Quigley (Minister for Commerce), and read a first time. Explanatory memorandum presented by the minister. Second Reading MR J.R. QUIGLEY (Butler — Minister for Commerce) [6.52 pm]: I move — That the bill be now read a second time. The bill I am introducing today is essential to support the continuity of commercial tenancies, during what is likely to be a period of significant social and economic upheaval for all Western Australians. The social and economic health and wellbeing of Western Australians is the government’s highest priority as we face the significant challenges presented to us by the spread of COVID-19. On 29 March 2020, the national cabinet announced that a moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent would be applied across commercial tenancies impacted by financial distress due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. On 3 April 2020, the national cabinet announced a set of common principles to provide protections and relief for tenants in relation to commercial tenancies, and on 7 April 2020, it endorsed the mandatory code of conduct, the National Cabinet Mandatory Code of Conduct for SME Commercial Leasing Principles during COVID-19, aimed at mitigating and limiting the hardship suffered by the community as a result of the spread of COVID-19 in our state and across the nation.

HONEY (Cottesloe) [4.27 pm]: — without notice: I move — That so much of standing orders be suspended as is necessary to enable the following motion to be moved forthwith — That this house requires the Minister for Transport to table evidence of an allegation of bullying and intimidation by the member for Riverton toward the Mayor of Nedlands, given that he did not speak to the mayor at the event in question; and, if she cannot, the house will require her to immediately apologise for defaming the member for Riverton and misleading the Parliament of Western Australia. I understand that the acting Leader of the House has agreed to this and has agreed on times for the motion. Standing Orders Suspension — Amendment to Motion MRS M.H. ROBERTS (Midland — Minister for Police) [4.27 pm]: Although I do not believe that there is any substance to the motion, we are prepared to hear what the opposition has to say. I move — To insert after “forthwith” — , subject to the debate being limited to 10 minutes for government members and 10 minutes for non-government members Amendment put and passed. Standing Orders Suspension — Motion, as Amended The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr T.J. Healy): As this is a motion without notice to suspend standing orders, it will need an absolute majority in order to succeed.

  • Slow Senate Start Amid Pandemic a Lesson to Limit Delay Tactics, Says
    Fourni par InfoMédia http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/parl Provided by NewsDesk Publié | Published: 2020-11-04 Hill Times Reçu | Received: 2020-11-04 00:01 (HNE) Slow Senate start amid pandemic a lesson to limit delay tactics, says CSG leader 'Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it,' says Sen. Scott Tannas. Samantha Wright Allen With Senators finally nailing down hybrid sittings and striking committees after months of disagreement that led to limited work during the pandemic, one Senate leader says his colleagues have learned their lesson about capitulating to procedural delays and will likely have "little patience" for such tactics going forward. "Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it. A lot of people are tired of it," said Canadian Senators Group Leader Scott Tannas. One example of that inside baseball played out on Oct. 29, said the Alberta Senator, with the long path to setting up committees coming to an end. The agreement guarantees allocated committee seats stay with various groups rather than individual Senators, which some said leaves powers in leaders' hands and violates the rules granting rights to Senators. The Progressive Senate Group (PSG), the smallest of the four recognized groups, said the vote in the Chamber-held before hybrid sittings were instituted-was done at the expense of giving all Senators a voice, while the other three groups said a clear majority supported the move.

Redistribution Gains Karana Downs from Ryan, reducing the margin from 8.9% to 8% History Blair was created in 1998.

As local MLA’s for the Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) Board several questions have arisen, and we are looking for clarification to be able to provide accurate answers to our constituents. What is the expected operational date for the Cancer Care Centre? Has the planning for the new Cancer Care Centre started? What is the scope of Cancer treatment services that will be provided in the new Centre, and will said scope be inclusive of at least two linear accelerators? Where will the new Cancer Care Centre be located? Is the money for the planning being provided by Interior Health Authority (IHA) or the Ministry of Health? Who will be the lead agency in this project, Ministry of Health, IHA or BC Cancer? Given previous Cancer Centre’s have been a collaboration between the Province and BC Cancer, is this the intended model for the Kamloops Cancer Care Centre? Given previous Cancer Centre’s were not funded by local Hospital Boards, will the TRHD be expected to commit capital dollars or will the new Cancer Care Centre be funded by the Province and BC Cancer? If the intention is to seek capital dollars from the TRHD, what is the contribution expected to be? Will Hospital Foundations be expected to fundraise for the new Cancer Care Centre?
