Mr. Stan Struthers (Dauphin): Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the member for Crescentwood (Mr. Sale), that leave be given to introduce Bill 301, An Act to Amend an Act to Incorporate the Dauphin General Hospital Foundation; Loi modifiant la Loi constituant la Fondation de l'Hôpital général de Dauphin, and that the same be now received and read a first time.
Motion presented.
Mr. Struthers: Just a couple of words on the intent of this amendment. The act allows for representation to be provided for the Town of Dauphin, the R.M. of Dauphin, the Health Care Auxiliary at the Dauphin General Hospital, a representative of the medical staff and the Parkland Regional Health Authority, along with six members who would be elected at their annual meeting.
The bill also establishes one-year terms for appointed members and three-year terms for elected members. The amendment would also set out the rules for filling a vacancy for both elected and the appointed members of this foundation.
Lastly, Madam Speaker, in a two-thirds majority vote, it provides for the dissolution of the corporation. So I am pleased to be able to announce that to the House today.
Motion agreed to.
