The Speaker informed the House,

Le Président a informé l’Assemblée,

A vacancy has occurred in the membership of the House by reason of the resignation of Mitzie Hunter as the Member for the Electoral District of Scarborough—Guildwood, effective May 10, 2023 (Sessional Paper No. 258) (Tabled May 10, 2023).
Accordingly, I have issued my warrant to the Chief Electoral Officer for the issue of a writ for a by-election.

Pursuant to Standing Order 7(e), the Government House Leader indicated that the evening meeting period was no longer required and therefore cancelled.

Conformément à l’article 7 e) du Règlement, le leader parlementaire du gouvernement a indiqué que la réunion en soirée n’était plus nécessaire et par conséquent était annulée.

At 9:40 a.m., pursuant to Standing Order 9(e), the Government House Leader indicated that no further business would be called and therefore the House recessed.

À 9 h 40, conformément à l’article 9 e) du Règlement, le leader parlementaire du gouvernement a indiqué qu’aucune autre affaire ne serait à l’ordre du jour et par conséquent, l’Assemblée suspendait ses travaux.

10:15 A.M.

10 H 15

The Speaker addressed the House:

Le Président s’adresse à l’Assemblée :

I rise to inform the House of a change in the allocations for independent Members' participation in House proceedings, as there are now 11 Members sitting as independents, seven of whom are representatives of the Liberal Party. Fortunately I have been able to consult precedents from the previous Parliament, when at times we had the same proportions of independent Members, and we now need to revert to practices that were previously in place.
During Question Period, I will continue to recognize one independent Member to ask a question each day, and a second independent Member to ask a question every Tuesday. On Wednesdays, we will return to having a second question for independent Members on alternating weeks.
With regard to Members' Statements, there will continue to be one statement allotted to an independent Member every sessional day, with each individual Member entitled to make a statement once per 11-day period.
As a result of the resignation of the Member for Scarborough—Guildwood (Mitzie Hunter), there are now seven Liberal independent Members rather than eight, which changes the amount of speaking time available to the Liberal independent Members as a group. At the beginning of this Parliament, I explained that in order for each independent Member to have an opportunity to participate in debate on Second and Third Reading of Government Bills and on substantive Government motions proportional to what any other individual Member might have, each independent Member would be allotted 3 minutes of speaking time per debate. As there are now seven Liberal independent Members, and since Standing Order 26(a) does not permit speeches longer than 20 minutes, I am now prepared to recognize any of the Liberal independent Members for one speech of up to 20 minutes. This time may be shared among the Liberal independent Members pursuant to Standing Order 26(d), but it may not be banked.
