"Members, earlier in the meeting Councillor Shiner asked me to rule on whether Executive Committee item EX45.34 should have been reported to Council to permit debate at this meeting.
I have reviewed the situation with the City Clerk and I am now prepared to rule.
I am ruling that the Clerk has followed the procedures in not including item EX45.34 in the report of the Executive Committee before us today.
I make this ruling since the conditions imposed by the original motion had, at that time, been satisfied by Pride Toronto, causing the Mayor to rule this item redundant at committee. A redundant item is withdrawn. This was the end of the item, and as such, there was no item to be reported to Council.
However, I am aware that since the Execuutive Committee took this action, there have been subsequent events which have caused Members of Council to consider this matter anew.
I also note that this agenda contains a notice of motion, MM51.3, headed “Revoking Pride Toronto Funding” by Councillor Mammoliti. Accordingly, City Council will have the opportunity to consider this matter, including all of the new facts and developments, at this meeting, if referral to committee is waived, or at the August meeting of the Executive Committee.
That is my ruling."
The Speaker's ruling was challenged by Councillor Shiner, and upheld by a vote of 21-19.
