I have two visitors to introduce today. I have lexicon legend Lynn Murphy, who was the first women editor hired by CBC Radio news. Woohoo! Her husband was, many of you may know, Bill Murphy. He was a reporter in the press gallery at Queen’s Park in the 1960s for CBC Radio news. And then I have lovely Louise Cass; she’s a globally acclaimed artist and a former archaeologist. It’s their first time—well, it’s Louise’s first time to the House.

Madame Gélinas moved first reading of the following bill:

Bill 116, An Act to amend the Health Protection and Promotion Act with respect to sodium content in food / Projet de loi 116, Loi modifiant la Loi sur la protection et la promotion de la santé en ce qui concerne la teneur en sodium des aliments.

Point of order.

Interjections.

The bill is simple. It amends the Health Protection and Promotion Act to prohibit the selling or offering for sale of any food whose sodium content exceeds the maximum amount prescribed by the regulations. When prescribing the maximum amount for a food or class of food, the Lieutenant Governor in Council must not prescribe an amount that exceeds the applicable global sodium benchmark established by the World Health Organization.

Ms. Khanjin moved first reading of the following bill:

Bill 117, An Act to proclaim Skilled Trades Week / Projet de loi 117, Loi proclamant la Semaine des métiers spécialisés.
