ORDERS OF THE DAY

House Business

Hon. Jim Ernst (Government House Leader): On a matter of House business, Madam Speaker, I would like to table the sequence of Estimates for Committee of Supply, as agreed to by the opposition House leader and myself, which means for today, once we move into Committee of Supply that in the House the Estimates of the committee of Finance will be considered; in Room 254, Rural Development; and in Room 255, Seniors.

That is for today only. Then, of course, the sequence will follow as outlined here tomorrow or as subsequently may be amended from time to time as required, in which case then I would move, seconded by the Minister of Education (Mrs. McIntosh), 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, and the House resolved itself into a committee to consider of the Supply to be granted to Her Majesty, with the honourable member for La Verendrye (Mr. Sveinson) in the Chair for the Department of Rural Development; the honourable member for Sturgeon Creek (Mr. McAlpine) in the Chair for the Department of Seniors; and the honourable member for St. Norbert (Mr. Laurendeau) in the Chair for the Department of Finance.
