The second Monday in March.
That would be this Monday, March 8.
Why is that an important day?
Well, under the standing orders of the House of Assembly, the legislature is supposed to sit:
“in the Winter-Spring from the second Monday in March to the Friday before the Victoria Day weekend with a break from the end of the sitting day on Maundy Thursday to the third Monday after Easter…”.
Seems pretty clear.
And yet, for some completely inexplicable reason the House of Assembly is not being called back into session on Monday, March 8, it being the second Monday in March.
Anyone care to suggest a rational, sensible, plausible and/or very good reason why the House likely won’t be sitting again until two weeks after it was supposed to be back?
