At which stage do members debate and vote on the bill?

  1. Second Reading

  2. Committee Stage

  3. Report Stage

  4. Third Reading

The correct answer is: Third Reading

After the First Reading and Second Reading stages of the legislative process, the bill is debated and potentially amended in committee during the Committee Stage. After the committee makes its recommendations, the bill moves to the Report Stage, where it is debated and voted on by the full Assembly. However, it is not until the Third Reading that the final vote on passing the bill is taken. Therefore, the correct stage for debating and voting on the bill is the Third Reading.
