Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives to meet on September 8, 2010

24 August, 2010 BC Elections 2013:
The Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives will presumably look at the HST Extingushment Act handed to it by Elections BC and the HST Initiative petition will be meeting on September 8, 2010 at 1:00pm.

Duty of select standing committee

11(1) The select standing committee must, within 30 days of receiving a copy of the initiative petition and draft Bill under section 10, meet to consider the initiative petition and draft Bill.

(2) The select standing committee must, within 90 days of the date of its first meeting,
(a) table a report recommending that the draft Bill be introduced at the earliest practicable opportunity, or
(b) refer the initiative petition and draft Bill to the chief electoral officer.

90 days within September 8, 2010 means that they have until December 14, 2010 to come up with a decision.
