Province Législature Session Type de discours Date du discours Locuteur Fonction du locuteur Parti politique Ontario 27e 1re Discours du Trône 29 octobre 1963 William Earl Rowe Lieutenant Governor Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario Mr. Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario: it gives me great pleasure to welcome you today as you assemble, particularly at the first session of the Twenty-seventh Parliament of this Province. I extend greetings to all of you and particularly those sitting here for the first time on this memorable occasion. It is made more so for me because for the first time since taking up my duties of Lieutenant-Governor I have the privilege of speaking at the opening of a session of the Legislature. A special session has been called to consider legislation entitled The Municipal Works Assistance Act of 1963, which will permit the province to enter an agreement with the federal government to assist the municipalities to finance certain capital works. Two select committees of the Legislative Assembly, which ended with the dissolution of the last parliament, will also be reconstituted and the members appointed. May your work be blessed by Divine Providence.
