Campbell: I’m going to move an amendment to section 14, as follows: “If required, initiative votes shall be called by the government for a date not earlier than three months and not later than ten months after the select standing committee refers the initiative petition and draft bill to the chief electoral officer, pursuant to section 13, above.<br /><br />“The rationale behind this is that I think there are times when it’s important for us to act expeditiously. Again, I think the principles behind this bill are those of providing the citizens with full access and full accountability of their public institutions and indeed of some of their public policy. I believe the amendment allows us ample time to put a properly constituted referendum before the public.”Ianhttp://therealstory.canoreply@blogger.com
