Point of Order by Deputy Mayor Stephen Holyday

Councillor Holyday, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he wished to know why Motion MM41.54 was not a re-opening, as the Free-Floating Car-Share Pilot was only just considered at the April 24, 25, 26 and 27, 2018 Council meeting.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and ruled that Motion MM41.54 contained new information as one of the free-floating car-share companies recently announced that they would no longer operate in Toronto, and that City Council was not in the same position that it was a month ago.
