Breaking News - BC Liberals moves to invoke closure on Bill 9 (HST Bill)

Just a few mins ago, Hon. Mike De Jong (Attorney-General, acting Solicitor-General & Gov't House Leader) gave oral notice under Standing Order 81.1 of the BC Legislature that he intends to move a motion relating to scheduling of votes for Bill 9. The schedule will include when votes will take place on the amendment to Second Reading of Bill 9, Second Reading of Bill 9, Committee Stage of Bill 9 and Third Reading of Bill 9

Minister De Jong stated that this would be subject to discussions with the NDP House Leader (Mike Farnworth - NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam)

My view - the Government House Leader will move a motion formally on Monday or Tuesday of next week relating to scheduling of votes on Bill 9 under Standing 81.1 of the BC Legislature
