Pursuant to the adjournment motion of May 5, 2020 and provisional Standing Order 8(7), the Speaker of the House of Assembly advises that Government wishes the House to reconvene on Tuesday, June 9 at 1:30 p.m. for the purpose of conducting public business not attended to due to the disruption of Spring 2020 sitting caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The House will convene with all Members implementing special measures to accommodate appropriate physical distancing and comply with public health guidance. The Public Gallery and Speaker’s Gallery will be closed to the public and employees. The Press Gallery will be open with a cap on the maximum number of media attending at one time to ensure appropriate physical distancing can be maintained.

Live video of proceedings, including closed captioning, will be available via the regular channels (House of Assembly broadcast channel and House of Assembly website at www.assembly.nl.ca). Hansard will be made available at the earliest opportunity.
