LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBL V OF MANITOBA THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON REGULATIONS AND ORDERS Monday, 19 January, 1981 Time - 2:00 p.m. CHAIRMAN- Mr. Warren Steen (Crescentwood). CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM MR. CHAIRMAN: Committee will come to order. I see nothing but press people present. We have a quorum, and our advertisement which appeared in the Saturday, January 10th, 1981 edition of the Winnipeg Free Press said that we would meet Monday, January 19th, 1981, at 10:00 a.m. this morning, as we did until 12:30, and then again at 2:00 this afternoon and again tomorrow if necessary.

Obviously, with no other persons wishing to make presentations to the committee either this afternoon or tomorrow, and based on the fact that we said this morning and agreed to meeting next Monday at 10:00 a.m., of which an advertisement will go into the Winnipeg Free Press later this week, I would conclude that the committee rise until next Monday morning at 10:00 a.m., which would be January 26th. Mr. Walding. MR. D. JAMES WALDING (St. Vital): Mr. Chairman, I think you've answered the question I was about to ask as to what happens next with the committee.

Can you tell me the purpose of the meeting next Monday morning? MR. CHAIRMAN: The Clerk's Office has had one or two persons whose names appear on your list that have said that they cannot be available today in one case, and in another case could be tomorrow. I hardly think it's worthwhile calling the committee back to work tomorrow morning for just one known person.

With our advertisement going in the paper later this week to indicate that those wishing to make a second appearance before the committee, based on recent events that have taken place in Ottawa, that perhaps we can handle any persons, who are on our current list that haven't been able to make it today, next Monday. So I see no point in us remaining here either this afternoon or coming back tomorrow. Committee will rise until 10:00 a.m. January 26th. We will endeavour to have the Clerk's Office contact any of these known persons during the remaining days of this week. Committee rise. 383
