To help things run smoothly and respectfully, here’s a quick overview of how this part of the agenda works:
Before You Ask
- Please begin by stating your name clearly.
- Each person may ask up to two questions so that everyone gets a fair chance. Once everyone has had a turn, you may ask additional questions if time permits.
How Questions Are Handled
- Some questions may be answered right away, while others might be taken on notice, meaning we’ll follow up with a written response after the meeting. If your question is taken on notice you’ll receive a written response from the CEO.
What Might Not Be Answered
The Presiding Member may decide not to answer a question if:
- It was already asked in submissions received prior to the meeting.
- It's presented more as a statement than a question. (We’ll help rephrase it if possible).
- It’s offensive or defamatory.
Time Limits
- Each person has 2 minutes to ask their question.
- The Council may extend question time if needed.
