Hon. James McCrae (Government House Leader): Madam Speaker, I have some matters of House Business. I would like to advise honourable members and the table that the government does not propose to proceed with Bill 22, The Law Reform Commission Repeal Act, and instead will be working with Bill 58. I am saying this because I expect Bill 22 to basically die on the Order Paper, and I think that the table may want to use this information to let potential presenters know that that is the intention so that we can avoid any inconvenience in that regard.

There have been some discussions, and out of respect for the memory of the late Honourable Stanley Knowles, for whom there will be a funeral service on Monday at two in the afternoon, we have agreed that the House would not sit on Monday until 3:30, that we would forgo private members' hour, that we would sit until six on Monday, resume sitting at 7:30 till the normal hour of adjournment of ten o'clock. That is what we would need leave--I am sorry, Madam Speaker, if I said private members' hour, what I meant to say is we would forgo Question Period on Monday, beginning with, I guess it is called, government orders at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Madam Speaker: For information purposes, Bill 22 will not proceed but will die on the Order Paper.

Is there leave for Monday, June 16, to not sit, to forgo Question Period where the House commences at 1:30 p.m. and not sit until 3:30 p.m., commencing with Orders of the Day, until 6 p.m., recessing, then sitting from 7:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. Monday evening?

Mr. McCrae: A minor adjustment before we put that question: When I say "commencing with Orders of the Day," it may be that we should be commencing with Routine Proceedings, omitting Question Period, and then going to Orders of the Day at 3:30 on Monday.

Madam Speaker: So the House not sit till 3:30 p.m. on Monday, the 16th, commencing with Routine Proceedings but omitting Question Period, until 6 p.m., and then recessing and commencing at 7:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. Monday evening. Is there leave? [agreed]

Mr. McCrae: Madam Speaker, thank you for that. I appreciate your having to put all that to the House. The arrangements were just very recently arrived at, and we were unable to prepare something in writing for you with respect to that.

Madam Speaker, again, on Monday at 7:30, and this would require the leave of the House because the House will be sitting at 7:30. At 7:30 Monday evening, the Standing Committee on Agriculture will sit to consider bills referred to it. The honourable member for Thompson (Mr. Ashton) and I are, well, mostly the honourable member for Thompson, but we are working on which bills will be referred to that committee.

Madam Speaker: Is there leave to permit at 7:30 p.m. on Monday evening the Standing Committee on Agriculture to sit for bills referred? [agreed]

Mr. McCrae: Madam Speaker, and the leave is being sought because the House is sitting at the same time.

Would you call Bill 31, please.
