Ruling by Councillor Doug Holyday (Upheld)
Councillor Holyday ruled motion 1a by Councillor Del Grande out of order because it would require a re-opening of Item EX31.1, headed “A Policy Framework for Toronto’s Accountability Officers", which was adopted by City Council on April 29 and 30, 2009.

By adopting that Item, Council directed the Accountability Officers to submit their Annual Reports directly to City Council.
