Honourable Chair,

Article 1.4 of the Legislative Procedure Act states that “General laws, amendments, resolutions, and treaties require a simple majority of those voting to pass” whilst only “Constitutional laws, constitutional amendments, and resolutions dealing with matters of constitutional law require a three-fifths supermajority of those voting to pass”. The Criminal Code is not marked as a Constitutional Law as specified by Article 1.1 of the Charter, and as such is a General Law. In this matter the law is thus clear that a simple majority of those voting is the necessary threshold for amendment, and this decision is thus extremely questionable.

I would respectively ask what law, precedent or court ruling you considered when reaching this decision.
