The Third Session of the Sixty-third General Assembly opened on November 12, 2009, with the Speech from the Throne delivered by Lieutenant Governor Barbara A. Hagerman. This was the third Speech from the Throne she has delivered since her appointment in 2006.
In April 2008 the Legislative Assembly adopted a parliamentary calendar, with the fall session opening on the first sitting day following Remembrance Day. In accordance with the Legislative Assembly Act, which requires 60 days' notice of the opening of the session, the announcement of the opening was issued on September 11, 2009.

Their rationale was that the chair had specific knowledge of the file due to his position as minister of agriculture in the former administration. The committee will present its report on this matter in the fall of 2009.
