moved for leave to introduce Bill C-278, an act to amend the Statutory Instruments Act (disallowance procedure for delegated and subordinate legislation).
Mr. Speaker, I actually have three private members' bills to introduce.
The first bill I wish to introduce today, an act to amend the Statutory Instruments Act, would establish a statutory disallowance procedure that would be applicable to all subordinate and delegated legislation subject to review and scrutiny by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations.
In doing so, the bill would ensure that Parliament will have the opportunity to disallow any statutory instrument made pursuant to authority delegated by Parliament.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
