Mr. Speaker,

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Weledeh, that notwithstanding Rule 4, that when the House adjourns on Thursday, October 31, 2002, it shall be adjourned until Wednesday, February 12, 2003;

AND FURTHER, that any time prior to February 12, 2003, if the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such notice and shall transact its business as it has been duly adjourned at that time.
