Clause 119 refers to powers of an education body and some of those powers refer to borrowing money, making resolutions to borrow money and making by-laws to borrow money through various securities. Currently, I understand the government ... And then there are other clauses, 127, 135 and 137, which all refer to financial aspects. I understand there is a review going on by someone in the government on the ability of raising revenues for education bodies or municipal councils. Can you enlighten us on where this review is or are you involved in this review?

Committee Motion 89-12(7): To Amend Clause 103 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
I wish to ensure somewhere, though, that there is a responsibility for all parties to consult with each other. There is obviously going to be consultation within the community, consultation with the trustees, and it's not going to be a situation where one walks in and shuts everything down. I know there are a lot of things leading up to an investigation and things following an investigation. But I just want to make sure that there will be provisions for proper consultation and the district is well aware of any incidents or investigations are taking place.

I have no problem with that. I would just clarify that I'm referring to section 113.(2), "suspend the powers of an education body or dissolve an education body. An education body could be a DEA, which is made up of elected people. That's why I'm asking about the rights of the people who elected the trustees to the DEA. If the Minister says you are no longer an official education body and I'm going to appoint a trustee to take over, there must be some obligation to the electorate in the community who elected those people. I'm just trying to get some clarification.

Under 113, "in terms of Investigation," what are the rights of the public -- or the electorate, in this case -- who voted for a trustee, then the Minister now dissolves the education body but the public are the ones who elected the body. I'm just curious what the rights are of the electorate.
Committee Motion 88-12(7): To Defer Consideration Of Clause 100 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
Mr. Chairman, I move that we defer clause 100.
Committee Motion 87-12(7): To Amend Clause 84 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
Where are we, 99 or 100, or somewhere in between?
Committee Motion 87-12(7): To Amend Clause 84 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
In clause 97, we only recognize ratepayers who belong to a religious minority, whether they are Protestant and Roman Catholic. I just want to know why other religions aren't recognized: Muslims, Lutherans, whatever?
Committee Motion 87-12(7): To Amend Clause 84 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
Just a clarification, I don't have a copy of the Local Authorities Election Act. Can an MLA be elected to be a member of a DEA?
Committee Motion 87-12(7): To Amend Clause 84 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
All I'm asking is where will the reference to the Local Authorities Elections Act appear in this document?
Committee Motion 87-12(7): To Amend Clause 84 Of Bill 25, Carried June 21st, 1995
And where will that reference be; in the regulations?
