Good morning. Let us pray.

Prières.

Mr. Calandra moved second reading of the following bill:

Bill 185, An Act to amend various Acts / Projet de loi 185, Loi modifiant diverses lois.

We have with us today, in the Speaker’s gallery, a delegation visiting here from Australia. Joining us are the Honourable Greg Piper, Speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly; Helen Minnican, Clerk of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly; and Speaker Piper’s wife. Please join me in warmly welcoming our guests to the Legislature.

Also with us in the other Speaker’s gallery today are members from the Standing Committee on Justice from the Parliament of Norway. Please join me in warmly welcoming these guests to the assembly today.

I’m also very pleased to say that, in the Speaker’s gallery, we have a former member of provincial Parliament for Burlington during the 38th and 39th Parliaments, Joyce Savoline. Welcome. It’s great to have you back.

The final supplementary.

Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Government House leader.

Supplementary question. The member for Toronto–St. Paul’s.

The government House leader.

I’m going to ask the member for Ottawa South and the Minister of Energy, who are engaged in, I’m sure, a very interesting conversation across the floor of the House, which makes it harder for the Speaker to hear the member who actually, rightfully, has the floor and wants to ask a question—as well, there have been a number of members on this side of the House who have been heckling quite loudly. I would ask them to stop doing that.

Start the clock. The Minister of Energy can reply. He has the floor.

The supplementary question.

Parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Finance, the member for Oakville.

The supplementary question.

I’ll ask the member for Brampton North and the member for Ottawa South to come to order.

The member for Oxford: supplementary question.

Order.

The supplementary question.

That concludes our question period for this morning.

Deferred vote on the motion for third reading of the following bill:

Bill 155, An Act to amend the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario Act / Projet de loi 155, Loi modifiant la Loi sur l’Institut de recherche agricole de l’Ontario.

The division bells rang from 1142 to 1147.

On April 10, 2024, Mr. Leardi moved third reading of Bill 155, An Act to amend the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario Act.

All those in favour of the motion will please rise one at a time and be recognized by the Clerk.

Be it resolved that the bill do now pass and be entitled as in the motion.

Again, I’d ask members to keep the presentations with regard to the petitions as brief as possible.
