Hon. Leonard Derkach (Minister of Rural Development): Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the Minister of Highways and Transportation (Mr. Praznik), that leave be given to introduce Bill 47, The Municipal Assessment Amendment Act (2) (Loi no 2 modifiant la Loi sur l'J valuation municipale), and that the same be now received and read a first time.

His Honour the Administrator, having been advised of the contents of this bill, recommends it to the House, and I would like to table the message from His Honour.

Madam Speaker: Order, please. I have to determine first if there is leave. That bill is not on our Order Paper.

Does the honourable minister have leave to introduce Bill 47? [agreed]
