Re: SO 2017-50 Dynamic Information Sharing and Communications to Optimize Regional Development [DISCORD] Act
As Chair of Parliament, it is with great pride that I preside over the debate of our fiftieth file-number this year - never has the Parliament been this active before! Already this session, less than two weeks since the opening of Parliament on July 5, 2017, we have debated nine bills and motions, nine of which have already been passed. And many more will await our attention throughout this Parliament, so let's keep this show on the road!
