THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF MANITOBA 2:30 o'clock, Tuesday, Aprll16, 1963. Opening Prayer by Madam Speaker. HON. DUFF ROBLIN (Premier) (Wolseley): Madam Speaker, if I might have leave before we commence our routine proceedings, there is a point in connection with the business of the House that I would like to raise at this time. I imagine that members of the House will be a war� that the suggestion was made in the Public Utilities Committee this morning that we should abbreviate our business this afternoon and return to the work of that committee in order to deal with the business before it.

That of course is something that we must do by leave and I now enquire as to whether that would be in accordance with the wishes of the members. My suggestion would be that we would proceed so far in today's business as to take care of the Or­ ders for Return. I understand that a request has been made that we should do that and that at that point we should adjourn. I would suggest that we should adjourn until 8:30 tonight and when we meet again we then would take up the Order Paper where we left off and deal with the items in that order.

Should it be that tll,e committee is still in full swing this evening, then perhaps the House wouid be willing to consider the suggestion that at our meeting at 8:30 we could decide whether to go back to the committee or not. That's a matter which no one can tell at this particular time. So my proposal would be that we would continue with our regular busi­ ness until we have cleared up the Order for Retupls, then we should adjourn until 8:30 and, if necessary, return to the committee after 8:30; if not, proceed with the business in accordan ce with the Order Paper. MR . ELMAN GUTTORMSON (St.

George): On behalf of our group, we are quite prepared to meet the wishes of the Premier. MR. MORRIS A. GRAY (Inkster): Madam Speaker, our group is quite satisfied with the suggestion made by the First Minister but I would like to get some assurance that the private members' resolutions will be taken up as soon as we are through over there. In the last years I noticed a tendency in this House that private members• day is being shoved around and some­ times it comes to the end of the session and then it remains on the Order Papers.

On the un­ derstanding that when we meet tonight and the other committee is through with tbeirwork, that we should go back to the private members' day. MR. ROBLIN: I believe that's what I suggested, Madam Speaker. MR . S. PETERS (Elmwood): The First Minister mentioned 8:30 -- 8:00 o'clock you meant I believe. MR. ROBLIN: Lapsus linguae, which I think means slip of the tongue. MADAM SPEAKER: Presenting Petitions Reading and Receiving Petitions Presenting Reports by Standing and Special Committees Notices of Motion Introduction of Bills Orders of the Day HON.

GEORGE JOHNSON (Minister of Health) (Gimli): Madam Speaker, before the Or­ ders of the Day, I should like to lay on the table of the House a Return to an Order of the House No. 17 dated March 29th, 1963, on motion of the Honourable Member for Rhineland.
