The Speaker informed the House that, in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, His Honour the Lieutenant Governor had been pleased to assent to the following bills in his office on May 6, 2009.

Le Président avise l'Assemblée qu'au nom de Sa Majesté la Reine, Son Honneur le lieutenant-gouverneur a eu le plaisir de sanctionner les projets de loi suivants dans son cabinet le 6 mai 2009.

Bill 139, An Act to amend the Employment Standards Act, 2000 in relation to temporary help agencies and certain other matters.

____________

The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Le Président s'adresse à l'Assemblée comme suit:-

I beg to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 98(c), changes have been made to the Order of Precedence on the ballot list for Private Members' Public Business, such that:-

Ms. Horwath assumes ballot item number 19 and Mr. Hampton assumes ballot item number 28 and; Mr. Arnott assumes ballot item 16 and Mr. Shurman assumes ballot item 73.

____________

The Speaker delivered the following ruling:-

Le Président a rendu la décision suivante :-

I want to draw to Members' attention that a co-sponsored bill appears on the Orders and Notices Paper that contravenes Standing Order 52, which states, "No motion, or amendment, the subject-matter of which has been decided upon, can be again proposed during the same Session."

Bill 171, An Act to provide property tax deferrals to low-income seniors and low-income persons with disabilities, standing in the name of Mr. Shurman, Mr. Kormos and Mr. Sergio, is substantially the same as Bill 78, which was lost on Second Reading earlier in this Session.

Therefore, as was the case yesterday with respect to Mr. Yakabuski's Bill 174, I find Bill 171 to be out of order and have directed that it be removed from the Order Paper.
