Order called for "Oral Questions by Members."

The House proceeded to "Orders of the Day."

The Hon. J. MacPhail moved--

That the House, at its rising, do stand adjourned until it appears to the satisfaction of the Speaker, after consultation with the Government, that the public interest requires that the House shall meet, or until the Speaker may be advised by the Government that it is desired to prorogue the Third Session of the Thirty-sixth Parliament of the Province of British Columbia. The Speaker may give notice that she is so satisfied or has been advised and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such notice, and, as the case may be, may transact its business as if it has been duly adjourned to that time and date; and

That, in the event of the Speaker being unable to act owing to illness or other cause, the Deputy Speaker shall act in her stead for the purpose of this order.
