BILL 1 – 2023

AN ACT TO ENSURE THE SUPREMACY
OF PARLIAMENT

This Act to Ensure the Supremacy of Parliament is an important part of our democratic process. The purpose of this Bill, and its introduction prior to consideration of the Speech from the Throne, is to perpetuate the established right of Parliament, through its elected representatives, to sit and act without leave from the Crown.

This Bill simply asserts the ancient right of the Legislative Assembly to give precedence to matters other than those expressed by the Sovereign.
