The Members, having taken the Oath of Allegiance, took their seats in the Legislative Chamber.

Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor entered the Chamber and took her seat upon the Throne.

The Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (Hon. Stephen Crawford) said:

“I am commanded by Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor to state that she does not see fit to declare the causes of the summoning of the present legislature of this Province until a Speaker of this House shall have been chosen according to law, but tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Her Honour will declare the causes of the calling of this Legislature.”

Her Honour was then pleased to retire.

The Clerk of the Legislative Assembly addressed the Members as follows:

“Members of the Legislative Assembly, it is my duty to call upon you to elect one of your numbers to preside over your deliberations as Speaker, therefore, I ask for nominations for the Office of the Speaker.”

Laurie Scott moved, seconded by Will Bouma, That Donna Skelly, Member for the Electoral District of Flamborough—Glanbrook, do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.

Lisa Gretzky moved, seconded by Stephanie Bowman, That Jennifer K. French, Member for the Electoral District of Oshawa, do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.

There being no further nominations, the Clerk declared the nominations closed.

And the election process having ensued, after some time, it was,

Resolved, That Donna Skelly do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.

The Clerk having declared the Honourable Donna Skelly duly elected, she was conducted by Laurie Scott and Will Bouma to the dais, where, standing on the upper step of the dais, she returned her humble acknowledgement to the House for the great honour that had been conferred on her by the Members choosing her to be their Speaker.

The Speaker assumed the Chair and the Mace was laid upon the Table. 

On motion by Steve Clark, it was Ordered that the House adjourn.

Sur la motion de Steve Clark, il est ordonné que l’Assemblée ajourne ses travaux.
