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,

and the proposed amendment moved by Jared Clarke, seconded by Vicki Mowat:

That the motion be amended by adding:
