House Business

Hon. Jim Ernst (Government House Leader): Madam Speaker, the Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections scheduled to meet tomorrow morning in Room 255 in the Legislative Building is cancelled.

Madam Speaker, I would seek leave of the House to convene that committee tomorrow afternoon at 2:45 p.m. in Room 255, concurrent with the sitting of the House to consider bills.

Madam Speaker: Is there leave? [agreed]

Mr. Ernst: For the balance of this afternoon, I will be moving the motion to go into Committee of Supply. In Room 255, I would seek leave to have the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism continue.

Madam Speaker: Is there leave to have the Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism considered under the Committee of Supply, the section sitting in Room 255? Leave? [agreed]

* (1640)

Mr. Ernst: Madam Speaker, I wonder if there may be leave to sit tomorrow morning, Tuesday, June 4, in two Committees of Supply to consider in Room 255 from 9 a.m. until 12 noon the Department of Urban Affairs and the Department of Housing, and in the Chamber from 10 a.m. until 12 noon the Department of Culture, Heritage and Citizenship.

Madam Speaker: Is there leave to sit in Committee of Supply in Room 255 commencing at 9 a.m. the departments of Urban Affairs and Housing, and in the Chamber the Department of Culture, Heritage and Citizenship commencing at 10 a.m.?

Some Honourable Members: No.

Madam Speaker: No? No. Leave has been denied.

Just for clarification from the honourable member for Inkster (Mr. Lamoureux), is it my understanding that leave has been denied for both sections tomorrow morning? Yes. So there will be no Committee of Supply tomorrow morning in either section.

Mr. Ernst: Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the Minister of Justice (Mrs. Vodrey), 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 Industry, Trade and Tourism; and the honourable member for St. Norbert (Mr. Laurendeau) in the Chair for the Department of Justice.
