Question Period rules

• The Côte Saint-Luc City Council allows both residents and non-residents to ask questions at its Council Meetings, in both French and English.
• Every person wishing to ask a question in person must, at the beginning of the Council Meeting, fill out a question period form which can be found at the entrance to the Council Chamber.
• The question period at a Council Meeting is limited to 30 minutes, but may be extended, subject to the consent of the majority of Members of Council present. Given this time limit and given the desire to allow as many questioners as possible to ask questions, every person has 3 minutes to ask 1 question and 1 follow-up question to the Mayor.
• Prior to asking a question, every person must state his full name.
• Following the discussion of the Council Agenda items, there is a second question period. During the second question period, attendees can only ask questions about items on the Council Agenda.
• No person may use violent, offensive or disrespectful language when addressing a question to the Mayor.
• At a Special Meeting, questions must be limited to items on the Agenda.
