Mr. Speaker, and members of the legislative assembly of Ontario, I extend warmest greetings and a sincere welcome to each and every one of you.

On behalf of our Sovereign, I extend congratulations to the Prime Minister and his ministry, as well as a special welcome to those hon. members who attend their first session of the Legislature.

During this first session of the twenty-ninth Parliament of Ontario, the government will place before you its supplementary estimates incorporating many special programmes to alleviate winter unemployment and other expenditure designed to reinforce the positive economic impact of the budget. You will also be asked to approve amendments to The Income Tax Act to implement tax reductions to further increase demand in the economy; changes in the province's Succession Duty Act and The Corporations Tax Act; and legislation to reduce the burden of health insurance premiums.

Bills will also be introduced to implement changes in pension legislation. Finally, you will be asked to approve legislation concerning the structure of government.

May Divine Providence guide you in your deliberations.

God bless the Queen and Canada.
