2)     New Business:

 

Regulation Change – Deputy Speaker Salary

The Chair noted that a copy of the proposed amendment to the House of Assembly Management Commission Regulations had been circulated in advance of the meeting.

The Chief Clerk advised that the proposed amendment enacts a new section 40A of the Regulations and explained that the amendment effectively sets the floor on the pay of individual Deputy Speakers as $12,500. This is accomplished by authorizing an additional payment to each Deputy Speaker when there is more than one Deputy Speaker such that for each Deputy Speaker the sum of the salary payable under clause 42(1)(b) of the House of Assembly Act and the additional payment must be $12,500. The additional payment is paid on a bi-weekly basis in synchronicity with the payment of the Deputy Speaker salary under the House of Assembly Act and is payable for the duration of any period during which there is more than one Deputy Speaker.

The Chair asked for a motion that the proposed amendment to the House of Assembly Management Commission Regulations to enact section 40A be approved, and for someone to second the motion.

It was moved by Mr. White and seconded by Mr. Boudreau.
