PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ON NOTICE

31 Mr. Hurd to move in amendment, seconded by Ms. Stephens --
"Be it resolved that the motion 'that the Speaker do now leave the Chair for the House to go into Committee of Supply' be amended by adding the following: 'but the House regrets that the Minister of Finance has publicly acknowledged that the budget presented to this House, and foreshadowed in the Speech from the Throne, does not accurately reflect the true nature of the Province's finances. This House is concerned that the balanced budget described in the Speech from the Throne is actually a deficit budget of at least $235 million. This House further regrets that despite commitments made in the pre-election budget brought down in April, the government's current budget freezes more than $250 million in capital spending for roads, schools, hospitals and other public projects.' ''

32 Mr. Anderson to move in amendment, seconded by Ms. Chong --
That the address in reply to the throne speech be amended by adding the following:
". . . but this assembly regrets the statements with respect to the 1995-96 Budget included within the throne speech."
