[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day being called:
Mr. PELLETIER:: I wish to give the following answer to a question asked the other day by the hon. member for Montcalm (Mr. Lafortune):
Re discussion in Parliament in regard to establishing of rural routes at St. Esprit (daily, 151 miles) and St. Alexis de Montcalm (daily, 121 miles).
Tenders were invited for these services, which were due at the department on 6th March last. The tenders received were considered excessive. The lowest price for the St Esprit route was $600, or $39.34 per mile. For the St. Alexis de Montcalm service the lowest tender was $450, or $36.73 per mile. As a result of negotiations, these prices were reduced as follows: for the St. Esprit service, $480, or $31.47 per mile, and for the St. Alexis service, $375, or $30.61 per mile. These reduced offers were not received at the department until the
8th instant. They have been accepted and the inspector has been instructed to proceed with the contract arrangements.



POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT MOTOR CARS.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day being called:
Louis-Philippe Pelletier: The hon. member for Sherbrooke (Mr. MeCrea) made inquiry not long ago as to how many cars are in use throughout the Dominion in connection with the post office service, what the make of each car is, and the price. I may say that there are eleven motor vehicles in use by the Post Office Department, as follows:
No of Cars.	Make.	Cost.Montreal 1.. . .	Packard	$5,472Toronto, 7 .. . .	2 Dominion Automo-	bile Co., each.. . -5 Russell Motor Co.,	3,0004 at	2,5001 at	3,500Quebec, l .. ..	Mitchell Garage and	Automobile Co. . .	2,475Ottawa, 1 .. ..	Packard	5,330Sherbrooke,! . .	Packard	4,500
Purchased from Mr. Caron, Montreal; transferred from Ottawa to Sherbrooke in February, 1914.
I may say that there are other cars employed by the Post Office Department, but not in a direct way. In several cities we have motor cars in use by contractors.



INQUIRY FOR RETURNS.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day toeing called:
Mr. SINCLAIR:: I wish to call the attention of the Prime Minister to the fact that a large number of orders of the House for the production of papers made during the session have not been complied with. I went over the book kept by the chief clerk in the record office yesterday, and I find that 136 orders for returns granted at various times during the session have not been complied with. To me, some of these are of considerable importance. For example, on November 9, I moved for a return relating to the correspondence concerning the express and freight rates on fresh fish. This has not yet been brought down. I should like to know if the officers of the department will toe directed to furnish these returns after the close of the session.


Mr. BORDEN:: I will speak to the Secretary of State about the matter. Personally,
I see no reason why, if the staff of the House is competent to cope with the work, these returns should not be prepared and forwarded to the members.



INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY PENSION FUND.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day being called:
Mr. E. M. MACDONALD:: I would call the attention of the acting Minister of Railways to a matter of some importance, affecting the employees of the Intercolonial railway. I wish to commiserate the Minister of Customs (Mr. Reid) on having to do continuous double duty. The real Minister of Railways is in Canada, and, to the delight of his friends, is apparently in very good health. He is enjoying the delightful experience of campaigning in northern Ontario, while the Minister of Customs has to stay at home and attend to two departments. I think the Minister of Railways should be here, because he would be in a position to deal with the particular matter to which I am referring, whereas my hon. friend is not. Under the Act relating to the pension fund on the Intercolonial the men are entitled to retire at a certain age after a certain number of years in the service. In the last few months there have been cases in which men who have reached the age fixed in the statute but who have not been in the service for a sufficiently long period to qualify for the pension, have been dropped by the management. In my own county two very estimable gentlemen, against whom nothing could be urged in the way of political reasons-and indeed the justification for dropping them is not based on any consideration of that kind but solely on their age, have been discharged from the employment of the railway. These men have been there for a period of ten or eleven years, and each of them every month has paid into the pension fund. Naturally their discharge at this time of life without any other means of employment, the Government retaining the money they had paid into the pension fund, places them in an unfortunate position. My hon. friend from Westmorland (Mr. Emmerson) told me that he had a talk with the Hon. Mr. Cochrane, who said that at this session of Parliament there would be introduced legislation which would provide for the protection of the interests of these men whom the Government found it necessary to drop on account 
of age. We are now on the last day of the session; nothing has been done, and these men are left in this unfortunate position that they cannot get back the money they have paid in. There is no provision for them under the Pension Fund Act, and I think the Acting Minister will agree with me that it is a case with which the department should deal in some way. I think I spoke to the minister at the beginning of the session with regard to this matter, and he personally stated that it would receive his attention. Could not the acting minister, without prejudice to the legislation which I hope will be introduced at a subsequent session, arrange for the payment back to these men, in the meantime, of the moneys they had paid into the fund, charging as against their pensions, if subsequently provided for, the amount thus paidv to them. In some cases the circumstances are such that they require immediate action, and I therefore feel impelled to call the attention of the minister to it.


Hon. J. D. REID (acting Minister of Railways):: With reference to the absence of the Minister of Railways, the Hon. Mr. Cochrane, I am sorry myself that he is not alble to be in the House. There is no doubt that Mr. 'Cpchrane returned from Europe very much improved in health, but he was far from being completely restored to his former health. He was advised that it would be much better for him not to take any active part in the management of his department for a little while longer. That is the Teason why he is -away. 'Of course, having a further holiday now, it is a good time to visit his constituency and -see his constituents; but I do not believe he- has taken the active part in politics the hon. member would lead us to believe.
Mr. MAODONAiLD: He has been advertised all over -Northern Ontario.
Mr. RiEID: The reason for that is that in his constituency for the Dominion there are four or five provincial constituencies in which they are calling conventions, and it is, of course, usual for the Dominion representative to attend the provincial conventions in his riding.
With reference to the retirement fund, I sympathize very deeply with the men who must be retiring at an age or in a condition when they are not able to continue in the service. It is a hardship in retiring them not to pay even the amounts that they have paid in. The reason for that is

that the Act was passed many yeaxs ago, and it is impossible for the minister or the department to refund anything while the Act remains in its present form. As I understood from the discussion in this House, I think it was the intention of the minister to bring in some Act to remedy the difficulty that the department is in so far as the retirement of employees is -concerned, but I believe the matter has been delayed on account of the absence of the minister during the present session. 1 think if an Act is brought in it may be possible to arrange that it should he retroactive, so as to cover those who have paid in and have left the service. As to arranging for a refund during the recess, I shall take that matter up with the minister and see what can be done to carry , out the suggestion. I do not think I can e-ay anything definite in the matter. I shall certainly -give it my prompt attention, with the minister, as soon as he returns.



PICTOU HARBOUR BRIDGE.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day being called:
Edward Mortimer Macdonald: The minister will remember a discussion in regard to improving the railway in the east of Nova Scotia and the proposition with reference to the construction of a bridge in Pictou harbour in order to shorten the distance. The Supplementary Estimates contain no provision for that work. The engineers' reports which were brought down and which formed the basis of the previous discussion disclose the fact that the present bridge across the harbour is not in a safe condition. I have just returned from my county and locally there are very great fears as to the condition of the bridges between Pictou and Stellarton. What is proposed to be done with regard to that situation?
-Mr. REID: The last time I spoke with General Manager Gutelius with reference to that diversion of the road I understood they were trying to get the surveys completed and the soundings made with a view to proceeding with the work at the earliest possible moment.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: There is no vote.


John Dowsley Reid: There may be some general vote.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: I do not -see anything -big enough for the project.


John Dowsley Reid: I think there is a general
amount that might start the work and get it under way. It was very important in the eyes of the general manager that the work be proceeded with at earliest possible moment, but I could not say in what position the matter is at the moment, not having discussed it for some timei. I shall take it up with a view of finding out at once what the situation is and shall let the hon. gentleman know.



PUBLIC WORKS DREDGES.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day being called:
Edward Mortimer Macdonald: There is lying in the harbour in my constituency one of the most important dredges of the department, the suction dredge, which has been operating in the East river for a number of years. Navigation has now been open for at least a month and a half and the dredge is lying there with a full crew, who are enjoying a pleasant vacation on the shore, doing nothing. The people in the district are wondering why this condition exists. Rumors are to the effect that the explanation given in some quarters is that the Estimates were not voted, but the minister must certainly know that we have been very generous with him in- regard to the voting of Estimates. That dredge ought to have been working for six weeks, there is no reason for delaying this important public work, and it is really a scandal that these men should be idle.


Mr. ROGERS:: It is true, there has been some delay in starting the dredge, but the dredging plan has been approved and all of the dredges -have received notice to get to work. The particular case to which my hon. friend refers was mentioned in the department the other day, and the reason given, I think, was that there were some repairs on this particular dredge that had not been completed; but I understand that everything is ready to go full steam ahead.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: The men have been having a great holiday.



THE RECENT TARIFF CHANGES.

Mr. OLIVER:: I would like to call attention to the following question on the Order Paper:


Mr. KNOWLES:: 1. What were the gross amounts of customs duties collected during the fiscal years of 1912-13 and 1913-14, on the articles affected

by the changes in the tariff proposed by the Minister of Finance in his Budget Speech this session?
2. What would such gross customs duties have amounted to had the tariff changes now proposed been in effect?
If this is the last day of the session there will be no possibility of the question being answered. It has heen there for some time, and I would like to ask if the question be turned into a motion for a return, and if the return, when made, could be forwarded to the hon. member (Mr. Knowles) asking the question.


John Dowsley Reid: It is impossible for us to give an answer to the second part of the question; it would only be an approximate statement, and I do not think we would feel justified in giving an answer in the way in which the question is put. I would have no objection to having the question turned into an order for a return provided the second part of the question were struck out.


Frank Oliver: I would take the responsibility of asking the House to strike out the second part of the question if the first part could be considered as an order for a return, and if the minister would be good enough, after preparing the order, to forward the information to the hon. member asking the question.


John Dowsley Reid: Ves, if I can get the statement, and if you have no objection to striking out the second part of the question, I will be glad to do that.


Mr. SPEAKER:: This could not be regularly done unless you moved that questions be called.


John Dowsley Reid: I will try to get the information and forward it without an order being made.



REPRESENTATION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

[Stage Direction]
The House again went into Committee on Bill No. 62, to readjust the representation in the House of Commons.-Mr. Borden; Mr. Blondin in the Chair.
On the schedule-Prince Edward Island:
Robert Laird Borden: My hon. friend, the member for Pictou (Mr. Macdonald) moved to insert a clause providing for the representation of the province of Prince Edward Island in case the British North America Act should be so amended that the province would be entitled to four members instead of three.

The same proposition was mentioned to me by hon. members from Prince Edward Island a day or two ago, but at the time I was very much occupied, and neither then nor since have I had sufficient opportunity to give it the consideration it deserves. However, it has had their consideration, it has had the consideration of my hon. friend from Pictou, and I cannot see at present any reasonable objection to it. I would have preferred to submit it to the Deputy Minister of Justice, as it involves a constitutional question, but since my hon. friend from Pictou introduced it there has been no opportunity. I am inclined to accept it, and if there is time, to submit it to the Deputy Minister of Justice afterwards; and, if it should be found that there is any objection to it, it may be struck out in the Senate. I do not apprehend there will be any objection, and I therefore desire to accept the amendment. It is as follows:
Provided, that if the British North America Act, 1867, should be amended by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, in accordance with the address of both Houses of Parliament of Canada in that behalf, passed at the present session, immediately upon the Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom amending the said British North America Act, 1867, in accordance with such address coming into force, there shall be in the province of Prince Edward Island three electoral districts defined as follows:
(1)	The county of Kings shall form and constitute the electoral district of Kings and shall return one member.
(2)	The county of Prince shall form and constitute the electoral district of Prince and shall return one member.
(3)	The county of Queens shall form and constitute the electoral district of Queens and shall return two members.


[Stage Direction]
Amendment agreed to.
Bill reported, read the third time, and passed.

[Stage Direction]
On motion of Hon. W. T. White (Minister of Finance), the House went into Committee to consider the following proposed resolution:
Resolved, That it is expedient to provide for the payment of retiring allowances or benefits to members of the Civil Service contributing to the cost thereof upon their retirement from office, and to the widows and children of deceased contributors; and also for the payment of retiring allowances or benefits to civil servants not now subject to part 1 of the Civil Service Superannuation Act, and ineligible by reason of age to become contributors, to an amount not exceeding one half of the allowance or benefits grantable to contributors under any Act founded on this resolution.
Mr. WHITE:: 
Mr. PUGSLEY:: What is the date of that report?


William Thomas White: The yeaT before last. Sir George Murray, as my hon. friend is aware, was engaged by the present Government for the purpose of making a report, upon the Civil Service of Canada. His report came to hand last year. It was duly laid before the House, and I have no doubt my hon. friend is in a general way familiar with the findings of Sir George Murray in that report.


William Pugsley: I have been wondering
why no action has' been taken on it.


William Thomas White: This is the session immediately following the receiving of the report, and I will explain to my hon. friend why the Bill has been delayed.


Sir WILFRID LAURIER:: We have had the session of 1912-13 and that of 1913-14.


William Thomas White: This is important legislation; and I am glad to see that my right hon. friend takes such a favourable view of it that he thinks it has been delayed.
There were thirteen years, from 1898 to 1911, and I have not chided my right hon friend, as I probably should have done, for not having taken action in regard to superannuation during all those years.


Wilfrid Laurier: I am not the one who thinks it has been delayed; it is the Civil Service.


William Thomas White: The Civil Service was in
existence during all those thirteen years. The Civil Service is continuous. Ministers come and ministers go. My right hon. friend appears on the scene; he remains a long time; he is still on the scene, though not in the same position; but the Civil Service continues. If the only reproach that my right hon. friend has for me is delay, I shall endure it, because I think I can give a satisfactory explanation why the Bill has not been dealt with during this session.
In answer .more particularly to what my hon. friend from St. John (Mr. Pugsley) has said, I have been reading from the report of Sir George Murray, his remarks upon the subject of
12 noon, retirement. I should say that there are, generally speaking, two systems of superannuation: One is the system under which the Government pays the entire expense, and which might be called a pension system; and the other is the system under which the Civil Service contributes towards the cost of the retiring allowances. The latter is called a contributory system, and it is 
the contributory system that we have adopted. I may say that Sir George Murray in his report favours the former system; that is to say, the system under which the Government defrays the entire cost. His opinion on that point is given in his report as follows:
It Is a question whether it would not be desirable to abandon the practice of requiring contributions towards a pension to be deducted from the salary. My own opinion is against the system of contributions. I think it preferable on many grounds that the pension should be an entirely free gift on the part of the State.
That is the law in Great Britain.
In a memorial presented to the present Government by the Civil Service Association, I have the opinion of the civil servants of Canada, or a substantial part of them, upon that point.


William Pugsley: What is the date of that memorial?


William Thomas White: I think the memorial was presented last year or the year before. It says:
We favour a contributory system by which an equitable proportion of the cost of the scheme will be borne by the employees.
Recently I introduced a Civil Service Bill, which' I propose to proceed with next session. In that measure, provision is made for the compulsory retirement of officials at the age of 65. That would apply to new entrants and to those at present in the service who are under the age of 55 years. We desire to disturb as little as possible the existing situation; and, with respect to those members of the service who are over 55 years of age, the age for compulsory retirement will be 70. For those who are 70 years of age, we thought it just to provide that they might remain for two years longer. The system which we have in view and which is embodied in the Bill which I shall present after this resolution is adopted is an equal division of expense between the Government and the service and the levying of contributions upon the service at rates which will be equitable as among the members themselves. The Bill which I shall introduce has been framed actuarially on this basis. We have decided upon different rates according to age, and not upon a flat rate. Under the latter system the older members of the service would have an advantage at the expense of the younger members and appointees.
It may be useful at this stage of my remarks to, refer to the systems of super-

animation which at present exist in the Civil Service. There are three funds: Superannuation No. 1, Superannuation No. 2, and the Retirement Fund, established under the legislation of 1898. Under Superannuation Fund No. 1 entrants prior to 1893 pay 11 per cent of their salary if that salary is less than $600, and 2 per cent if it exceeds $600. Under Superannuation Fund No. 2 entrants from 1893 to 1898 pay 3 per cent of their salary if less than $600, and 31 per cent for $600 or more. The Retirement Fund established under the legislation of 1898 provides that each member of the service appointed since that date shall pay 5 per cent of his salary to a fund which is virtually a savings account, payable on his retirement or to his estate in the event of death. Interest is allowed by the Dominion Government at the rate of 4 per cent on the amounts so paid by contributors. Now, under the proposed legislation, there is a right of transfer from funds No. 1 and No. 2 to the new superannuation fund, subject to an age limit, and to reasonable safeguards.
Mr. L'EMIEUX: What age?


William Thomas White: Fifty-five years. We have been obliged to fix an arbitrary age limit in this connection. The rates which will be payable by those who transfer to the new system are fixed according to age at the date of transfer, and past service will count automatically under the new Act.
As to the members of the retirement fund, those who have been appointed since 1898 are transferable to the new system at the rates applicable to their ages on first joining the retirement fund, that is to say, the Act dates back in their cases. The amounts to their credit in the fund are accepted in settlement, although in a percentage of cases they should have paid more than the 5 per cent. The contributory rates to be paid by the members of the service under the new system vary from 5 to 8 per cent.


Mr. LEMIEUX:: Will the yearly contribution exceed anything paid under the old system?


William Thomas White: In a percentage of cases they should have paid more, but we are protecting the members of the retirement fund, who come in and join the superannuation system at rates fixed according to the time when they became members of the fund, notwithstanding that in & per-338i
centage of cases they should have paid more than they have been paying, namely, five per cent. The amount standing to their credit in the fund will be credited to their accounts under the new superannuation system.


Mr. NESBITT:: The rates will continue the same?


William Thomas White: They will pay the rates
under this new legislation which, as I have stated, vary from five to eight per cent. These rates will be determined as at the date they entered the service and commenced to contribute to the retirement fund. Provision is also made whereby any contributors may qualify in respect of any temporary service at the special rates prescribed for the purpose in the Bill. These rates range from two to seven per cent, and facilities are afforded for paying of the sum by future instalments; that is to say, they may purchase rights for the entire period of their temporary service or for a portion only.
Any civil servant who is debarred from coming under the new measure because of having passed the age limit and who does not already possess superannuation rights under old funds, one and two may be granted free superannuation equal to one-half of what he would receive had he become a contributor. Any temporary service is to count for the purpose, and any sum to his credit in the retirement fund will remain his as well.
There are in the Civil Service to-day many members over fifty-five, who consequently are not eligible to become contributors under the new scheme. Many of them aTe not on superannuation funds one or two; in other words, they aTe not entitled to the benefits of any retiring allowance at the present time. If they are debarred by the age limit from becoming contributors to this scheme, and are, as I have stated, not entitled _ to any benefits under the established systems, then they would not be entitled to the benefit of any retiring allowance whatever, notwithstanding the fact that they would become subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Act to be enacted next session, and compelled to retire at the age fixed in that legislation. The principle upon which this measure proceeds is this:	the Government and Civil
Service each pay half. Therefore, we thought it fair, with respect to that class of men, who, being over fifty-five, and not

on either of the two superannuation funds or the retiring fund, that they should be dealt with equitably and given a retiring allowance equal to one-half the retirement allowance provided in the measure-dealt with in substance on precisely the same basis as other members of the service.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: What age would their
half benefit be based on?


William Thomas White: The benefits under the
new Act are based on two and one-half per cent of their salary received throughout their years of service. My hon. friend knows that to-day under the superannuation legislation prior to 1898, thirty-five years is fixed by the Act- as a maximum period for the computation of retiring allowances, and the maximum allowance is thirty-five fiftieths of the average salary of an official for the last three years prior to his retirement. We have adopted a different system. The old system is (based on a flat rate which is unjust to the young members and new entrants. We have, as I said, introduced a measure which will be equitable as between the Government and the ser-vice, each paying half, and equitable as among the several members of the service, that is to say, that the amounts contributed by each shall have regard to the age -at which they become contributors to the fund, just as in life insurance. Under the new Act the retiring -allowance is two and one-half per cent of the entire salary which has been received.
There is a provision in the new Act-1 am speaking from memory-that $4,000 is the maximum amount which any civil servant may obtain as a retiring allowance. In this new Act we have made provision also for dependents; that is to say, for widow and children. These matters have all been taken into consideration actuarially in the drafting of the measure.
The principal object of the measure is to establish a new superannuation system for all who enter the permanent ranks of the service after the date of the passage of this Bill. The measure is intended to correct certain acknowledged defects of the old superannuation system, to extend the range of eligibility, and, in a word, to provide a complete, comprehensive and modern superannuation system.
The hon. member for St. John city -chides me for not having introduced the Bill before. I do not desire to be controversial about this matter; I
[Mr W T. White.!
think it is most advisable that a measure of this kind should .be as free as possible from any political complexion. The hon. member for St. John probably does not realize what is involved in the drafting of a Bill of this kind. It is a very technical measure; and I may s-ay that this Bill and the Civil Service Bill have practically had my continuous attention for a period of nearly 18 months. Immediately after Sir George Murray made his report, I took up the question of so-called Civil Service reform, and have given it such attention as I have been able to devote to it in the intervening period. I find it a very difficult and complex question indeed; possibly those who have been longer in Parliament might not find it so complex. There is upon the statute-books of Canada a great deal of Civil Service legislation. The Civil Service Bill which I introduced recently is a consolidation of those Acts. I explained that we had endeavoured to retain so far as possible the language of that legislation in order that there might be as little confusion as possible. My object in taking up the Civil Service Act was twofold: first, to consolidate into one Act all the existing Civil Service legislation which it is not deemed expedient or necessary to repeal, and, second, to make such provisions as altered conditions call for. The Civil Service Bill has been before the House, and it is not necessary for me to refer to it further. I explained when it was before the House that I regretted very much the delay that had occurred in its introduction, but that it seemed to me that a measure of this kind, touching the interests of so many thousands of civil servants, and dealing with-a very complicated system such as the Civil Service of Canada is, should be before the members of the House and before the service and the public during the recess. I think that will be a very considerable advantage to all concerned in dealing with the measure, because we shall have the benefit of such representations as may be made in the meantime and of such criticisms, just or otherwise, as the measure may evoke. The Superannuation Bill is complementary and supplementary to this Bill. It would be practically impossible to enforce the provisions of the Civil Service Bill as to compulsory retirement unless in connection with it a system of retiring allowances is instituted, which will enable civil servants to retire upon a satisfactory basis when they reach the age of compulsory retirement.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: Is the contribution by the civil servants voluntary or compulsory?


William Thomas White: It is a compulsory system in respect of all new entrants into the service, and every opportunity is given to those under the present fund to come under this new Act. The superannuation measure I found even more difficult than the Civil Service Bill, because once the principles are established, it is largely an actuarial problem. I may say that I have had very important and helpful assistance from men in the Insurance Department, especially from Mr. Watson, who has gone into the matter very fully and very ably and with a great deal of enthusiasm. I have further engaged the services of an actuary of high standing, Mr. Grant, who was formerly in the Finance Department and who is now manager of an insurance company in Ottawa. Mr. Grant has the advantage of being thoroughly familiar with the service and also of being an insurance expert. During a period of many months Mr. Grant, my department and myself have been engaged upon the consideration of this measure. The measure could have been introduced earlier in the year but for the fact to which I called attention on the occasion of the discussion on the Civil Service Bill, namely, that, much to my own regret, I was ill during the month of I ebruary, and having had on hand a good [DOT]leal of legislation, probably more than I should have undertaken, I found it impossible to bring down the Civil Service legislation at an earlier date. The Bill was ready a couple of months ago, and I had hoped to introduce it and have it referred to a special committee, if it should have been thought that that was the best mode of dealing with it, and have the two measures enacted this session, because I do think that they are of very great importance to the Civil Service. So much for the occasion of the delay; whether or not it has been justifiable I leave to the committee. May I suggest again the desirability of allowing time for the criticism of details? We have an inside service; we have an outside service. We have , departments engaged in all classes of public work throughout this Dominion, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It would be impossible, I think, notwithstanding all the care that'might be taken, for civil servants and others at Ottawa to draft a Bill which would fully meet the existing situation, complicated and extensive as it is.


Mr. CARROLL:: Will the superannuation be extended to outside civil servants?


William Thomas White: It will extend to all permanent members of the service, inside and outside.


William F. Carroll: Does permanent mean appointed by Order in Council?


William Thomas White: The question of what is a permanent official has, I suppose, been canvassed a good deal, but I think that a permanent official is one who is employed say by the year, and who has a permanent appointment either in the inside or in the outside service. There is no discrimination whatever. The contrast is between permanent officers, those who are engaged from year to year, and those temporarily engaged for periods of weeks or months, as the case may be.
Allow me to emphasize again my belief that time should be allowed for criticism of detail. Any measure of this kind, to be effectual, must be based upon equal justice for all. That has been my mode of approach to this question: equity as between the Government and the service; equity as among the different members of the service in their respective contributions. I think that hasty legislation might lead to inequality and injustice, and that, of course, is scrupulously to be avoided. I do not know the exact number of officials in the Civil Service, but I think it would be nearly 10,000. During the summer I shall expect to hear from the Civil Service Association and from classes of the service any representation that they may desire to bring to my attention bearing upon this Bill. I am quite sure that it is far from being perfect, and my mind is quite open to receive suggestions or representations with a view to its improvement.


Mr. PROULX:: Is it the intention to constitute a fund to which the civil servants will contribute?


William Thomas White: I explained that this is a contributory system by which civil servants will contribute sums varying from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, according to their ages at the time they enter upon the fund. The privilege is given to those who are upon superannuation fund No. 1 and fund No. 2, at present existing, to avail themselves of transfer to the new system if they so desire. Eut I should point out to the House that those under the old fund are really in a better position with a flat rate than they would be under this legislation,

because the rates here are not flat, but are graded according to the ages of the members of the service contributing to the fund.


William Pugsley: The Minister of Finance is perhaps troubled by an uneasy conscience.


William Thomas White: No, never had such a thing about me.


William Pugsley: I am surprised at it.


William Thomas White: Conscience always good.


William Pugsley: I would think if my hon. friend were guilty of any laches or sins of omission, not to say sins of commission, his conscience would trouble him very greatly. My hon. friend is certainly not above those influences which affect the human race generally, and is liable to make mistakes the same as the rest of us. Apparently he is not troubled by any mistakes which he makes, but he anticipates that he will be chided for the delay which has taken place. I do not intend to discuss the resolution, because there is not time to do that. I complain, and I think the Oirvil Service have a right to complain, of the delay which has taken place in dealing with (this matter. My Ihon. friend, somewhat reluctantly I thought, gave me a statement of when Sir George Murray submitted his report. He said he did not know exactly, a year or two ago, just as if a year counted for nothing in dealing with a matter of this kind.


William Thomas White: Did fifteen years count for nothing?


William Pugsley: During fifteen years the Government pursued a certain course with regard to the Civil Service. There was not very much complaint during those years. But my hon. friend will realize that during the last two or three years conditions have changed a good deal in this country; the cost of living has increased very much of late. Whether that is attributable to the action or inaction of this Government it is not necessary to consider just at the moment. The civil servants were given to understand, almost immediately after this Government came into power, that legislation would be introduced to improve conditions in the service. At considerable-expense, I believe, Sir George Murray was brought from England to look into that question. This Government apparently had not confidence in its own ability to deal with the subject -and so it brought in a gentleman from England to advise it what

to do. In doing that the Government was following -along the lines it has generally followed of getting advice from outside gentlemen in the way of commissions to instruct them what they ought to do in the interests o-f the people of this country. I do not believe in that myself. I think the Government should take hold of these matters, and deal with them itself. I do not know if my hon. friend remembers how many members there are in the Government.
I doubt if the House could tell the number. They have in their minds the idea that there are some whom they hardly realize -as being in the Government. But it is generally supposed that there are sixteen or seventeen in the Government.


William Thomas White: There are seventeen I
think.


William Pugsley: I am sure there are two or three from whom the House never hears and hardly realizes that they are -members of the Government. But anyway there is a large number of members of the Government. I do not see why they should not be able to attend to these matters without the assistance and advice of gentlemen from England and throughout Canada who are being continually appointed to various commissions at large expense to the people of the country. This report was submitted a ye-aT or two ago. Then the Civil Service presented a petition, just when my hon. friend could not tell me, a year or two ago. During all this time the Government has had the matter under consideration and has been holding out promises to the Civil Service. Now, on what is supposed to be the last -day of the session, my hon. friend feels , it necessary to explain the Superannuation Bill. He perhaps will tell me whether this has anything to do with the elections which are coming on on the 29th.	.


William Thomas White: Is there an election?


William Pugsley: Oh, yes, the Ontario
provincial elections.


William Thomas White: The provincial? But this
is a Dominion Bill.


William Pugsley: Is it? Then how does
it happen that the Minister of Railways is away from the House in Northern Ontario?


William Thomas White: That is just a synchronism.


William Pugsley: At all events I' shall not accuse my -hon. friend of mentioning the matter to-day just because the election is on; but may not the Civil Service properly


draw the inference that they are being fed on hope?


William Thomas White: No, they are too intelligent for that.


William Pugsley: The Minister of Finance realizes that:
Hope springs eternal in the human hreast,
Man never is, but always to he, blest.
I am satisfied that these words have been repeated over and over again by members of this Government and by members' generally of the Conservative party because they believe that they can feed people with promises and they will be satisfied even with very little performance. I have not been able to be in attendance during this session, but in looking over the records' I would say that so far as legislation is concerned it has been one of the most barren sessions of Parliament which has ever taken place in the country. Outside of the raid upon the treasury under which some $45,000,000 was pledged to one concern and the abortive efforts in regard to the Farmers Bank, what is there during the session to which the Government can point as* a record of useful performance?


William Thomas White: My hon. friend has not
been here, he does not know.


William Pugsley: Still, my eyesight is
very good and I can read.


William Thomas White: My hon. friend did1 not
read the right papers.


William Pugsley: I can read the record
of the Vote$ and Proceedings and from that record of what has been accomplished by this Government I say they have been simply marking time and asking the House to mark time during this entire session. Here we are, after five months of a session, beginning on the 15th day of January, and my hon. friend the Minister of Finance comes down at the end of the five months and on the last day of the session explains a Bill in reference to the Civil Service for next session. I think the members of the Civil Service have a right to complain.


William Thomas White: They will not, do not worry about that.


William Pugsley: If not it is because they are being fed on hopes and promises.


William Thomas White: They are sensible people.


William Pugsley: If they are sensible
I think they will feel that my hon. friend ought to have moved before this. My hon. friend says he has not had time really to
attend to this matter. He referred to the fact, which we all regret, that he was ill during a part of the session. I think he takes too much upon his own shoulders.


William Thomas White: I have had that opinion
myself.


William Pugsley: Why should my hon.
friend, whose department is not one connected with the administration of justice in the country or the drafting of legislation, seek to do all these things himself? What is the Department of Justice for? They have a Minister of Justice, they have a deputy Minister of Justice, and recently the Government weTe authorized to appoint special assistants at salaries of $5,000 a year each and a great many others as additions to the legal department. Is it not their duty to draft legislation? Why did not my hon. friend turn the matter over to the Department of Justice, have a Bill prepared before the House met, or during the early part of this session, and have it brought down?


William Thomas White: We had it prepared.


William Pugsley: My hon. friend kept it pigeon-holed for two months because my hon. friend had the idea that there was nobody else in the Government, who, while he was ill, could take charge of the Bill and present it fairly.


William Thomas White: That is the confidence I
have in myself.


William Pugsley: But my hon. friend will have to remember, as we all have to remember, that there is none of us so able and so important but that others can take our places. I do think that, after having this Bill prepared two months ago, it ought not to have been pigeonholed, it ought not to have been kept until the dying hours of the session; it ought to have been prepared long ago, presented for the consideration of the House and passed into law. If my hon. friend felt that this House was too busy dealing with the Canadian Northern, Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann, and Farmers Bank matters, it might have been presented to, and been considered by, the Senate.


William Thomas White: And the Grand Trunk
Pacific.


William Pugsley: The Grand Trunk Pacific took a very short time.


William Thomas White: There were eight-hour
speeches on that.


William Pugsley: I say that a Government that has kept Parliament here for five


William Thomas White: A Liberal-Conservative.


Rodolphe Lemieux: If he carries through
this House a good measure for the Civil Service he will revive in his breast these Liberal instincts which are now somnolent.
I wish him God-speed.


Mr. LAFORTUNE:: I would ask the Minister of Finance to take power undeT this legislation to provide that in no circumstances shall pensions be attachable or transferable. My experience at the Montreal Bar tells me that creditors very often get judgment against debtors on the ground that they have advanced to them the necessaries of life and under the law of Quebec creditors have a right to attach pensions, if that be shown. I ask the minister to provide legislation that even if it should be for the necessaries of life the pensions shall be non-seizable iand non-attachable. This will be a great protection to those who are in receipt of pensions.


Mr. FRIPP:: The fact that the Civil Service Bill was referred to in the Speech from the Throne is the best answer to any criticism that may be offered against the Minister of Finance for bringing the Bill in at a late date in the session. The civil servants have had an opportunity of considering the Civil Service Bill and I think I am safe in saying that it has met generally with the approval of the civil servants, as giving assistance to those who need assistance most, namely, the officials in the Third Division. The promise made by the Finance Minister, I think I can regard it as a promise, that the Bill would be made retroactive, has allayed any fear on the part of the Civil Service.
The old Superannuation Bill had not a single friend in the Service, so far as I know; it was considered to be very unfair.
They did not expect the present Superannuation Bill to be passed this session, and as one of the members for the city of Ottawa, the Civil Service Association has been in touch with me, and I can say that its members are perfectly satisfied that the Superannuation Bill just brought in by the Minister of Finance should remain over, until next session, in order that they may have an opportunity of suggesting amendments and alterations, and that it may be considered in connection with the Civil Service Act. I think I can safely say in behalf of the Civil Service Association that its members are very grateful indeed to the Minister of Finance for having taken up both these questions on their behalf. I think that the civil servants as a whole will be satisfied with this Superannuation Bill, just as they are satisfied, so far as one can satisfy a large body of that kind, with the Civil Service Act.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Does my hon. friend say that there is no discontent among the civil servants because the Civil Service Bill was not passed this session?


Alfred Ernest Fripp: I would not like to say there is no dissatisfaction because the Bill did not go through this session. I am sorry myself that it did not go through, but I think the civil servants are satisfied as a whole with the promise that it should be made retroactive as being the next best thing to be done under the circumstances.


William F. Carroll: I do not intend saying anything now with reference to the time at which the Government has seen fit to bring down the Civil Service Bill and the Superannuation Bill. I do wish to say, however, that I am one of those who believe that our civil servants should be at least paid fair salaries. I believe that any person who enters the Civil Service of this country should be entitled to a living wage, and I believe that at the present time civil servants employed in our governmental departments are not receiving a living wage. L was rather surprised at the action and the words of my hon. friends from Frontenac (Mr. Edwards) and Kings (Mr. Fowler) when this matter was under consideration before. They criticised the Government, and they criticised, to my mind unjustifiably, the work done in this country by our civil servants. It may be, perhaps, that we have too many civil servants, but when this Government under-

takes to give employment to either a man or a woman the Government should give that person a salary of at least $1,000 per annum. I believe that under present conditions in this country, it is an utter impossibility for any person, especially a married man, to exist on less than that income. Another factor is that if the wants and the aspirations of the labouring people in this country are to receive an impetus, the Government should take the lead and demonstrate to all employers of labour that they are willing to pay the people in their employ a living wage. I repeat that anything less than $1,000 a year is not a living wage.
I have not 'been long in this Parliament, and I have not had the pleasure of meeting very many civil servants, but I wish to say on their behalf that while they are perhaps not an overworked class the great majority of them take an actual and enthusiastic interest in their work. That fact has come under my observation and I can give an instance of it.
I have taken at times a little interest in legislation in this House emanating from the various departments; and on almost all occasions when I have criticised that legislation I have been approached by civil servants who have in a courteous way explained to me the legislation as it could not be explained on the floor of the House. That is not the business of civil servants; that is the business of the heads of the departments; but I am saying this only in justice to the civil servants, that they do take an interest in their work, or they would not read ' Hansard ' in regard to legislation connected with their departments. In regard to the department controlled by the Minister of Finance, a few days ago I made a protest, not on my own behalf, but on behalf of a certain class in this country, namely, the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association, with respect to legislation which was going through the House. The following morning a young man from the Department of Finance came to me and explained that measure so much in detail that, if I had had any criticism to make against it, it would have been withdrawn. He was under no obligation to come to me and explain that Bill; but he explained it in a way in which the Minister of Finance could not explain it to the House, because we sat down and had a heart-to-heart talk over it. When I hear my hon. friend the hon. member for Kings and Albert (Mr. Fowler), or the hon. member for Frontenac

(Mr. Edwards), or any other hon. gentleman saying that the civil'servants are a leisured class who take no interest in their work; that they come to the office at ten o'clock in the morning and smoke until eleven or twelve o'clock; and that, when they return from lunch, they make preparations for their dinner hour, I think it is very unfair to the civil servants of this country.
I am not going to criticise either severely or otherwise, the resolution which the hon. Minister of Finance has brought down; but there is one thing in connection with it that has my hearty approval, namely, the bringing of the outside permanent civil servants under the Act. The outside civil servants are as good a class as are the inside; but they have not been so carefully looked after by any Government in this country as they should have been. Their salaries are too small; and, unfortunately, they do not come under the old Superannuation Act. When the legislation is brought down, it will be the time to criticise it in detail.
I wish to point out further-and I wish to make this my last word on the present occasion-that there is a duty incumbent upon the Government of this country, whether the existing Government or any future Government, to lead the way towards establishing fair wages in this country. If the Government do not do it, contractors and business men will be slow to do it.
The Government should lead the way in giving a living wage to their civil servants. That wage, in my opinion, should not be less than $1,000. I know a gentleman in the Civil Service who is receiving $500. a year. He has been in the service for two years, and has a family of nine. He is apparently a good man; if he was not so, he should not have been appointed. How can that man live on $500 a year and support a family? Do you know how he does it? He goes out in the night time and uses his ability to play a violin at dances and that sort of thing. It is a disgrace to this Government or to any other Government in this country to pay a man who has a family to support a salary of $500 a year. It is not a living wage, and it is impossible for civil servants to exist on such a salary.
Resolution reported, read the first and the second time, and concurred in.
Mr. WHITE thereupon moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 229, respecting Civil Service Superannuation.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.
At one o'clock, the House took recess.
The House resumed at three o'clock.

Hon. CHARLES MARCIL (Bonaventure):: Perhaps the right hon. Prime Minister will allow me to ask him a question. I came from Montreal this morning, and there is an unfortunate situation prevailing there, as the Prime Minister probably understands from newspaper accounts, regarding the application of the order in the militia regulations regarding the carrying of arms in religious processions. It has been the custom in Montreal for many years past for the volunteer regiments to turn out with arms at the Feast of Corpus Christi. The regulation of the Militia Department deprives the volunteers of the permission they have hitherto had of carrying arms at this celebration. I understand that a deputation of citizens from Montreal has laid the matter before the Prime Minister, and I would like to ask him now if there is any prospect of the difficulty being overcome?


Robert Laird Borden: It was not exactly a deputation. I met a few gentlemen from Montreal regarding this matter, and a discussion took place which was of an entirely private character, and theTe is no announcement to be made. So far as the general question is concerned, allusion was made to it some time ago in the House, I think, toy the hon. member for Rouville (Mr. Lemieux), and the Minister of Militia and Defence made some observations in reply thereto. I do not think at the moment there is anything to add on the subject.


Wilfrid Laurier: The matter
was brought up the other day by the hon. member for Rouville. The Minister of Militia said that there was a rule as old as the hills forbidding arms to be carried in religious celebrations; the volunteers might attend, but could carry only side arms. If there is such a rule, and it is as old as the hills, so far as the memory of man goes in this country it has been more honoured in the breach than in the observance, because to the knowledge of everybody in the province of Quebec that rule has never been observed, and the militia has been allowed to attend these ceremonies with their arms.
This year something different has taken place. If it is the rule, and it has not been followed, some recent order must have been given by the Minister of Militia, and to this day that order has remained concealed, and when the minister was applied to he would not say what had taken place.
I am sorry to see by the silence of the Prime Minister that he is no better informed than we are, for the Minister of Militia's order has come from somewhere.


Robert Laird Borden: The order is one which, I understand, has been in force for a long time.


Wilfrid Laurier: Oh, no.


Robert Laird Borden: My information from the Minister of Militia is precisely the opposite; in fact, he so stated in the House the other evening.


Wilfrid Laurier: Exactly.


Robert Laird Borden: Then my hon. friend says that is not correct.


Wilfrid Laurier: Because there is something else. The minister stated that the rule has been that no arms are to be carried, but arms have been carried, as everybody knows, for sixty years at least, in the province of Quebec.


Robert Laird Borden: I was not alluding to the question of practice, but to the answer given toy the Minister of Militia as to the existence of the regulation. He alluded to i't and stated certain instances within the past six or eight weeks in which the rule had been acted upon elsewhere than in the city of Montreal. I am not personally familiar with the details of the order, but we are assured by the Minister of Militia that it has been in existence for many years. I do not doubt that the practice has been as my right hon. friend states; he is better acquainted with the facts in regard to that than I am. I do not think the Minister of Militia has taken any special action in this case. Attention may have been called to the fact that an order is in existence; but I am not aware of anything further.


Wilfrid Laurier: The order has come from somebody-it certainly has not come from Heaven; perhaps it has come from somewhere else-to the officers of the 65th Regiment that the regiment would not toe allowed to do what they did last year and for many years before.


Robert Laird Borden: The order is contained, 1 think, in the King's Regulations for the forces throughout the empire.


Edmond Proulx: One newspaper the other day said that this was probably done in view of the coming provincial elections in Ontario. I should like to have the assertion of the Minister of Militia that that is not true.


John Dowsley Reid: That was in a Liberal newspaper.


Edmond Proulx: No, it was in an independent newspaper, with Nationalist tendencies, Le Devoir, of Montreal. For the sake of the good reputation of the Minister of Militia, I hope that the statement is not true. I should like the minister himself to deny it; he has not done so as yet.


Robert Laird Borden: The minister is not here; I shall have to send for him.



REPRESENTATION IN THE SENATE.

Thomas Simpson Sproule: I have the honour to
inform the House that I have received the following from the Senate:
Amendment made by the Senate to the resolutions sent up from the House of Commons that an humble address be presented to His Majesty praying that he may graciously be pleased to give his consent to submitting a measure to the Parliament of the United Kingdom to amend certain provisions of the British North America Act, 1867.
Add the following as section 3 :
3. This Act shall not take effect until the termination of the now existing Canadian Parliament.


Robert Laird Borden: That a message be sent to the Senate to acquaint their Honours that the amendment made by the Senate in the proposed joint Address to His Most Excellent Majesty the King, be not concurred in, for the following reasons:
1.	Because appointments to the Senate have no necessary or appropriate relation to the date of the election of members to serve in the House of Commons.
2.	Because in respect of certain of the western provinces the proposed increase of representation in the Senate has relation solely to the result of the last decennial census, which result has been ascertained.
3.	Because the said amendment is inappropriate and incongruous.
4.	Because no sufficient reason can be adduced for the delay effected by the said amendment.
Motion- agreed to.



POST OFFICE ACT AMENDMENT.

Thomas Simpson Sproule: I have the honour to
inform th-e House -that I have received the following message from the Senate:
Resolved, that a message be sent to the House of Commons by one of the Masters in Chancery, to acquaint that House that the Senate does not agree to the amendment pro-
[Mr. Borden.j
posed by that House to the said amendment of the Senate, and that the Senate reaffirm their Maid amendment, with the following words added thereto:
And until so revised and ratified by Parliament, the now existing rates shall remain in force, notwithstanding anything contained in this Act.



HOUR OF PROROGATION CHANGED.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. SPEAKER informed the House that he had received a letter from the Governor General's secretary announcing that His Royal Highness would proceed to the Senate Chamber at 4.30 o'clock instead of at three o'clock for the purpose of proroguing the present session of Parliament.
At 3.30 the House took recess during pleasure.
The House resumed at four o'clock.

William Pugsley: Mr. Speaker, I desire to ask my hon. friend the Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. Foster) when we may expect the report of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire^ in-to the high cost of living. This is a matter of very great importance in view of the conditions prevailing throughout the country, the serious extent of the unemployment which exists among the labouring people and the difficulty which a great many thousands of our fellow citizens experience in getting employment; or, if they do get employment, in receiving wages which will enable them to live with any degree of comfort and provide sustenance for their families. I observed with some interest to-day that the Minister of Trade and Commerce was addressing the meeting of the Manufacturers' Association last evening in Montreal and that he attributes the high cost of living or was reported, to have attributed it, to the extravagance of the people.


Rodolphe Lemieux: He talked of the sins of the people, also.


William Pugsley: The sins and extravagance of the people. 1 think the Minister of Trade and Commerce must have been misreported as to attributing the high cost of living to the sins of the people, but if he did attribute it to the extravagance of the Canadian people, I think he was quite unwarranted in doing that. I am satisfied that the people of Canada as a whole, except those who are receiving the high salaries of J7,000 a year in addition to their indemnity, who may indulge in extravagant

habits and who too may be imbued with Oriental ideas, cannot truthfully be accused of extravagance in their manner of living.


Wilfrid Laurier: May I ask the new minister (Mr. Pugsley), from whom I hope * we may be more successful in obtaining information than from some other hon. gentlemen on the Treasury benches, if he can give us any information as to the commis-[DOT] sion which was appointed recently to investigate the cause of the high cost of living, because we would like to know if this is a Royal Commission in fact, or if it is only a commission intended to spoil good paper and ink.


William Pugsley: I may say to my right hon. friend, who sits opposite, and who adorns the position which he occupies, that this is a matter to which I myself, since I have come on this side of the House, have been giving close attention. I have been endeavouring, so far without success, to find out from my hon. friend, who temporarily sits on my right, and whom I trust before long to induce to take the other side of the House, ito get that information. Before my right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition came into the Chamber I had made the same inquiry as that which he now addresses to me. I have been such a short time on this side of the House that I have not yet been able to become possessed of the information which ought to be acquired by a member of the Government. But perhaps one can be a member of this Government without getting a great deal of information.
Speaking of this Royal Commission, I understand that in the city of St. John, a distinguished member of it told the people there that he had discovered a means of reducing the high cost of living, and his suggestion was that our people should eat more fish. He did not say whether they should eat more salmon, or trout, or eels, or mackerel, or herrings or shad, or pickerel, or pike, but he did say that we should eat more fish. I did hear .a rumour

I do not know whether it is true or not-that some members of the commission had the idea that if we would change our diet and become more partial to buttermilk and potatoes, we might also be able to materially reduce the high cost of living. But these are merely suggestions which are thrown out and it remains for my hon. friend who sits on my right, as I hope and trust temporarily, to state that the high
cost of living is due to the extravagance of the people of Canada. I think my hon. friend ought to give to this House the information as to when this report is to be presented.
Mr. GEORGE E. FOSTER: I have been trying to reconcile the situation somewhat during the last five minutes. I have been filled with wonder at such strange members as my hon. friend getting into close proximity to the family. How do they come to get thereP I am not quite familiar with my hon. friend who has suddenly assumed the office of minister in a Conservative Government, but I scent in a little measure a conspiracy in my hon. friend, with his gentle and suave manner, coming over and taking this seat. After he warms a little to the situation my right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) suddenly arises, seriously addresses him as a minister and asks for oei tain intimate and detailed knowledge with regard to the affairs of a Royal Commission, evidently with the desire of securing an expression from the new minister and sending it forth to the country ex cathedra. I was surprised that my hon. friend did not fall to iWtumble to it- immediately, but he has not been swift enough. I do not know that he has ever failed in like manner before to take advantage of a situation and carry out a conspiracy, such as evidently was hatched between my hon. friend and the leader of the Opposition, as regards this Royal Commission. With regard to the reckless suggestion which was made by this pseudo minister, this one time minister, as to the articles of diet that he favoured, if I have read the papers right in the last few weeks, potatoes have gone up wonderfully. To adopt a regimen of potatoes at this time would !be beyond the resources perhaps of those who have not large retainers and consequently are not able to possess themselves of such high priced luxuries. For a corporation lawyer, potatoes at $2 a barrel might be all right. As to buttermilk, we are told that the stock is rather retrograding and that buttermilk is going up too. But what is that to my hon. friend? He can take in as much buttermilk and as many potatoes as he can walk under. I know that the question of the high cost of living affects my hon. friend very much, because I believe, from information that I have secretly gathered, that he has been keeping himself on short commons awaiting the report of

the Royal Commission, and that he is anxious to know in what way he may fortify himself against the depletion of the larder, so to speak. I do not know that I could give him any more definite information as to when the report of the commission will he presented than to say that when the commission finishes their work they will bring in their report.
Meanwhile, I warn the Conservative members on this side of the House not to be too intimate with this new minister; this stranger who has come surreptitiously into the well-ordered family of the Conservative party. I think that now the Speaker has some business to inform the House of, which is more important than this, pleasant as this is.



REPRESENTATION IN THE SENATE.

Thomas Simpson Sproule: I have the honour to inform the House that I have received a message from the Senate stating that the Senate doth insist upon its amendment to the resolution submitting a measure to the Parliament of the United Kingdom to amend certain provisions of the British North America Act, 1867, in the manner set forth in the draft Bill hereto attached.



THE HIGH COMMISSIONERSHIP.

Wilfrid Laurier: There is
rumour to the effect that the Hon. Mr. Beck will accept the High Commissioner-ship if it is offered to him. May I ask if it has been offered to him, or if it is the intention of the Government to offer it to him, and, if so, when we may expect the appointment?
Mr. GEORGE E. FOSTER: The right hon. the leader of the Government has already frankly answered that question in the House, not with reference to the gentleman whose name has been mentioned by my right hon. friend, but with respect to other rumours that were brought to his attention. This present rumour is of the character of preceding rumours, and I am quite sure if the Prime Minister were here he would answer it in the same way.

May it please Tour Royal Highness:
The Commons of Canada having voted the Supplies required to enable the Government to defray the expenses of the public service.
In the name of the Commons, I present to Your Royal Highness the following Bill:
An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of money for the public service of the financial years ending respectively the 31st March, 1914, and the 31st March, 1915, to which Bill I humbly request Your Royal Highness's assent.
To this Bill the Clerk of the Senate, by Hie Royal Highness's command, did thereupon say:
In His Majesty's name, His Royal Highness the Governor General thanks His Loyal Subjects, accepts their benevolence, and assents to this Bill.
After which His Royal Highness the Governor General was pleased to close the Third Session of the Twelfth Parliament of the Dominion with the following
SPEECH:
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I am glad to relieve you from further attendance in Parliament after a session which has been marked by legislation of an important character.	.
The task of readjusting the representation of the people in the House of Commons, under the provisions of the British North America Act, on a basis not open to just criticism, has naturally been a difficult one; but it has been accomplished in a manner which I trust will prove satisfactory to the electorate. This readjustment will greatly increase the representation of the four western provinces.
My advisers have not been unmindful of the necessity of completing with the least possible delay the great Transcontinental railway systems now under construction; and the provision which has been made for necessary assistance to those great national enterprises will, I trust, not only ensure their early completion but result in distinct and marked benefit to all portions of the Dominion.
The difficult question of providing a system of naturalization whereby the status of British citizenship thus acquired shall be recognized by law in all parts of the empire has for many years engaged the attention of the Governments of the mother country and of all the self-governing Dominions. The measure which has been passed for that purpose by the Parliament of Canada and which will find its complement in legislation passed by the Imperial Parliament and by the Parliaments of the other Dominions, contributes to a great result upon which the empire as a whole is to be congratulated.
It has been found necessary to make a partial readjustment of the tariff in certain important respects and I have every confidence that this readjustment will prove of marked advantage not only to the industries chiefly concerned but to all the business and industrial life of the country.
[Stage Direction]
The legislation which has been enacted to implement the resolutions passed by the International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea, provides more effective measures for ensuring in the future the safety of passengers and crews on ocean-going steamships.
The measure which has been passed for the more effective supervision of Cold Storage Warehouses will, I trust, have important results by regulating in the public interest the condition and disposal of food products as stored.
It is confidently anticipated that the amendments to the existing laws respecting Trust and Loan Companies will prove of marked advantage in securing greater uniformity as well as additional safeguards to the public.
The measure providing for a specially constituted commission to investigate shipping casualties of extreme gravity will afford the means of making a more thorough and exhaustive inquiry into such cases and of securing recommendations from competent experts as to requisite precautions to prevent such disasters in the future.
My advisers are constantly impressed with the necessity for greater and improved facilities in all the national ports of Canada and they believe that the necessary provision of large dry docks which are essential for that purpose will be more readily consummated by the amendment passed at the present sesison.
Gentlemen of the House of Commona:
I thank you for the liberal provision you have made for the public service.
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
My term of office is drawing to a close and this is the last occasion on which I shall have the honour of addressing you as Governor General.
I consider it a fitting opportunity of expressing to you my fervent belief in the high destiny of Canada and the manner in which Canadians will fulfil that destiny.
I desire to assure you that, after my official connection with you is severed, I shall still continue to feel the greatest affection for the people of Canada and an unaltered interest in all that pertains to the progress and prosperity of the Dominion.
The Speaker of the Senate then said:
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
It is His Royal Highness' the Governor General's will and pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued until Wednesday, the 22nd day of July next, to be here holden, and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued until Wednesday, the 22nd day of July next.
