PRESENTING REPORTS BY STANDING AND SPECIAL COMMITTEES MR. HARRY SHAFRANSKY (Radisson): Mr. Speaker, I beg to present the fifth report of the Committee on Economic Development. MR. CLERK: Your Committee met on June 1, 1976, to consider the Annual Report of Manitoba Mineral Resources Ud, for the period from April 1, 1974, to March 31, 1975, and the Financial Statements of Leaf Rapids Development Corporation Ud, for the year ended March 31, 1975.

ORAL QUESTIONS MR . DONA I.D W. CRAIK (Leader of the Official Opposition)(Riel): Mr. Speaker, I direct a question to the First Minister. I wonder if be could advise whether Manitoba has drawn back or curtailed activities in the Guaranteed Annual Income program, that have been apparently annonnced by a number of provinces at the joint Federal-Provincial meeting. MR . SPEAKER: The Honourable First Minister. HON. EDWARD SCHREYER (Premier)(Rossmere): Mr. Speaker, the Guaranteed Annual Income experimental program is one which the Honourable Leader of the Opposi tion will recall is cost-shared by Canada and Manitoba on a 75-25 percent formula. It is correct that there has been some scaling back of the size and the time duration of the program. It has been mutually agreed to by the two levels of government. I believe it might be said that the federal request was to scale-back the amonnt of proposed addi tionality of time, do I make myself clear? It is not being scaled back from the original intent, it is however being scaled back from an adjusted extension period. ORDERS OF THE DAY MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable House Leader. HON. SIDNEY GREEN, Q.C. (Minister of Mines, Resources and Environmental Management)(Inkster): Mr. Speaker, I wonder if you would proceed to call No. 67 please. MR. SPEAKER: Very well. Bill No. 67.
