The order of the day having been called for consideration of the speech of Her Honour at the opening of the session, Brad Crassweller, seconded by Travis Keisig, moved:

That an Humble Address be presented to Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor as follows:

TO HER HONOUR THE HONOURABLE BERNADETTE MCINTYRE

Lieutenant Governor of the province of Saskatchewan

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOUR:

We, His Majesty’s dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Assembly of the province of Saskatchewan, in session assembled, humbly thank Your Honour for the gracious speech which Your Honour has been pleased to address to us at the opening of the present session.

A debate arising, it was moved by Vicki Mowat, seconded by Jared Clarke:

That the motion be amended by adding:

And, that the Assembly does not support the agenda outlined in the Speech from the Throne because it does not include any new measures to address the urgent challenges Saskatchewan people face regarding health care, the cost of living, and public safety; and further,

That the Assembly has lost confidence in the government.

The debate continuing on the motion and the amendment, pursuant to rule 6(6), the Speaker interrupted proceedings and adjourned the Assembly without question put.
