Jobin Lieutenant- gouverneur PC Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba. I welcome you to the First Session of the Thirty-First Legislature of the Province of Manitoba. My ministers have advised me that it is in the public interest to bring provincial and municipal employees within the required guidelines set by the Anti-Inflation Act of Canada. A measure to insure this with effect from October 14, 1975 will be laid before you. Measures to suspend the Family Maintenance Act 1977 and to defer the coming into force of the Marital Property Act will be offered for your approval. You will be asked to approve a measure to set the overtime rate of wages in Manitoba at a rate of 1.5 times as great as that ordinarily paid for work done. Certain amendments to the Gift Tax Act and the Succession Duty Act will be recommended for your approval; as well, amendments to the Mineral Acerage Tas Act. You will also be asked to make provision for the costs incident to this session. Je prie le Seigneur qu'il vous guidera dans vos délibérations et dans vos décisions.
