ORDERS OF THE DAY

Messages

Hon. Eric Stefanson (Minister of Finance): Madam Speaker, I have a message from the honourable, the Administrator of the government of the Province of Manitoba.

Madam Speaker: The Administrator (Richard J. Scott) transmits to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba revised estimates of sums required for the services of the province for Capital Expenditures and recommends these revised estimates to the Legislative Assembly.

Mr. Stefanson: Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the Minister of Environment (Mr. McCrae), that the said message, together with the estimates accompanying the same, be referred to the Committee of Supply for consideration and report.

Motion agreed to.

House Business

Hon. James McCrae (Government House Leader): On House business, just for the information of honourable members, I expect shortly to move the motion to take the House into Estimates examination, and I expect that the time allotted for that would expire this afternoon.

At that point, it would be my intention to call the bills, and the ones I had in mind, initially I would call Bills 50 and 51 for introduction by the Minister of Culture (Mrs. Vodrey) and the Minister of Health (Mr. Praznik) at which point we would move to the bills as listed on page 3 in the order they are listed, unless the opposition House leader should stand up and direct the House to a particular bill, and I understand accompanying all this is a disposition to waive private members' hour for today.

Madam Speaker: Is there leave to waive private members' hour? [agreed]

Mr. McCrae: I move, seconded by the Minister of Finance (Mr. Stefanson), that Madam Speaker do now leave the Chair and the House resolve itself into a committee to consider of the Supply to be granted to Her Majesty.

Motion agreed to.
