Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, since the Government Leader acknowledges that the practice of having the Commissioner make a merely symbolic throne speech now appears to be in place, and since our rules allow Members and provide Members the opportunity to reply to that throne speech, is it then the government's intention to propose, through it's representative on the Standing Committee on Rules, Procedures and Privileges, that the reference to the Commissioner's address in the rules be changed, and that instead the rules be changed to allow Members to reply to the Premier's opening statement. Is it the government's intention to advocate a change of the rules to reflect the new reality that we've seen in this new Legislature? Thank you.
