This meeting has been called to consider the following bills: Bill 232, The Public Schools Amendment Act (Anaphylaxis Policies); Bill 300, The Royal Lake of the Woods Yacht Club Incorporation Amendment Act. In what order does the committee wish to consider these bills? Mr.

Ms. Erin Selby (Southdale): Yes, I do. Madam Chairperson: Go ahead, Ms. Selby. Ms.

Selby: I just wanted to quickly give credit and thanks to two of my constituents, Krista and Peter Wiebe, who brought this to my attention, and have a young son with an anaphylaxis allergy, and just were the ones to first note the difficulty of dropping a child off every day when you have that sort of a situation in your home, and the trust in the professionals that you leave your children with. So I thank them for bringing this to my attention.

I also want to thank the folks at the Manitoba Anaphylaxis Information Network for providing me with a little more information on what it means for families who live with children with life-threatening allergies. I also want to thank the Minister of Education (Mr. Bjornson), the Minister of Health (Ms. Oswald), the Minister of Family Services and Housing (Mr. Mackintosh) for being so supportive of this bill when I brought it forward, and also to Glen McLeod, who was also very helpful in helping me put this bill together. Thank you to everyone. Madam Chairperson: We thank the member.

Does any other member wish to make an opening statement on Bill 232? Seeing none, we'll move to the clause-by-clause consideration. Clause 1–pass; clauses 2 and 3–pass; enacting clause–pass; title–pass. Bill be reported.

Ms.

Valerie Perry (Law Officer of the Legislative Assembly): As required by subrule 158(1) of the rules of the House, I now report that I have examined Bill 300, The Royal Lake of the Woods Yacht Club Incorporation Amendment Act, and have not noted any exceptional powers sought or any other provision of the bill requiring special consideration. Madam Chairperson: We thank Ms. Perry for that report. Does the bill sponsor, the honourable Member for Tuxedo (Mrs. Stefanson), have an opening statement? Mrs. Heather Stefanson (Tuxedo): No. Madam Chairperson: Okay.

Does any member wish to make an opening statement on Bill 300? Okay, we'll move through that quickly. We'll move to the clause-by-clause consideration of the bill. Clauses 1 through 7–pass;

preamble–pass; enacting clause–pass; title–pass. Bill be reported. The hour being 5:22, what is the will of the committee? Some Honourable Members: Committee rise. Madam Chairperson: Committee rise. COMMITTEE ROSE AT: 5:23 p.m.
