government Services and the Committee be empowered to invite witnesses to assist in its' deliberations
I have no doubt that government MLA's will vote against this amendment. I'm also curious as to when the government will invoke closure on 2nd Reading of Bill 9. I suspect given the provincial government's wish to have Bill 9 by May 1st, the Government House Leader will give notice to close 2nd Reading Debate on Bill 9 by April 26th
