And, I move, seconded by the member for River Heights (Mr. Radcliffe), that the composition of the Standing Committee on Public Utilities and Natural Resources be amended as follows, and this for October 29 at 6:30 p.m.: the member for Springfield (Mr. Findlay) for the member for Lac du Bonnet (Mr. Praznik); the member for Turtle Mountain (Mr. Tweed) for the member for Niakwa (Mr. Reimer); the member for Ste.

Some Honourable Members: Dispense.

Madam Speaker: Just a minute. That the Standing Committee on Industrial Relations for this evening, October 29, 6:30 p.m., be amended as follows: the honourable member for Arthur-Virden (Mr. Downey) for the honourable member for Pembina (Mr. Dyck); and the honourable member for Emerson (Mr. Penner) for the honourable member for Niakwa (Mr. Reimer).

I am going to request the co-operation of all members in this House to let me read the committee changes for the benefit of the table officers--with these committees happening in such short order on such short notice--so that they can ensure that the appropriate people are listed and the required paperwork is indeed done in preparation for a meeting that follows in about three hours.

I would appreciate it if the members not then call that we dispense with the reading of the notice. Quite often it is very difficult for the table officers to hear at the table, given the other noise in the Chamber.

It has been moved by the honourable member for Gimli (Mr. Helwer), seconded by the honourable member for River Heights (Mr. Radcliffe), that the composition of the Standing Committee on Public Utilities and Natural Resources for Tuesday, this evening, October 29 at 6:30 p.m., be amended as follows: the honourable member for Springfield (Mr. Findlay) for the honourable member for Lac du Bonnet (Mr. Praznik); the honourable member for Turtle Mountain (Mr. Tweed) for the honourable member for Niakwa (Mr. Reimer); the honourable member for Ste. Rose (Mr. Cummings) for the honourable member for St. Vital (Mrs. Render); and the honourable member for River East (Mrs. Mitchelson) for the honourable member for Gimli (Mr. Helwer). [agreed]

Madam Speaker: I thank all honourable members for their co-operation.
