Mr. George Hickes (Point Douglas): Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the member for Broadway (Mr. Santos), that the composition of the Standing Committee on Law Amendments be amended as follows: Wolseley (Ms. Friesen) for Transcona (Mr. Reid); Flin Flon (Mr. Jennissen) for Selkirk (Mr. Dewar), for Tuesday, June 29, 1999, for 10 a.m.

Hon. Darren Praznik (Government House Leader): Madam Speaker, just by way of some advance notice to the House of the discussions I am having with the opposition House leader (Mr. Ashton), the expectation is we will be doing a number of second readings tomorrow in the Chamber, followed by Estimates so that we would be preparing another group of bills to go to committee. We are also presently working on some other times for committee, but I would expect, and I look to the opposition House leader, that one could expect committees on Monday and Tuesday mornings of next week, as well, to be able to deal with the particular workload. So I just wanted to give members as much information as possible as to the current thinking as to how House business will be handled.

For this afternoon, if there is leave of the House to allow for both the report stage on, I believe it is Bill 33, which is the workers compensation amendment act, in which case I would also be seeking, if there is leave for that stage, leave to have third reading done this afternoon, as well. I understand, just again for information of the House, that the Lieutenant Governor is not readily available this afternoon but would be available following Question Period tomorrow to give Royal Assent to that bill. If there is unanimous consent for bringing those two orders of business, that will then be followed by Estimates. So I would ask, Madam Speaker, if you could seek the requisite leaves of the House for those.

Madam Speaker: Is there unanimous consent of the House to move now to report stage, Bill 33? [agreed]

Mr. Praznik: Madam Speaker, I would ask if you could then call Bill 33 for report stage.

Hon. Mike Radcliffe (Minister of Labour): Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the Minister of Urban Affairs and Housing (Mr. Reimer), that (by leave), Bill 33, The Special Payment to Certain Dependent Spouses of Deceased Workers Act; Loi sur le paiement spJ cial destinJ B certains conjoints B charge de travailleurs dJ cJ dJ s, reported from the Standing Committee on Law Amendments, be concurred in.

Hon. Darren Praznik (Government House Leader): If you have not already done so, could you please see if there is leave of the House to call Bill 33 for third reading?

Madam Speaker: Is there unanimous consent of the House to proceed now to third reading, Bill 33? [agreed]
