INTRODUCTION The Hansard Index is designed to provide easy access to topics discussed in the Legislative Assembly. For this reason it corresponds strictly to the text of the Manitoba Hansard. FORMAT The index is in two sections:

(1) Member/Subject index, and

(2) Appendices. Member/Subject Index: Main entry in this

section is a subject heading which may be subdivided. Following the main entry are secondary headings, "see" and "see also" references, and a listing of individuals who spoke on that subject. Appendices: Included in this

section is a complete list of Oral Questions by department, Members of the Executive Council, and Chairpersons of Standing and Special Committees. FILING ARRANGEMENT The basic filing principle is alphabetical, letter by letter. The sequence is as follows:

a) numbers are filed at the beginning of the alphabet, if they are the first character in the filing element

b) initials separated by punctuation are filed at the beginning of their alphabetic group ABBREVIATIONS 1r ........................................ First Reading 2r ..................................
