Improper Conduct by the Delegates

The presiding Officer may deny any delegation the right to be heard at a meeting of the Council if, in his or her opinion:

    • (a) the delegation:
      • (i) does not speak respectfully of his Majesty the King, or the official representatives of her government;
      • (ii) uses offensive words in referring to any member of the Council, or to any official or employee of the municipality, or member of the public;
      • (iii) shouts, immoderately raises his or her voice, uses profane, vulgar, or offensive language;

 

  • (b) the remarks of the spokesperson of the delegation are likely to:
    • (i) be scandalous, criminal or offensive to the accepted rules of address to an elected body, or
    • (ii) be on a subject which is not within the jurisdiction of the Council.
