Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like clarification on clause 6.1.(2) where it reads "...where a member who, after his or her election, is convicted of an offence under the Criminal Code punishable on summary conviction." There is a section reading the following: "The Legislative Assembly shall, as soon as reasonably practical, determine whether it is necessary in the public interest and in the interest of the Legislative Assembly, to expel the Member from the Legislative Assembly and to declare that his or her seat is vacant."
Is this particular clause correct that the Assembly can remove an elected Member provided they are found guilty? If they are found guilty and given a conditional discharge, then they cannot remove that Member.
