sec.19 Suspension of auditor-general when Legislative Assembly not sitting

When the Legislative Assembly is not in session, the Governor in Council may suspend the auditor-general on any of the grounds listed in section 17 . However the auditor-general may be suspended under subsection (1) only if— the Premier has given the auditor-general a statement setting out the reasons for the suspension; and the Premier has considered any response by the auditor-general to the statement. The Premier must table the statement and any written response by the auditor-general in the Legislative Assembly within 3 sitting days after the day on which the suspension begins. A suspension made when the Legislative Assembly is not in session stops having effect— subject to paragraph (b) —at the end of 7 sitting days after the day on which the suspension begins; or if the auditor-general is earlier suspended or removed from office on an address of the Legislative Assembly—at the earlier time. If the suspension stops having effect under subsection (4) (a) , the auditor-general is entitled to be paid remuneration and allowances for the period of the suspension. Other than as provided in subsection (5) , the auditor-general is entitled to be paid remuneration and allowances for the period of a suspension only if— the Legislative Assembly resolves that remuneration and allowances be paid for the period; or the Governor in Council approves the payment of remuneration and allowances for the period. s 19 amd 2011 No. 24 s 10 (sec.19-ssec.1) When the Legislative Assembly is not in session, the Governor in Council may suspend the auditor-general on any of the grounds listed in section 17 .
