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 Government House Leader 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 3:00 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."

Mr. Arnott moved, seconded by Mr. Murdoch, That Mr. Carr, member for the Electoral District of Oakville, do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.

Mr. Stewart moved, seconded by Mrs. Mushinski, That Mr. Tilson, member for the Electoral District of Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey, do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.

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

Resolved, That Mr. Carr do take the Chair of this House as Speaker.
