The Private Members’ Bill, introduced by John McCallister MLA, sets as its principal objective the formation of an official Opposition in the Assembly.

The Assembly and Executive Review Committee is keen to ensure that members of the public are aware of the proposals within this important bill and have an opportunity to have their say.
