[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. RODOLPHE LEMIEUX (Maison-neuve):: With your leave, Mr. Speaker, in view of the adoption of daylight saving by several of our municipalities, and in view of the change in the time table of the railway systems of this country, might I ask the Acting Prime Minister what the Government intends to do in the matter having regard to the vote of this House last week?


William Thomas White: The Inside and Outside Civil Service has always conformed to local municipal regulations with regard to time. Therefore the Civil Service will, so far as practicable, conform to local time as established by municipal regulation.
With regard to the sessions of Parliament, which now begin every afternoon at three o'clock, except upon Wednesdays, when the session begins at two o'clock standard time, it has not yet been intimated to thp Government what official action will be "taken by the city of Ottawa;-that we shall know by to-morrow.
We also desire to await the decision of the Board of Railway Commissioners on the question of railway time tables, which will be before it for consideration to-morrow! The House will therefore meet to-morrow by standard time, as it has met to-day. After we have received official information as to the action taken by the City of Ottawa 
and the decision of the Board of Railway Commissioners, I shall announce to the House the course which will be suggested by the Government with respect to the hour of the meeting of Parliament, having regard to the convenience of members.


Sir SAM HUGHES:: I should like to ask a question concerning another aspect of this matter. Railway corporations undoubtedly have the right to change their time tables, but has the Government considered what authority these corporations have for. changing the time?


William Thomas White: That question is .at present before the Board tof Railway Commissioners for determination.


Samuel Hughes: They may change their time tables, but not the time.


William Thomas White: I understand that it is the question of change of time tables that is before the Board of Railway Commissioners.


Samuel Hughes: Is it the question of time tables, or the question of a change of time on the part of the railway companies? Any railway system may change its time table, but they may not change the time.


William Thomas White: The railways have changed the time and that question will come before the Board of Railway Commissioners to-morrow for determination as they may deem proper.
PRIVILEGE-Mr. GAUVREAU.


Mr. C. A. GAUVREAU (Temiscouata):: I rise to a question of privilege. In Friday's Hansard I am reported as follows, in connection with the Bill brought down by the Minister of Railways (Hon. J. D. Reid) to provide corhpensation to Government employees who are killed or injured:
I should like to see this Bill pass, and the only provision to which I take exception is that providing: that " for the future " dependents will he paid.
If Hansard had reported me as saying just the reverse, Mr. Speaker, it would have reported me correctly, because the Minister of Railways is my witness that I helped him to pass the Bill. What I said was that if only for the sake of that very provision to which Hansard reports me as taking objection, I should be glad to support the Bill. I am sorry to have been reported as I was, because many railway employees in my riding will get the impression that I objected to the clause providing for future dependents.


Mr. SPEAKER:: I will see that the necessary correction is made.



MILITARY SERVICE ACT DEFAULTERS.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Charles Arthur Gauvreau: Is the Acting Minister of Justice aware of the feeling of unrest which prevails throughout the country because of the imprisonment of young men who are unable to pay the $500 fine imposed by the last Order in Council with reference to defaulters under the Military Service Act? Is it the intention of the Government to take less drastic steps in this matter or to grant a general amnesty to all concerned ?


Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Acting Minister of Justice):: The Government is not aware, so far as I know, of any very general unrest in this connection. The question of amendment of the regulations and of the law is, of course, one thing, while the question of amnesty or clemency is another. Certain well-defined rules have been adapted on the latter subject, which, I think, do not err on the side of being too drastic. The matter of amendment to the law is not under immediate consideration.



PAYMENTS TO SIR CHARLES FITZPATRICK.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
William Thomas White: I desire to read to the House a letter which I have received from Right Honourable Sir Charles Fitzpatrick:
March 29, 1919.
Sirr
Mr. Edward's resolution
In view of the statement which you made to the House, Wednesday last, and which is clearly correct in fact and in law, namely, that the money provided by the two votes in 1915-16 and 1916-17 was paid to me by way of special allowance, was received by me in good faith, and was legally and regularly so paid in monthly payments by the officers of the Finance Department upon the authorization of the Auditor General, and in view of the fact that some members of the House state that they understood the two votes in question in a sense different from that which their language clearly bears and from the sense in which I understood and was justified in understanding it, I enclose herewith my cheque for five thousand dollars in your favour as Acting Prime Minister to be paid over to the Dominion Treasury.	,
Yours truly,
- C. Fitzpatrick.
The Hon. Sir Thomas White, K.C.M.G.,
Acting Prime Minister,
Ottawa, Ont.
I have received the cheque in question and have endorsed it over to the credit of the Receiver General of Canada.

[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

[Stage Direction]
MOTION BY MR. MeCURDY THAT WOUNDED SOLDIERS BE GIVEN PREFERENCE.
Mr. F. B. MeCURDY (Colchester) moved:
That, in the opinion of this House, the Civil Service Act should be amended so that, while having full regard to efficiency, a preference in appointments to the public service shall be afforded to imemlbers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who have become casualties in a theatre of war.
He said: All hon. members know that from 1914 to 1917, while appeals were being pressed on the manhood of Canada to voluntarily enlist in the military forces, undertakings both direct and implied were given from every recruiting platform to those who were being urged to join. Intending recruits were assured that, come good, come ill, Canada would see that after the war every reasonable consideration would at all times be afforded to those who responded to the call. I confidently state that these commitments were made with the practically unanimous consent of all Canada. And furthermore, were a similar world condition to confront Canada to-morrow, and should it become necessary to raise a large army by voluntary enlistment, I have no doubt that similar undertakings would again unhesitatingly be given.
The Government has not been at all idle in preparing to honour the country's obligations. It has created a good deal of machinery designed to facilitate the return of the soldier to civil life. It has provided medical and instructional services, established an elaborate pensioning system, and is now engaged in the establishment of a Soldiers' Land Settlement organization. But much remains to be done, and it must be particularly remembered that the best results can be assured only when all agencies dealing with the problem are fully or-ordinated and harmonized. For the purpose at which this resolution is aimed, the practice of the Civil Service Commission must undoubtedly be in concord with the policy of the Government.
Quite recently I was requested to make inquiry of the Civil Service Commission regarding the appointment of an officer in the public service in Nova Scotia. In response to notices sent out by the Commission two applications had been lodged. Both were from discharged soldiers, one having got as far as England and from
there returned to Canada for discharge, while the other, who had been wounded in France, had incurred a permanent partial disability of his left hand. Somewhat to my surprise I learned that, in practice, both these classes of returned soldiers were regarded by the Commissioners as possessing equal claims to appointment so far as their service records were concerned. That, the Commissioners advised, was the interpretation placed on the Civil Service Act. While we all appreciate the admirable spirit that impelled those who did not get further than England-as it did others- to enlist, it is undoubtedly in the public mind that those active service men who have sacrificed and suffered most best deserve preferment at the Government's hands. I am advised that in view of the decision of the Civil Service Commissioners, any alteration or rectification in cases such as I have referred to can be effected only by amendment to the Civil Service Act.
I will not give any opinion as to whether or not the Civil Service Commission are correctly interpreting the Civil Service Act, or whether or not they are following the policy of the Government in this matter. If they are facilitating a Government policy, then I am bound to say that in my opinion the Government has not correctly interpreted the opinion of hon. members of this House. Indeed, if the Civil Service Act really bore the interpretation that the Commission has placed upon it I feel that the Government would have been supported by this House in altering by Order in Council under the W'ar Measures Act this detail in order that the most deserving class should be fully protected. However, what is past is gone, and I am advised that it will largely meet the present situation if hon. members will support the resolution proposed. To them I confidently appeal.
In urging the particular claims of those who have become casualties, I do not for a moment wish to prejudice the rights,- already acknowledged by statute,-of any other one who has been on active service. I am satisfied that the purpose can be accomplished without creating any injustice anywhere.
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I would ask: Is it not eminently .fitting that, efficiency granted, the public service of Canada should, to as great an extent as possible be carried on by those who have already served their country in a vastly more difficult and sterner field of activity? And, asa matter of course, those who in the discharge of their military duties had incurred physical disabilities would, I take it, be
[Stage Direction]
as gladly supported for preference by the public generally, as they are by their equally gallant but more fortunate unwounded comrades.
Mr. W. F. COCKSHUTT (Brantford):: Would there be any objection to extending the resolution to include Canadians who have served in the British Expeditionary Force and in the Air Service?


Mr. McCURDY:: I see no objection.


Mr. DANIEL LEE REDMAN (Calgarj East):: As I said some time ago, the main problem underlying the demobolization of our returned soldiers is that of employment. This is a duty which the people of Canada must seriously consider, if we are to avoid any difficulties with our returned men. The Government must also regard it as a duty which they owe these men, because they were instrumental in sending them overseas. When the State undertakes the disposition of certain classes of its citizens in various fields of activity, and, as in this case, send men to war, they must assume responsibility for the care of those who return with disabilities that handicap or prejudice them in the occupations which they formerly followed.
I think, further, that it is perfectly reasonable to say that returned soldiers should go into the Civil Service. Ordinarily, we do not recommend our friends to go into the Civil Service, but men who have been overseas for the last three or four years, who have suffered somewhat in their mental capacity because of their experiences and the shocks which they have received, or who have suffered physical disabilities, require that sense of security and steadiness which can be obtained in the Civil Service, perhaps, to a greater extent than any other line of activity in Canada. The Government, as the hon. member who has just spoken has stated, has given promises in that regard and I feel that the Government will take exactly the same view of this matter that they took when they made those promises.
I have no fault to find with the administration of the Civil Service Commission, but I do say that the Civil Service Act is not as well suited as it might be to the purpose of giving to returned men employment in the Civil Service. That Act was passed last year. I think I am correct in saying that every hon. member of this House is anxious that all returned soldiers who desire to enter the Civil Service, having regard to the efficiency of the service, should be given that opportunity. I think

the House will be willing to consider how the Act passed last year has fulfilled the desire of the House and the country in regard to the employment in the Civil Service of returned soldiers. Previous to the passing of this Act, and under the old patronage system, every member gave the positions coming under his control to returned men. Under the old system the member was amenable to the pressure of public opinion and he was directly responsible to the returned soldiers and to the people in his own community. Did that system still obtain, returned soldiers would to-day have practically all the positions in the Civil Service which become vacant. But, under the Civil Service Act, that element of responsibility on the member of Parliament has been eliminated.
We might look for a moment to see what the results have been under the Civil Service Act since that Act has been in force. We find by the figures which have been issued by the Civil Service Commission itself, that the following appointments have been made since the Act came into force:-
Permanent	 1,672
Temporary	! [	1C570
Total	 16,242
Of that 16,242 appointments made in one year 1,834 were returned soldiers. I must say in fairness to the commissioners that a large number of these appointments were stenographers which is a class of employment in which the soldier does not as a rule compete. However, I think that these figures in themselves are a fair indication of the truth of what I say. I do not believe that the returned soldiers are getting a sufficient number of positions in the Government service under the Civil Service Act which Parliament passed last year. The first point in the Act which I think might well be amended is this. It is provided by paragraph (a) of section 39 of the Civil Service Act that soldiers who have obtained sufficient marks in examination to pass shall be placed on the list at the head of all other candidates.
While it is true that many civilians are being appointed to positions in the Civil Service, the Commission have been doing what they could to provide soldiers with the necessary qualifications with positions.. But, especially in the West advertisements come out only a day or so ahead of the time that a man must send in his return in order that it may be received within the prescribed limit of time. We have coming back to Canada some 500,000 men and I do not think I will be going too far when I ask

this House to put it up to the Civil Service Commission to confine the appointment of male employees to returned soldiers. If that were put up to them they would know exactly where they stood, and they could send out the notices as to vacancies earlier. They might use the machinery of the Soldiers Civil Re-Establishment department, act through their labour representative in each district and get in touch with the returned soldier who might be available so that when a position is open a soldier will be ready for it. We might amend this Act for one year; or, we might amend it from year to year so that the condition would not extend for a longer time than was necessary, but for one year at least we might provide that none but returned soldiers should be allowed to compete in an examination where male employees are required. That is the first proposition I would make. Perhaps some honourable members may think that in proposing that I am going too far, but even if they take that viewpoint I would say to them that such a position would be much easier to maintain than the present position, which is certainly not going far enough.
Under section 15 of the Civil Service Act it is provided that the Civil Service Commission may appoint to positions requiring technical or professional knowledge without examination. That refers to positions requiring the knowledge of some profession or some other kind of technical knowledge. The Commission themselves, I must say, have gone as far as they could under that provision. They are not appointing without competitive examination all the people requiring technical or professional knowledge but they are as far as possible holding competitive examinations under that section. But there are under that clause, positions which are being filled without any examination and when no examination is held no preference is given returned soldiers. The Stead case, which was discussed in the House a few days ago, came under section 15 of the Act. While a competitive examination is required for all the lower positions in the service, and while it is in this class that preference is given to soldiers, in dealing with technical or professional positions no preference whatever is given to soldiers and we have the Stead case as an illustration of this. In addition to that, in the city of Calgary, we had some time ago, a civilian young man appointed to the position of assistant receiver general. There is no question in the world that a soldier could have been obtained properly qualified and trained to
fill that position. Nothing to my mind creates such a feeling of distrust or sense of unfairness among soldiers as to see a young civilian appointed to a position which a soldier could have filled. Usually that feeling is not manifested on the part of the particular soldier who wanted the position but on the part of other soldiers who have returned and who feel that it is the duty of the Government to provide for those who are not quite so well able to fight their own battles as those who have not suffered the shock of war. If there is any one thing that causes a feeling of distrust on the part of the soldiers, it is the appointment-in violation of the promises which this Government and this Parliament have made-of a civilian to a position which a soldier could have filled.
There is no preference whatever given to the dependents of soldiers. We should not throw the preference open to all relatives of soldiers but there is one class of soldiers' dependents who are well defined, a class who are in effect wards of the State, and that is the class who are obtaining pensions. By paying them pensions we admit that their male relatives, on whom they ar.e dependent for support, have either been killed or have received such injuries in the war that these dependents have been deprived of their means of support.
I think that this Act should contain a clause that those soldiers' dependents who are receiving a pension should be put in the same class as soldiers in competitive examinations and have the same preference as they have. In the case of soldiers there really is no age limit because any one who has been admitted into the army lias to undergo a medical examination and is pronounced quite fit and able to carry on, but as to dependents there would have to be an age limit.
Another point that has created a great deal of difficulty is that of promotion. Section 45 of the Act provides that :
Vacancies shall be filled, as far as consistent with the best interests of the Civil Service, by promotion.
Now we must all admit that promotions within the Civil Service should be a very tower of strength to it-that is to say, the hope of promotion should inspire the civil servant with ambition, and with the desire to do better work. But the soldiers' viewpoint is this: Under the present Civil Service Act practically every higher position in the Civil Service is being filled by promotion, and when we explain that to the soldiers they say. "When we went away, these positions used to be filled on the

recommendation of the local member; you tell us that you are going to give all vacant positions to soldiers; and yet you ask us to consider a scheme whereby you argue us out of these appointments, and the only positions we can get to-day in the Civil Service are the very lowest ones, and not all of those." In Calgary a famous case came up famous as far as I was concerned because even yet, although it happened a year and a quarter ago, protests against that appointment have not ceased. That was an appointment made to the Banff Park superintendency, which was made clearly in accordance with the Civil Service Act. Previously that position had been filled on the recommendation'of the member for the constituency, as I think practically all other appointments in the Outside Service were made. To-day, however, those appointments are made by promotion, and my view is that it would only be fair to the soldiers to say that hereafter these appointments should be given to them, and not only that but they should be eligible for those positions which are now regarded as promotions under the Act. Of course that could only go on for a year or two until the soldiers are absorbed into civil life, and my idea in urging this is that in the meantime the soldiers shall not suffer.
At the present time there are two classes of casualties in the country going to make up the total of two hundred thousand in our Army. The first class consists of those men who were wounded but that recovered to such an extent that their ability to carry on their ordinary work is by no means impaired. The second class consists of those whose wounds have been such as to unfit them in varying degrees to carry on their previous occupation. I feel, as the hon. member who proceeded me felt, that even over other spldiers the preference should be given to these casualties. That class can be very easily defined: they are the class to whom we pay pensions and an exact limit can be placed upon them. Not only should we give them a preference over other soldiers, but I think we should go even further. We should, if necessary, provide positions for these disabled men, not by making new positions, but by granting power to the Civil Service Commission to dismiss, if necessary, young men who had been appointed to the Civil iServiee since 1914, when war broke out. Let me make my position clear: I think that the Civil Service Commission should have the right to use their best discretion and select for dismissal, as likely to do the least harm, the young 
unmarried man, who was appointed while the war was in progress, and replace him by a soldier who has been so disabled that he is unable to carry on his previous avocation. That is, perhaps, a drastic proposition to make, but I believe it to be the duty of this Government towards these men who^ have been disabled in the country's service. I believe the Government can do that without any great amount of unfairness to any individual who was so appointed, and without violating any principle.


Samuel Hughes: Will the hon. member kindly define what he means by a "casualty"?


Daniel Lee Redman: Technically it means any one who has appeared in the Army Orders as a casualty.
Sir 6AM HUGHES: You do not include shell-shocked men in that category.


Daniel Lee Redman: No. Such a man is not an offcial casualty. One would have to be a mind reader to determine all such cases.
Sir SAM HUGHES': That is the point I want to see explained.


Daniel Lee Redman: There may be cases that are not casualties that are suffering from these disabilities, and if any way could be devised to include them in the classes of men meriting better treatment, I should be only too pleased.
I have enumerated the different points I had in my mind with respect to this matter. I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not indulging in any criticism of the Government, or of the iCivil Service; I am simply pointing out to the House the defects which I think exist in the Act passed last year, defects which should be remedied since we all have the intention of doing full justice to the returned soldier.
I do not think anything which I have suggested will weaken in any way the efficiency of the service. It is rather a question of seeing that those who are more entitled than others to positions in.
4 p.m. the Civil Service are given that preference to which they deserve. I do not think there is anything to-day which is causing more distrust amongst returned soldiers than the appointment of young civilians to positions in the Civil Service.
Sir	SAM	HUGHES:	I	heartily
endorse the views expressed by the hon. member for Calgary (Mr. Redman) and the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy).
I would go a little further and broaden the

word casualty so as to include those who saw active service in the trenches that is men who fought in the trenches-because the fact that a man may have got a slight wound in the arm does not give him any better claim to a position over the soldier who fought alongside him for three years and happened to miss being hit. But that is merely a detail, which is covered by the remarks of the hon. member for Calgary.
I want to point out-while II am sorry to see the returned soldiers all looking for Civil Service positions, I would rather see them take their place in the broad fields of life and become more useful citizens to the country than civil servants can possibly become-that the remarks of the gentleman (Mr. Redman) are worthy of most serious consideration. I have been making inquiries throughout the country, as to whether the soldiers who have returned from the trenches have been reinstated in their old positions by the employers, or have taken other work, and with one or two exceptions, where men had been more or less disturbed by shell-shock, I have received most gratifying reports. I was speaking to the hon. member for Haldimand (Mr. Lalor) the other night and he mentioned that every man who had returned to his service, and he has many of them, is an infinitely better man than he was before he went overseas. As an old educator 1 have always been opposed to technical examinations for promotion, and I think that every educator in the country, who has studied the matter, will agree that technical examinations constitute no test of efficiency whatever, or very little. I would like to have the Government consider the matter from that viewpoint, that is, instead of having an applicant examined for a position by gentlemen who know nothing about the qualities of a soldier and mighty little about the duties of the office to which the applicant is aspiring, that these examinations should be limited practically to returned soldiers, and that the commission should give the benefit on every occasion to the returned soldier who is applying. Because, mark my words, the man coming back from the front is a much stronger and better man, nine times out of ten, except by reason of his physical incapacity, than if he had never gone to the war. The best men are those who had gone through the furnace of war
I would also like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that it would be well to have regard to the honourable casualty. There are casualties that are not
very creditable but, thank fortune, they aj*(j very verv few. A friend was telling me about a man who had made a great to-do about getting a position. My friend asked him for his medical sheet and his service record-his crime report; he never got them, and the man ceased applying. He had not been to the front at all. I think it would be well to make sure that we are getting the very best of these splendid fellows appointed to these positions. I thought all these positions were being filled by returned soldiers, and I was very much surprised to hear that that is not being done. I think the returned soldier is entitled to everything that can be given to him. I suggest that the motion should be enlarged so as to take in the men who have served at the front.


Mr. ROBERT JAMES MANION (Fort William and Rainy River):: I wish to support the motion of the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) and the hon. member for Calgary (Mr. Redman). My recollection of the passing of this Civil Service Bill was that if say ten men passed the examination for a Civil Service appointment, and one of those men was a returned soldier, that he, would be given the preference, no matter where he stood on the examination list. If I understood wrongly, then I think such a rule should be put in force.
The hon. member for Brantford (Mr. Cockshutt) made a point during the debate to the effect that the Canadians who had enlisted in the Imperial forces should be considered in filling these positions. I think any resolution to be passed by this House should embrace those men. I believe in filling all these positions with returned men. For instance, supposing in my constituency there is a vacancy in the Civil Service, but there is not in the neighbouring constituency an eligible man, I think some effort should be made to get a returned soldier from some other part of Canada for that position.
There is one little point more or less in connection with this that I would like to mention here. It is in regard to returned soldiers already working in some branch of the Civil Service. In my city at the present time a number of men on the grain inspection staff are laid off after the rush of the season is over. East year and the year before among the men laid off were a number of returned soldiers. The Great War Veterans' Association opposed this very vigorously, and perhaps they de-

mantled more than the department could see its way to give, because I think the department wanted to be quite fair to these men. On each occasion I brought the case to the notice of the department in charge, and I explained that I thought they should keep on an efficient staff, and that in addition they should keep on, even at a loss, any returned soldiers who were working on that staff. In the past year out of 80 men between Fort William, Port Arthur and Winnipeg, it only meant keeping on some ten or fifteen returned soldiers. That may seem unreasonable, but we as members of this Parliament have been asking the private corporations of this country to do that very thing, and, to be consistent, the least we can do is to ask our Government to do the same. It is boo late to remedy this matter this year. No doubt the department acted in good faith on the advice of its officials, but I believe that advice was wrongly given. I told the men who gave this advice in Fort William that I thought they gave it wrongly. They did not mean to be unfair, but they were unfair to the returned soldiers. I hope next year those returned soldiers will be retained in their positions as far as possible. I do not like to go so far as to suggest that other men should be laid off to give positions to returned soldiers, but I do not think returned soldiers should be laid off when we are asking private corporations to retain them.
One word in regard to shell shock, although there has been no extended discussion on that subject. Many men who have suffered from shell shock at the front are just as much casualties as the men who have been wounded. I have seen men come into my dugout in the front line who had seen some man wounded beside them; they were not wounded, but their nervous system was so completely shot to pieces, that they were in a much worse condition perhaps than the wounded man. Many of these cases are marked "shell shock wound" and are given a stripe to denote it, and a very large percentage deserve that stripe. I support very strongly the hon. members for Colchester and Calgary and hope that this resolution will carry.
/Hon. MAKTIN BURRELL (Secretary of State): Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) has laid a resolution before the House which in fact advances the principle of a preference within a preference. It demands the sympathy of the House with respect to the matters it deals with, and that sympathy will not be any the less by reason of the fact that the [Mr. Man ion. 1
resolution has been spoken to by two members of this House, both of whom have done gallant service at the front, and not . on]y have they distinguished themselves there, but they have created a most favourable impression in this House.
I call the attention of the House to the fact that a resolution bearing on this matter was brought down by the hon. member for North Grey in 1916, though it did not go as far as the resolution now under discussion. That resolution read:
That, in the opinion of this House, in all future appointments to the Civil Service of Canada, preference should be given to those properly qualified candidates who have served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the present war.
Although that resolution only spoke of a preference for Canadian soldiers generally, the hon. member who brought the resolution before the House at that time made this statement:
As all those who return will not be able to secure appointments in the Civil Service, we shall have to create a preferential class among them, and in doing so, no doubt we shall take into consideration the fact that those who have been wounded, but who after a certain time will be able to perform the duties appertaining to civil servants, should be given preferential ti eatment among those who have served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
The Prime Minister also spoke in that debate and referred to the Order in Council which was passed on November 27, 1917: It is as follows:
-	 wu. uic x uvj1 uuuuun, on tne
recommendation of the Right Hon. the Prime Minister, advise that in making appointments to the Government Civil Service, preference be given to the returned members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, especially those who through disability occasioned by active military service are unable to fill their previous occupations; such appointments to be subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Act and to be made with due regard to the capacity of any applicant to discharge the duties of the position to which it is proposed to appoint him.
Subsequently, as hon. members know, a provision was put in the Civil Service Act which, while not going as far, perhaps, as the resolution proposed by my hon. friend, did give general preference to returned soldiers. I sympathize with the view of my hon. friend, supported by the member for Calgary (Mr. Redman) that the policy of the Civil Service Commission should be in accord with the principles enunciated in that provision and laid down by the members who have just spoken. Of course, the mover of the resolution and the member for Calgary must recognize as we all do, the difficulties which surround this ques-

tion. I am sure that the Civil Service Commission are doing the best they can. Of course, there will be mistakes. Some time ago objection was raised because returned soldiers who were applicants for certain positions were required to show that they had had a number of years' office experience. Lately the regulations have been amended so as to dispense with that requirement where it can be shown that it is not necessary, and that the soldiers are sufficiently experienced in a broad way without requiring that specific number of years' office experience.
There may be a good deal in what the member for Calgary has said with regard to the commission giving proper notice and providing a proper length of time to enable soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity presented to them of getting a position.
As to the question of dependents, I would not like to say very much about that except to remark, in passing, that the dependent as ordinarily construed is one who is really a dependent; if he is able to earn a livelihood, in a sense he would no longer be a dependent. I assume what my hon. friend means that extra sympathy should be shown and attention given to those who are near relatives to soldiers who have seen service.
Mr. REDMAlN: When a man receives a pension it means that he has lost certain means of support.


Martin Burrell: At all events, that will have full attention and sympathy.
The member for Victoria (Sir Sam Hughes) spoke of examinations and rather deprecated the holding of examinations for technical positions. I can understand the difficulties that might be encountered in that respect. If, for instance, a returned soldier wanted a position in mining, geological or entomological work, it is quite obvious that technical knowledge might be necessary in order to determine his usefulness in that line of work.
I should deprecate as much as the member for Calgary-the practice-I can understand it would arouse resentment if it were generally followed- of appointing young civilians to positions when it was possible to get returned soldiers who could anything like fill the positions. I doubt whether there are any cases where such civilians have been given the preference; where it has been done, the circumstances must have been very exceptional. Having regard to the enormous number of appointments
under consideration, I have no doubt that occasional mistakes are made, but I am sure that the Civil Service Commission are in sympathy with the principles laid down in this respect. For myself, I feel, as the House generally does, that no consideration is too great for those men who crossed the seas in order to fight in those days of peril for the perpetuation of our institutions. There have been cases-I am sure my hon. friend would be the last to deny it-where soldiers have been given positions who have made it very difficult for the authorities to retain them because of their having shown little aptitude or desire to do the work; and it has been naturally a painful business to dismiss them by virtue of the fact that they are returned soldiers. Yet in some cases it has been practically impossible to retain such a man because of the manner in which he did the work. On the other hand, employers generally and the public should have the strongest and most abundant sympathy for men who have been wounded, especially, perhaps, for those who have been shell-shocked, and who having been given positions do the very best in them, but who cannot do as well as they might if they were restored to a normal state of health. The vast majority of men who have returned from the front whether wounded or unwounded-and one thinks more sympathetically of those who have been wounded -after facing the stark realities of life and death over there during three or more grim years of war, will not only be bigger men all round, but will, in the long run, do better than ever before in whatever particular class of work they were formerly engaged.
I do not suppose that the mover of the resolution intends to press it to a vote, because the Civil Service Act is going to be amended. Amendments will be brought down within the next few weeks, when these and other points may very well be taken up. In the meantime the attention of the Civil Service Commissioners will be directed to the motion of my hon. friend and to the discussion that has taken place on it. When the amendments are brought down opportunities will be afforded to the mover of the resolution, and to those who have spoken, to press the points on which they have touched.
Mr. W. F, NICKLE (Kingston): Before the member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) takes advantage of his right to close this debate or decides whether or not he will withdraw his resolution, I should like to

make a few remarks on the matter under discussion.
I have listened with a great deal of interest to the discussion this afternoon, more particularly to the remarks of the minister (Hon. Mr. Burrell). When he said that the matter would be taken into sympathetic consideration, he reminded me of a story I read some years ago of a colonel, who, passing down the Strand in London, saw a private of his regiment selling mutton pies by the street side. He stopped and spoke to him, and discovering the condition in which the man was, said: " You have my deepest sympathy"; to which the man replied: " Darn your sympathy; buy a pie." It is not sympathy that the returned soldier wants or that those of us who are speaking this afternoon on his behalf, desire. What he wants is recognition by way of appointment, recognition in the Civil Service, recognition throughout the country.


Martin Burrell: I hope my hon. friend is not arguing that I offered plain sympathy without asserting any intention of doing anything in a practical way, for such is not the case.


Mr. NICKLE:: 
Mr. MORPHY:: Is not that exactly what the Civil Service Commission are doing ?
Mr. N'ICKLE:	If my hon. friend will
allow me to proceed I will explain my position in a few moments. The net result of paragraph (a) was this: That where the minimum number of marks was obtained, the soldier should go to the top. But, in part, the difficulties arising at the present time are in connection with professional or technical positions, which, as the hon. member for Calgary states are filled without an examination being held. In that class of cases the Commission have no such regard for what I might call the preferential treatment set out in paragraph (a) of section 39, or by section 45 which established a principle that was not recognized when patronage .was in the control of private members. Then, promotion was not an essential of recognization:	it
was a question of selection, and not necessarily of promotion. But section 45 provided that :
Vacancies shall be filled, as far as is consistent with the best interests of the Civil Service, by promotion.
To put the matter briefly it comes down to this. Where there is an examination, either competitive or otherwise, marks being the determining factor, the returned successful soldier goes to the top of the list, but where it is a question of technical or professional qualification, the Civil 'Service Act makes no provision for such recognition of the returned or disabled soldier; and where it is a question of promotion, no recognition is given to the returned soldier as such.	>
Recently I have received from three organizations in my riding three resolutions. The first is a resolution passed on the 11th day of March by the Great War Veterans' Association, and reads as follows:
That this association, is of the opinion that the present practice of the Civil Service Commission in not carrying out its avowed policy in dealing with returned men deserves strong condemnation.
Another resolution was passed by the Soldiers' Aid Commission for the city of Kingston, and as you know, Mr. Speaker, the Soldiers' Aid Commission is organized for the express purpose of aiding and obtaining employment for the returned soldier. This resolution reads:
That this branch of the Soldiers' Aid Commission of the province of Ontario should go on reoord as favouring a change in the existing regulations of the Civil Service Commission, making it possible for returned men to secure government positions and appointments with the least possible amount of difficulty, haying due regard for the efficiency of the service; that every opportunity should be given at all times for the returned soldier to qualify for Civil Service positions, and that in the filling of positions rendered vacant by any cause, a returned soldier, all other things being equal, shall have the preference, and shall be given every chance to qualify.
'The Army and Navy Veterans' Association also passed a resolution unanimously supporting the resolution as moved in this House this afternoon by the hon. member for Colchester (IMr. McCurdy).
The hon. member for North iPerth (Mr. Morphy) asked me a question a few moments ago, and it was a very, very pertinent question and merits, I think, a careful answer, and I want for the edification of the House as well as of the hon. member to read two sets of letters which I think will make clear that the Civil Service Commission, while they may be endeavouring-to give them every credit-to carry out the principles of the Civil Service Act-are through the details of the regulations and the restriction of sections 15 and 45, not able to implement as fully as the House would desire the rights of the returned soldiers. In reading these letters, I do not intend to give the names of the soldiers mentioned therein. One letter dated December 23, 1918, was written by myself to the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, Ottawa:-
Kingston, Ontario, December 23rd, 1918.
Chairman,
Civil Service Commission,
Ottawa, Ont.
Dear Mr. Roche:
Mr. X. of this city went overseas as a member of the C.E.F. and had the misfortune to

lose his right arm close to the shoulder. Prior to going overseas, he had had excellent experience in his father's factory and is thoroughly conversant with the management of men, general manufacturing, and ordinary commercial bookkeeping work and methods. He now desires to devote his energies to something that offers a prospect of advancement. I suggested some position akin to that of assistant postmaster, assistant collector of customs, or other work requiring honesty, energy and application. I wish you would send me the necessary form of application and also advise me if you know of any vacancy. I can speak in the highest terms of the young rnan who expects shortly to return to England to be married, and is therefore anxious to know something definite in regard to his future.
To which I received the following reply, dated December 27th:-
December 27, 1918.
Dear Sir,-I beg to acknowledge yours of the 23rd on behalf of Mr. X.
I am enclosing you a form of application for temporary employment which Mr. X. might fill in and return to -the Commission, so that we may have his name on file in the event of temporary help being requisitioned for by any of the departments in the line for which Mr, X.'s qualifications would fit him.
As you are aware, under the Civil Service Act 1918, all clerical positions of a permanent character must he filled after passing the regular Civil Service examination. We will have a large list of eligibles as a result of our examinations held on the 13th instant. There are other positions, however, of a special or technical character that you no doubt see advertized in the Canada Gazette from time to time and which advertisements are copied into the press of the country and are also sent to public institutions and to all the branches of the Great War Veterans' Associations, etc., which positions do not require the passing of the regular academic examination but are thrown open to public competition and selections are made on merit, returned soldiers of course being given the preference, all other things being equal.
The hon. member for North Perth (Mr. Morphy) will now realize why I did not answer his question at the moment he asked it. That letter of the Civil Service Commission stipulates a provision that is very detrimental to the returned soldier, namely, that if he has not passed the examination held at the regular period he is prevented from recognition until another examination is held. And as these examinations are held only every two or three months, or, perhaps, every five or six months, the man who came back on the 27th of December, 1918, according to the terms of that letter in so far as I have read it-and I purpose to read it to the end, was denied recognition at least until the next examination was held. Now I shall proceed with the letter:
There is at the present time no request before the Commission to fill such position's as you have mentioned, namely assistant post-

master, assistant collector of customs, etc., but such positions are filled by promotion if there is any person on the staff qualified to fill same. If new appointments of this nature are required to be made, open competition is invited.
The letter is concluded in the formal manner.
As regards recognition by promotion, the gentleman on whose behalf I wrote had no chance Whatever unless he began at the bottom, no matter what his capabilities were. Because he had given up a position of ease and affluence and gone to the war, in which he lost an arm, he was in an infinitely more disadvantageous position than the man who remained at home and held his position in the Civil Service. The latter receives promotion, whereas the man who went overseas, was injured and could not resume his former employment, would be obliged to start at the bottom with $500 or $600 a year. The man who' stayed at home is promoted to a position that is worth $2,000 or $2,500 a year.
Hon, Mr. MACLEAN: Suppose he were an elderly man who could not go overseas, and who could not be expected to do so, should he not be given promotion?


William Folger Nickle: I will say frankly that I think each case must be considered on its merits in relatinn to the situation that exists at the time. If the man who holds a position in the Civil .Service is an aged man with a family, and has given honest and faithful service, while the man desiring recognition is a young man, I think in all fairness the elderly man should get the preference, and if possible the younger man be given the position next vacant. But if a young man holds an important position won by ability and application, and the man returned from overseas is married and has two or three children, the recognition should he given to the man who has been to the front. Underlying this, the broad principle should be that the returned man, particularly if he is capable, should be regarded with singular care and sympathy by this House, by the Government and by the commission. I shall now read another letter writen by me on March 17, 1919, to the Civil Service Commission.
Kingston, Ontario,
March 17, 1919.
The Civil Service Commission,
Ottawa, Ont.
Dear Sirs:-Mr. Y. now lives at X. street, having returned from the front where he went in ,1916. For eight months he was laid up with a broken leg and an injured neck as the result of concussion hut is now quite himself again.

He desires to be appointed as letter carrier and appears to have all the qualifications that that position would require. As he is married,-his wife and children living here with him-he would prefer an appointment to the Kingston staff, if an opportunity offers but would, if such were not available, go elsewhere. He tells me he sent in an application through the Postmaster over a month ago but has heard nothing in reference to the matter.
Please be good enough to see this letter is filed for reference.
Yours sincerely,
W. P. Niokle.
On March 20, I received this reply:
Ottawa, March 20, 1919.
Dear Sir:
I have your letter of the 17th instant, respecting- the case of Mr. Y., a returned soldier, who desires a position as Letter Carrier, if possible in Kingston Post Office. I am sending Mr. Y. an application form asking him to fill out and return it at his convenience. I may add, however, that vacancies are filled as far as possible from the lists of successful candidates at the regular examinations. When these lists are exhausted, however, other applications are considered and I can assure you that Mr. Y's case will be given every attention.
Yours truly,
(Sgd) W. Foran,
Secretary.
Mr. W. F. Nickle, Esq. M.P.,
House of Commons,
Ottawa.
The net result is that, attaching so much importance to academic- qualifications as demonstrated by examinations the returned soldier, if he is here, and successful may go to the top of the list. We are demobilizing men at the rate of 30,000 or 40,000 a month, and these men are not in a position to get recognition in examinations until the regular examination is held. The provision is also made by the Civil Service Act subsection 5 of section 39:
If there remain from a previous examination successful competitors who have not received appointments, their number shall be deducted in making the computation, and their 'names, in the order of merit, shall be placed at the top of the list to be prepared in accordance with subsection 2 of this section.
In other words if all the positions have been filled and there are ten or twelve civilians unappointed after the first examination,' should the Civil Service Commission decide to have a second examination those civilians who were successful at the first examination take priority, although soldiers may have passed in the second examination. I do not believe this was the purport of the legislation passed last session, and the Act should be amended to carry out what was undoubtedly the principle that moved this House, namely that the returned man, particularly when disabled, should be given the preference. Now in regard to the point taken in one of these letters; " all other things being equal," I remember once having heard a shepherd remark that no two sheep were alike, and that he could distinguish each by its face. I think the same thing holds true with men; no two men are exactly alike, neither have they exactly the same qualifications. The difference between some men are remarkable, and between others, trifling. But there is always a difference. If the principle is going to be laid down that the returned soldier shall get the preference only when all other things are equal, it practically means that he will be given no preference at all; because it is only when two men are equally qualified and equally entitled to a position that the returned soldier gets the preference. That nicety of selection simply means that the recognition of priority for the soldier is destroyed. I think there is a tendency to attach too much importance to academic qualifications as demonstrated by marks obtained in examinations. The academic qualification is valuable in that it indicates training and intellectual status.
Academic qualifications are all right as far as they indicate training and intellectual status but they are not all right when you attach so much importance to them that you forget what one might call aptitude, ability and resourcefulness. In the soldier's case the experience that he has had overseas will, in my judgment, in many cases, make him a better man than before he went. I believe that a man who went overseas three or four years ago and who, actively guided by a strong sense of patriotism and a consciousness that he was doing his duty, stood to his post and did his bit as a true soldier has qualifications that you cannot measure by an academic test, and which you cannot judge by his capacity to stand high in an examination in long division or in extracting the cubic root. I would not say that examinations must not be held. I admit that you must test a man's worth in some way and an academic examination is one sort of a test but I would like to see the working out of the Act so changed that when an appointment came up the list that was secured four or five weeks or perhaps seven or eight or perhaps months ago, would not be taken as the list from which the appointment would be made. I believe that some steps should be taken to find out if there were any returned men available who could do this work, even though those men had not made application, and if it was found on inquiry that such a man existed,

an opportunity should be given him to demonstrate his worth and, if he satisfied the commission, not necessarily by an academic examination, of his capacity to undertake the job, he should be given the position regardless of the fact that he did not have an opportunity of writing on an examination which was held in the regular course of events
I think this demand is going to grow in so far as the Civil Service is concerned -I was going to say worse and worse- but I will change that and say steadily. Men are coming back from the front and their disability claims are rapidly being adjusted by the Pension Commissioners. I suppose we will have, when we have got through, 60,000 disabled men. These are men whose earning capacity is impaired through service and the question is: Where are these men going to get employment and what is going to be the policy of the country, both from the point of view of the Government and from the point of view of the captains of industry, as to what use we are going to make of the residuum of ability that these men have?
The House will remember that pensions are not voted by way of compensation. They are not voted with respect to a man's pre-war earnings; nor are they voted with respect to his impairment in relation to his pre-war occupation. A pension is voted to a man with reference to the amount of work which it may be determined he may be able to do in the ordinary unskilled labour market of the world. The result is that many men of high technical qualifications, education and broad experience are finding themselves impaired in relation to their pre-war occupations and are unable to live adequately on the pensions that have been or will be, granted to them.
As these men, driven from their pre-war occupations, go about this country seeking new occupations, they are confronted, and are apt to be confronted more and more, with this problem that the employer has to solve: Am I justified, in relation to the Workmen's Compensation Act, under which I am now called upon to make compensation, to those of my employees who are hurt, in taking these men back again into my employ? What risk do I incur if I take back into my employment a man who is disabled .as a result of service?
The reason I allude to that point is this: The pressure under the Civil Service Act and the pressure from the country for recognition by the employment of returned men is going to depend largely on how far 
these returned men may or can be absorbed into the industrial, commercial and agricultural life of the community. The principles that underlie the Compensation Act fall into two classes. Some of the compensation acts are worked out on the principle of assessment and others on the principle of individual responsibility. Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, to an extent Manitoba, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have worked out their compensation acts on the principle of assessment. The industries of the different districts 'are divided into thirty-five or forty classes. The hazard of each is determined and a rate struck. That rate is levied on the average wage paid during the year. In some cases it runs as low as ten cents on the $100 and in others it goes as high as $4 or $5 to each $100 of wages paid during the year. The average is about one per cent of the wages paid. In Quebec and in other provinces the assessment system does not prevail. The employer is responsible for the compensation to be paid to the employee. Each factory bears its own losses, and the manufacturer is deprived of the right of setting up the old common law defence of contributory negligence and voluntary incurment of risk. These principles are set to one side and if an accident happens the employer must pay the man who is regarded, so to .speak, as a part of the -machinery of the factory, and if a part of the machinery is injured the responsibility for compensation is thrown on the owner of the industry. There is no escaping the obligation. That obligation, in those provinces in which individual responsibility prevails, is largely met by the manufacturers carrying insurance in some of the line companies that carry on that class of insurance. You can readily see from this that the problem which confronts the employer coming under either of the two systems is if he takes back the returned man and the compensation for disability is increased. If this happens to be 'an employment in which many men are engaged, consideration is not so important as in the smaller employments where a few men are engaged. If only two or three are engaged the responsibility will make a tremendous increase in the risk. I am quite willing to admit that the great majority of the employers of this country are patriotic. I am quite willing to admit that the great majority of employers are anxious to take back into their employment men who left them to go overseas. They are anxious in so far as they can, to give

employment to the men who have returned and are looking for work although, when they went overseas they may not have been employed in the particular factory of the employer, who is asked to take them on. But, we must follow that out and find where we are being led. There is no question-it cannot be disputed-that where a man has suffered any disability he will be more awkward and less alert than the man who has not suffered such a disability. Working about rapidly moving machinery which is the very backbone of industry to-day, that man may not find his senses as keen and cannot respond as rapidly to the premonitions of danger as the man who has his full faculties about him. The restrictions under which he works tend to increase accidents. If, these accidents do increase, as accidents are bound to increase I think that the dollar and cents argument will be likely to prevail. The economic argument will be felt' that each man must endeavour to conduct his factory on a basis to enable him to compete with those who are not as patriotic as himself. As that argument begins to be felt, or as that pressure begins to be felt, there will arise a tendency not to keep the returned man in the employ of this industry or that. Now I had a very striking instance of that a few months ago. There is in my riding a shipbuilding company who are anxious, and have always been glad, to give the returned man recognition. A returned man came into my office and told me he could not get work. I asked the shipbuilding company would they take him on, and they said, "Send him down," and they gave him work. He had not worked there more than a few weeks, when one day, whilst walking across a narrow bridge, he had a fit of dizziness, fell off the bridge and was drowned, with the result that I believe some four or five thousand dollars has been, or will have to be, paid to his dependents. That claim is going to be thrown on the shipbuilding industry. Naturally that industry would likely say, "We do not want to take on any more men like that if we have got to meet the cost incidental to such an accident." Then there is another class of cases, a very serious class, where a man has had a disability that leaves him a fair residuum of ability to carry on his ordinary work in life. We will take a man who has lost one eye, but whose other eye is perfectly good. One eye is fairly capable of doing the work that the man has to do, working about machinery, or working out of doors; but if he loses the second eye that man becomes 63
stone blind and cannot carry on his work.
A man has lost two fingers off his right hand. He is quite capable of doing his work, and doing his work well, but if in addition to the two fingers he loses two more, and loses his thumb, his whole hand is gone. Now what is to be the principle that is to underlie the recognition that is to be given under the Workmen's Compensation Act, where a man suffers an impairment, subsequent to his war disability, on going into industrial employment? Is the workman's compensation to be on the basis of the injury the man suffered through his industrial activity without relation to his war disability, or is the compensation to be determined, by the disability the man suffers in relation to his condition on the assumption that he was a whole man when he went into that employment?
Then there is another class of cases. A man comes back from the front. He has been away from the industry two or three years. He is not as skilled a man as he was when he went away. He has lost the skill that comes from long unbroken practice. He has suffered some injury at the front, say a wound that is fully healed, and he comes back into industry. While he is working along, being a bit clumsy, he gets struck right on the old wound, and the old war disability returns, and instead of taking two or three weeks it takes him five or six months to get better. Is his compensation going to be paid in respect of two or three weeks, or in respect of five or six months?	.
You ask me what are my-suggestions for these difficulties and why do I bring them up this afternoon? As I told you I bring them up because I believe they have to be met. Primarily, I bring them up because I believe if they are not met we are going to have so many men looking for Government recognition in this country by virtue of Civil Service appointments that Governments are going to be decidedly uncomfortable. You have a right to say to me" You are criticizing, do some constructing. A man of very moderate ability can be a very hitter critic; it takes a good man to be a passable performer." You have a right to ask me to become a passable performer; and I want to submit to the House a few suggeptions which I think 'it should take into its consideration. The United States, Italy, France and Great Britain have had this matter under review. They have realized that the returned man has a right to his place in the community. He has a right to his citizenship, and I mean by the



expression he has a right to his citizenship, that he has a right if he desires it when he comes back to this country to be given some employment in. which he will have a reasonable opportunity of earning his daily bread, and that he should not be made to feel in this country after having given, perhaps I might say, the best of his life, that there is no place in Canada for him, and that all he has ahead of him is to loaf the streets, living on a pittance of a pension; that there is no place in Canada where he can turn the ability he may have left to account and do something to advance the interests of his family. Nothing is worse than that. I do not sympathize with those that believe that work is a burden. I believe that work, honest work, in reason, is the salvation of mankind; and I believe that honest work for the returned soldier is going to be the very best thing that this country can offer him. Of course a pension, with respect to his disability, as well with honest work for the returned soldier is going to be the best thing that this country can offer to him if we are in the years to come to have a contented, thrifty and satisfied class in Canada, among those whom we call the returned men.
Now, the suggestion I make is this, and I divide it into three classes, because I have not had sufficient opportunity to reach a conclusion-I have not been able to get sufficient information to warrant me in finally saying what I think should be done: As I have endeavoured to explain to the House, Sir, the Workmen's Compensation Acts, all proceed on the assumption that the disabled man in industry shall get something in respect of his industrial disability. To give that compensation means that industry, as a class, or individual employers, must meet the cost. Shifting the burden of taxation does not pay the taxes. Shifting the burden incidental to the risk of employment from one industry to a 5 p.m. group of industries does not pay the compensation incidental to the occupation, it simply shifts it, so to speak, in that it equalizes the burden over the entire industry and takes it off a particular shop. I would like to suggest to the Governme'nt, therefore, that they should carefully consider this point-that they should insure all returned men as against industrial disability. This would create of the returned men a preferred class, because the manufacturers of this country would be brought to realize that the returned men put no burden on them in respect of workmen's compensation. If they took a man 
into a particular industry and an accident happened to him, the state would bear the loss, the industry would be spared that loss, and the amount, in my judgment, would not be so excessive. I believe you could dO' it at a cost of a million dollars a year, and I do not believe it should be done-at least at the beginning it should not be held out that it would be done-for more than five years, and I think the principle should not aipply to men who had not been in the army, let us say, six months or a year. Now the reason I say that the man should be in the army at least six months or a year is this: Some men were drafted into the army and were only in it a few weeks. Other men volunteered and were only in a few weeks. Some men are coming back and are going back into civil life exactly as well as when they left it, because they were not in the army long enough to be physically impaired. Others have been as I have endeavoured to show, long enough in the army to be seriously impaired, and these are the men that I think should be protected. I want to be frank with the House: In making this suggestion I am making a suggestion that will, to a certain extent, be beneficial to the employer, and will be beneficial for this reason: In all classes of industry certain men are injured, not through any negligence of the men, not through any negligence-as the law would determine negligence,-of the employer, but by what I would call unavoidable accident. A boiler may explode, a wall may fall, something of that sort may happen, by which returned men would be injured, and yet their injury would in no way be attributable to any disability they might have incurred during the war. Some people may say, "That is too broad a scheme, it is too big a scheme, the Government should not commit itself to it." If they cannot do that, insure all pensionable disabled men- as against industrial disability, who have been recognized by their being pensioned, are suffering from disability due to the fact that they have been impaired, and permanently impaired through service, or during service.
As far as I can estimate it, there will probably be 60,000 of those men, of whom about two-fifths will go into industrial or commercial pursuits. As I saici some little time ago Sir, the average protection rate is about one per cent, and it has been computed that it costs on the average about $7 a year to insure a man against industrial disability. Two-fifths of 60,000 will give us

24,000, and at $7 a man that would involve an annual expenditure of $168,000. That is all it would cost this country to insure the pensionable disabled man, and in that way I think we would guarantee them employment in the industries of this country.
But if you are not prepared to do that, then let us at least think of this, which although not nearly enough, is something that the returned man is entitled to be given .insurance against, the increased liability to industrial accidents due to his disability.
If the loss of one eye is valued at 30 per cent by the Pension Board, and by the Workmen's Compensation Board, then when a man loses one eye during service he will be given a pension of 30 per cent, and if he loses the other eye, becoming totally blind, the industrial compensation being only another 30 per cent, then the man who has become stone blind in industrial service will only get 60 per cent, unless the aggravated disability of 70 per cent is charged against industry by the Compensation Board. Surely that man is entitled' to a hundred per cent disability. If the Government is not prepared to adopt either of the first two schemes, surely the suggestion I make in regard to insurance against increased liability for aggravation from industrial accidents is something that this country should and likely will be willing to undertake.
It is a responsibility which should not be shifted on to the employers. I recognize their patriotism, their anxiety to do everything they can to give employment to returned men, but I know how inexorable the laws of supply and demand are, how inexorably the law of costs bears down on industry, and if a manufacturer finds that by reason of keen competition he is making a loss, as sure as the sun rises in the morning, he is going to cut down his costs, and the only way he can do so is by increasing his efficiency, by stripping his factory of every overhead charge that can be eliminated, and I am afraid that in the years to come one of the first to suffer will be the disabled man.
You may say that much of what I have advanced has nothing to do with the Civil Service Commission. I think it has a great deal to do with the Civil Service Commission. because I appreciate the problems with which they have to deal. I appreciate that there is much discontent among our returned men at the present time, and I agree with what the hon. member for Calgary said, that there is one thing that the returned man resents, and that is a young man getting recognition, and I know as I
63*
speak on the floor of this House that, unless a change has taken place in the last few weeks, there is one young man in Kingston holding a Government position that should be given to a returned man, and he is holding that position because somebody more powerful than the member wants to keep him there. It is now only a temporary position, but it is a temporary position that has been held for a period of from eighteen months to two years, and just as sure as I stand on this floor to-night 1 am confident that the reason that young man is being kept in that temporary position is that it is desired that some day his appointment be made permanent. I ask the minister and this House: Is there any reason why an able bodied young man who has not been at the front should not give way, even although he is a temporary employee of this Government, to the returned man who has lost an eye or an arm or a leg in the service of his country, but has all the other qualifications essential to fill that position? I do not think that this country wants the retention of these positions by men who are physically fit, and I want to urge that on the Civil Service Commission. As I said before, I am in favour of the Civil Service Commission, I do not want the worry and anxiety of political patronage, but if the Civil Service Commission is going to continue, both the commission and this Government have got to be alive to the fact that public sentiment from one end of this country to the other demands that full and generous recognition be given to the returned men; and the people of this country are determined that the returned men shall not be deprived of the recognition they are entitled to merely for technical and trivial reasons.


Mr. VEEN:: Will the hon. gentleman
inform the House whether he drew the attention of the Government to the fact that that young man could be replaced with advantage by a returned soldier?
Mr. N'JCKLE: I think I drew the attention of the Civil Service Commission to the fact. If I may enlarge on the hon. member's question, what I think should he done is to appoint a returned man as one member on the Civil Service Commission. He might make it hfs especial duty to watch over the interests of returned men and give careful consideration to all the facts underlying their cases.


Mr. DONALD SUTHERLAND (Oxford South'):: Mr. Speaker, the resolution before the House touches a real live question, a


Hugh Boulton Morphy: Mr. Speaker, The subject under discussion I conceive to be one of the most important that will be touched upon this session, and the member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) is entitled to credit for bringing the resolution before the House.
While I agree with the resolution and the spirit of it, I cannot believe that it is broad enough to suit the exigencies of the situation in Canada to-day. The resolution reads :
That, in the opinion of this House, the Civil Service Act should be amended so that, while having full regard, to efficiency, a preference in appointments to the public service shall be afforded to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who have become casualties in a theatre of war.
What I object to is that the resolution is narrowed down and restricted in its phraseology to apply only to casualties. The word 'casualty' is a very broad term, and as the resolution is now worded a man whose only injury was a sprained ankle or some minor flesh wound, who was in the trenches perhaps only one day before the fighting stopped, might get a preference over the man who had fought for his country for three or four years. I do not believe the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) intended so to restrict the meaning of his resolution. In fact, I have spoken to him about it, and he said he had no such intention; that his purpose was to get the matter before the House so that the House could settle on some one resolution.
I was rather surprised to learn to-day from the hon. member for Kingston (Mr. Nickle) that the Civil Service Commission are not now giving a preference to returned soldiers. In correspondence which I have not here I have had word from the Civil

Service Commission directly to the contrary effect; they say that soldiers who have qualified at the examinations are being put at the top of the list. Now the Civil Service Commission is a creature of the Government, and I think it is about time that this Parliament should put forth an opinion that would have some effect upon the commission. Taking as true what the hon. member for Kingston has told the House to-day, I do not think there is a member of this House who would not condemn such a procedure being followed by the Civil Service Commission. According to the correspondence read, the commission are filling all the positions they can by examination, and now the hopper of applicants is absolutely congested, and the soldier who writes hereafter on an examination may not get a position for many years to come. Mr. Speaker, I do not think that is the spirit that actuates the Canadian people to-day; I do not think it is a practice that they will stand for. It is no use our crying out that we are going to do something for the soldier, and then by some pretence or specious practice have a Civil Service Commission doing everything to prevent the country doing something for the returned soldier. That is the only meaning I can see in the letters written to the hon. member for Kingston. I do not like the word "big stick;" I do not like using a club on anybody, hut I think a resolution that would influence the Civil Service Commission and would show the temper of the people of this country as reflected by the Canadian Parliament would be quite in order. And then, if the Government have any influence upon the Civil Service Commission-and T direct the attention of the Acting Prime Minister particularly to this -I would whisper into the ear of the chairman that he had better look alive to the welfare of the returned soldier and not play favourites in any other direction. To put the matter in what I conceive to be its proper position, and in order to make the resolution a little broader, while still preserving the spirit of the resolution of my hon. friend from Colchester, with his approval I am going to move in amendment:
That all the words after the word "that" in the original resolution be struck out and the . following substituted therefor:
In the opinion of this House the Civil Service Act should be amended so that priority in appointments to the public service shall after this date for one year be given to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, Canadians in the Royal Air Force, and Canadians in the Imperial and allied armies who have served at the |front; disability, length of service and efficiency to be considered.


Mr. R. W. WIGMORE (St, John City):: In seconding this amendment I must say that I consider the resolution deals with one of the most important matters that have been discussed in this House since the opening of the session. I realize, as does every hon. member of this House and every citizen of Canada, that the returned soldiers feel that the Government is not keeping its pledges to the boys, that the promises which they made to the boys when they left for overseas were not sincere. I should just like to give a few concrete cases that have come under my observation in the constituency I represent, and I want first of all to say that the Great War Veterans' Association of the city of St. John are very much displeased indeed with the attitude of the Government. There have been a number of appointments made to positions in the city of St. John which returned soldiers could have filled just as efficiently as those who have been appointed. Not very long ago a letter-carrier was required in the post office department. Several returned soldiers applied, but unfortunately not one of them passed the necessary examination. That was how the Civil Service Commission got around it in that case. The result was that a boy of sixteen who, of course, had never served at the front was appointed to the position, and several returned soldiers were turned down. In another case a vacancy occurred in the Customs House. Several returned soldiers applied for the position, one of whom at least had passed the necessary preliminary examination. Another soldier, who had never been overseas but had been taken ill and placed in hospital at Ste. Agathe, was appointed because he had passed the qualifying examination whereas the other soldier had only passed the preliminary; and this appointment was made in the face of the recommendation of the Great War Veterans' Association and a number of prominent citizens of St. John. Similar cases are occurring every day, and the returned soldier is not at all satisfied with the treatment he is receiving.
In the Marine and Fisheries Department in the city of St. John a number of temporary vacancies occur that do not require examination. A very singular thing happened there not long ago. Dependents of soldiers overseas were dismissed while in some cases at least, men of military age and physically fit were retained.
One man had two sons overseas and another three, one of whom had been killed, and I think that in such cases preference should be given to the dependents of sol-

diers who have been overseas. Construction work is now in progress at Courtney Bay by the St. John Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Construction Company under sub-contract by the Bedford Construction Company. Scores of returned soldiers have applied for positions in connection with this work, but the preference has been nearly always given to civilians. This is a matter that the Government should endeavour to remedy.
I am entirely in favour of the amendment because I think the resolution does not go far enough. Preference should be given to the returned soldier in every case, and it should not be necessary in connection with appointments to positions such as that of watchman on a dock or of letter carrier to pass the rigid examinations which are required. I will support the amendment.


Hugh Boulton Morphy: As a matter of privilege I would ask that the words "and allied armies" be added after the words "Imperial army."


Mr. O. TUIRGEON (Gloucester):: I shall be brief in the expression of my opinion on this matter. In my judgment the resolution does not go far enough, and I shall support the amendment because it recognizes the military record and time service of our returned soldiers. Many applications have been made by returned soldiers for positions which I think they were qualified to fill, but their applications, for some reason or another, the Commission did not favourabley consider. Young men who were among the first to respond to the call, enlisting in the first week of the war, and who spent some winters in the trenches very much to the detriment of their health, have come back physically unfit, and when they apply for positions the Civil Service Commission inform them that they must have their discharge before their applications can be considered. Among the returned soldiers, many who have not lost limbs are suffering other disabilities which render them incapable of strenuous work, and it has often happened that men who were longest on active service and were discharged long ago have been put off, some who have not yet been discharged are urged to hurry up and get their discharge papers so that they may be appointed. Many a returned man who has won distinction on the field of battle is overlooked, and as I think that something should be done to remedy this condition of things, I shall support the amendment. I concur in the opinion that all appointments to the outside service for a year at least should
be reserved for discharged soldiers, and if in any county or parish there may not happen to be a soldier available to fill any vacant position, one from the adjoining county or parish might be selected..


William Foster Cockshutt: Mr. Speaker, I do not desire to delay the House for any length of time, but coming from a constituency that sent a large number of its sons overseas, I feel it incumbent on me to say a few words on this question. We are indebted to the member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) for bringing so important a matter as this before us, and I wish to say, with all the emphasis I can, that the Goverement for some reason or other, are not doing what we expected they would do when the Civil Service Act was passed last year. I think I voice the opinion of members of the House as well as of returned soldiers and citizens generally when I say that too many of the returned men are being turned down in connection with appointments to the public service. This is a very serious matter and one that should be looked into by the proper authorities. There is a very deep-seated opinion current that things are not right and that the returned soldier is not being treated as he ought to be. He needs employment as soon as he is fit after his return, and if the policy that is outlined in the letter which was read this afternoon is one. that is being pursued by the Civil Service Commission, I can easily understand why dissatisfaction exists. The policy as iaid down in the letter read by the hon. member for Kingston (Mr. Nickle) is exactly contrary to what it should be. It is evidently the intention to exhaust the list of those civilians who have passed examinations before attention is given to the soldier. I would suggest that the proper course would be to consider the case of the returned soldier first, and let the civilians, no matter how high their marks may be, stand until the returned men have received their due.


William Folger Nickle: I have not the letter before me, but the practice is this: When an examination takes place those who are successful obtain recognition before the returned man who has not had an opportunity of passing the examination.


William Foster Cockshutt: That is quite as 1 understand it, and, as I say, is exactly contrary to what it should be. I think that these technical and academic examinations are entirely unnecessary -in the case of soldiers. If a soldier has sound common sense

and can fulfil the duties of the office to which he seeks appointment-and I would always qualify it in that way-he ought to have the first claim regardless of whether he can pass at the top of the list or not. He should be the first man to be considered, because the country owes him a duty which it can ill repay even if it gave him a very good position. In my opinion, therefore, the Civil Service Commission should seriously interest themselves in behalf of the returned soldiers and endeavour to place them in good positions as speedily as possible. It is quite true that members endeavoured to do that when they were dispensing the patronage. I received many circulars on that head and I always endeavoured to see that the returned soldier was the first man considered. In many cases no one else was considered. That is the way it should be before the Civil Service Commission.
I think the amendment of the hon. member for Perth (Mr. Morphy) is a very excellent one. I do not know how the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) may feel towards it. I think that Canadians who have enlisted in the air force, or in the marine, or in any of the Allied armies for that matter and have been wounded in battle or in the service of the country, are entitled to consideration. But whether it is the amendment that is put or whether it is the resolution, I want to go on record as being entirely in accord with the principle that is enunciated in both of them. I want to let it be distinctly understood that from now on the returned soldier gets the best of the deal all along the line and you cannot put that too strongly. He has not had it up to date to the extent that he should have had it. I would hold up both hands for giving all the positions to returned soldiers that they can fill. I would consider them first. Our duty is first to the soldier and after that the civilian list, which is a matter of very small importance, comparatively, may be considered. Before the soldiers are provided for, do not let any of these civilians in at all.


Mr. PIUS MICHAUD:: Mr. Speaker, 1
have listened with great attention to the remarks which have been made in reference to this question. I wish to place before the House the facts of a case that occurred in my own town. A young man came back home in March, 1918, having lost a leg in the war. He made application for a position that became vacant, but to our great sorrow that position was merged in another. The Collector of Customs took the
[iMr. Cockshutt.]
position at a lower salary than that which had been previously paid and prevented the young man from getting it. Now the Collector of Customs at that port occupies the dual position of Collector of Customs and Immigration Agent. This young man made application for the position of Immigration Agent which had become vacant.


Mr. MACLEAN:: How much was paid for the office of Immigration Agent?


Pius Michaud: The salary was $800 or $900. The position was given to the collector at a lower rate in order to prevent this young man from getting it.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: In what
county is that?


Pius Michaud: In Restigouche and
Madawaska. The application was made to the Civil Service Commission. We also made application to the chief commissioner of immigration when we were here but we did not succeed in our enterprise. This case illustrates the fact that a great injustice is being done our young soldiers who return maimed and unable to earn their living. This young man speaks and writes both languages, is well educated and is fully competent to discharge the duties of the position. His name is Dugal and he is a son of the Honourable L. A. Dugal of Ed-munston.


Mr. DOUGLAS (Strathcona):: There is
one phase of this question that I would like to say a few words about and that has reference to the sending out of the advertisements to applicants seeking positions in the public service. In my own experience this advertisement comes along in western Canada too late for the applicant to get his application back to Ottawa in time to receive consideration at the hands of the Civil Service Commission. I do not know whether this is done intentionally or whether it is just carelessness on the part of the Commission. Through that practice alone there has been a tremendous injustice inflicted on all returned soldiers as well as on civilians who are looking for positions in the Civil Service. I am quite in accord with the sentiments expressed both by the mover of the resolution and the amendment.
I think the amendment moved by the honourable member for Perth (Mr. Morphy) is preferable to the resolution because it goes farther and I would therefore support it. Too little regard has been paid to the promises which have been made by the Government in regard to what shall be done for the returned soldiers and I hope that in the

future more consideration will be given to the promises and the pledges which were made to the men before they went overseas.


William Duff: I
am in entire sympathy with the resolution and also with the amendment except that neither goes far enough. In neither is mention made of the Canadian navy or seamen of the mercantile marine. I would like to suggest to the honourable the mover of the amendment (Mr. Morphy) that the members of the Canadian navy and the seamen of the mercantile marine be also included. Whilst perhaps the Canadian navy did not get a chance to do very much during the war, the seamen of the merchant marine, during four years, were in every sea and faced the submarine danger. They are entitled to the sympathy of the Government just as much as the members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the members of the Air Force of the Canadians who enlisted in the Imperial army.


Mr. T. M. M. TWEEDIE (Calgary):: I would like to ask my hon. friend the mover of the amendment (Mr. Morphy) a question. The amendment says that disability, length of service and efficiency are to be considered. Is the proposal to make the Civil Service of Canada exclusive to returned men for one year, and is this consideration as to length of service, disability and efficiency to apply only among the returned men themselves and without regard to the efficiency of the Civil Service?


Hugh Boulton Morphy: I should say that they should be efficient to perform the duties.


Thomas Mitchell March Tweedie: The resolution would not go to the extent of making the service exclusive for returned men without regard to the efficiency of the Civil Service of Canada?


Hugh Boulton Morphy: No, my intention is to put the returned soldier, if he is efficient, ahead of everybody else.


Thomas Mitchell March Tweedie: I have no hesitation whatever in supporting the resolution and the amendment as suggested. Campaigns have been carried on throughout the length and breadth of Canada asking employers to reinstate those men who left them when they enlisted for overseas service. Many men have been reinstated, but it has been found that they are unable to perform their duties to the same extent that they did when they went overseas, perhaps by reason of some nervous disability. The result has been that employers have discharged these men. But I think that the Dominion of Canada can take these men
into the Civil Service, and that even if they have not one hundred per cent efficiency in the performance of their duty there is no justification for their being discharged from the	Civil	Service on
the same ground that they would be discharged from private employment.
When we take a large manufacturing industry, or some mercantile business, we know that throughout the length and breadth of the country the competition is. very keen. An employer may be very good hearted and may desire to retain all these men, but he finds that he is up against the competition of those engaged in the same business, and that he cannot successfully carry on his activities, or successfully compete with his rivals if he yields to good nature.
I think the resolution which has been brought in by the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. McCurdy) covers that class of cases. I also think that provision should be made in the Civil Service of the country for those men who are casualties, or who are suffering from physical or nervous defects which prevent them from carrying on their duties as they did before they went to the front. We owe a duty to these men to see that they are provided for, and that they have the same source of income and maintenance as they did when they were engaged in industrial pursuits. I have very much pleasure in supporting the resolution as introduced by the hon. member for Colchester, and also the amendment, due regard being paid to the necessity of the maintenance of efficiency in the Civil Service. I also wish to support the stand taken by some hon. gentlemen with regard to that service. I think it would be very unfortunate for Canada if, for any reason, we should abandon the reform which we adopted last year and returned to the old system of party patronage which previously prevailed in this country.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Both the resolution and the amendment have evidently met with a very substantial and favourable response in the House. I would like, however, to suggest that when it is proposed to make amendments to the Civil Service Act of the nature proposed it would be well if the opportunity were afforded of giving very careful consideration to the details of such amendments. In the course of two or three weeks very important and substantial amendments to the Civil Service Act will be submitted to Parliament, and I would suggest for the consideration of the mover of the resolution, and of

the mover of the amendment as well, the desirability of postponing until then consideration of the proposals set forth today. Every opportunity will he afforded the members of the House to submit amendments of this character when the Bill is introduced, and in the meantime I can assure both hon. gentleman that the Government will give every consideration to the proposals which have been presented to-day. I trust that both hon. gentlemen will refrain from asking for a formal adoption of their proposals upon my assuring them that the Government will take careful cognizance of the matters which have been referred to, and that in the course of two or three weeks, or a month at the least, there will be ample opportunity of considering amendments of this nature to the Civil Service Act.


Hugh Boulton Morphy: As mover of the amendment, with the consent of the seconder, I have no objection to the course outlined by the minister. I might request the privilege of adding that he will hasten down to the Civil Service Commission in the morning and put a flea in the ear of the authorities there so that they may keep moving in accordance with the spirit of the House as evidenced by what has taken place here to-day.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The expressions of
opinion by members of the House show unanimity in support of the principle of my motion, not a single voice having been raised in dissent. The whole difficulty in the premises has arisen because the original policy of the Government, with regard to this important matter was not adhered to, or implemented in the Civil Service Act, adopted last year. The language of the first Order in Council, which, by the way, was adopted on the recommendation of the IPrime Minister quite soon after casualties began to return to Canada, or, to be exact, on November 26, 1915-


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: The hon. gentleman is proceeding to reply. I understood he rose for the purpose of stating whether he would, or would not, withdraw his resolution.


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: I am going to state my reasons for withdrawing the resolution.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: In that case will the hon. gentleman make them as concise as possible?


Fleming Blanchard McCurdy: The Order in Council of 1915 to which I have referred, Mr. Speaker, distinctly states that:
fMr. A. K. Maclean.]
In making- -appointments to the Civil Service preference shall be given to the returned members of the C.E.F., especially those who through disability, occasioned by active military service, are unable to fill their previous occupations.
That language is followed in successive Orders in Council, but unfortunately reference to those who had suffered disabilities while on active service was omitted from the Civil Service Act of last year.
Mr. Speaker, in view of the statements made by the Secretary of State and the Acting Minister of Marine and Fisheries, that very extensive amendments to the Civil Service Act will be presented to the House before the end of April, and the hope they hold out that- these amendments will include the sense of the resolution of this afternoon, I have much pleasure in acceding to their request to withdraw the motion.
Motion of Mr. McCurdy and amendment of Mr. Morphy withdrawn.

MINISTERS OF THE CROWN.
[Stage Direction]
PROPOSAL, THAT ALL SHALL	BE

[Stage Direction]
Mr. WILLIAM D. EULER (Waterloo North) moved:
That, in the opinion of this House, all Ministers of the Crown should be members of the House of Commons, or become such within a period of three months after their appointment to the Cabinet.
He said: Mr. Speaker, after the strenuous debates of last week, and which developed acute differences of opinion among honourable members, I propose a resolution this evening that I believe should be, in principle, acceptable to a very large majojity of the members of the House-that is, providing that the Government do not make it a party question. And I think, Sir, that it is not a party question because the practice of appointing senators to the Cabinet of Canada, as is well known, is one which has been followed by both Liberal and Conservative Governments in the past.
Last week in connection with the debate on daylight saving, I was pleased to note the action of the Government, in that they appeared to give a certain freedom of speech and of action to hon. members on their side of the House. I rather suspect that the reason for that action was because the Government did not care to assume the responsibility of re-enacting that measure;

but be that as it may, I am willing to give the Government the benefit of the doubt, because I believe that it is in the interest of Parliament that there should be permitted to the hon. members on the opposite side of the House a reasonable independence of action, rather than that the majority in this House should resolve itself merely into a rubber stamp to record the wishes of the Cabinet.
I am certain, Mr. Speaker, that the significance of the resolution which I propose is quite evident to every hon. member.
If I were speaking in a general way, I should say that it is intended as a step towards a more advanced and complete democracy. And when I use the word " democracy," Mr. Speaker, I realize that in the last few years it has become somewhat hackneyed and that perhaps to most of us it is more a matter of sound than of meaning. The hon. member for South York (Mr. W. P. Maclean), in the debate on daylight saving last week, made a statement that during the course of the war, and especially in the last year or so, the Government had found it necessary to suspend in some degree the principle of responsible government. I do not agree with him when he says that it was necessary even then; but I do agree with him that the time has arrived when responsible government in full measure ought to be restored. If it is indeed true that the war which has just ended was a war " to make the world safe for democracy," then, Sir, I contend we ought to use every opportunity to carry into effect in a concrete way the principles that we were fighting for. We should not be afraid to take our own medicine, but should let democracy, like charity, begin at home.
Frankly, Mr. Speaker, the resolution which I have offered has for its object the debarring from the Cabinet of members of the Senate, for what I consider to be the sufficient reason, that members of the Senate, not being elected, are not representative of, and not responsible to, the people. I am quite prepared to have some hon. gentlemen say that the easiest way to accomplish that which is desired in the resolution would be to abolish the Senate entirely, and if any hon. members choose to offer a Bill in that regard, I for one would support it. I have not risen this evening with any intention of dealing with the Senate as a body, but it does appear to me that in these so-called democratic times a non-elective Senate is something of an anomaly in this country.
We have been told, Sir, that the Senate is established more to protect minorities than perhaps anything else. I do not think that the history of Canada shows that they have had any very great success in that direction. In fact, it seems to me that at the present day the Senate is more in the public eye, because by force of circumstances it has become established as something of a clearing house for the obligations of those who desire to free themselves from the bonds of matrimony -it has become something of a divorce court. But in order to abolish the Senate constitutional action would be necessary; to follow out that which I propose would require no change whatever in the Constitution, the British North America Act, and if this House saw fit to pass this resolution, it could easily be carried into concrete effect simply by the Government adopting the principle upon which the House placed itself on record.
Now, Mr. Speaker, as is well known, senators are not elected. They are merely the partisan appointees of the Prime Minister or of the political party which happens to be in power. That, I submit. Sir, is not by any means an indication that the men so appointed possess the confidence of the country. Indeed it is only too true that exactly the reverse is the case in very many instances, and that men who have been rejected when they have offered themselves for election to the House of Commons are frequently appointed to the Senate merely as a reward for party service.
The responsibility and power of the ministry are very great. During the past two years the power of the Cabinet has been greater even than the power of Parliament itself. That was during the war. As a matter of fact, the War Measures Act is still in force and the Government still retains that power. But even after the War Measures Act becomes null and void the power and influence of the Cabinet will still remain very great. Members of the Cabinet who are of sufficient calibre to deserve a position as responsible as that, wield a tremendous power not only in the formulating of policies, but also in the administration of the departments over which they have control.
The appointment of senators to the Dominion Cabinet is entirely subversive of the principle of responsible government.
I bring this matter before the House at this time because I feel that the abuse I think it is an abuse-to which I refer appears to be growing. We have in the Cabinet at the present time no fewer than three
[Stage Direction]
members of the Senate; more, I think, than we have ever had since we first enjoyed responsible government. First of all, we have the leader of the Senate (Sir James Loug-heed), who is Minister of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment. This afternoon we had a very interesting and lengthy debate on the matter of the appointment of soldiers to positions in the Civil Service, and we shall have a great deal of that this year and in the years to come. It seems to me that a minister holding the important portfolio of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment should be present on the floor of this House to give his advice to members and to answer questions that may be put from time to time.
The same is true of the Minister of Labour, Hon. G. D. Robertson, who also is a member of the Senate and has not a seat in this House. One of the most difficult and important questions with which this country will have to deal in the future is the question of labour, therefore this Parliament will necessarily have to concern itself with legislation affecting labour. Old age pensions, pensions to widows, and legislation on matters of labour will have to be considered by this House in the very near future. I do not think that the Government is doing its duty to the people, particularly to the working men, in not having in this House, as head of the Department of Labour, a man who manifestly, by election, enjoys the confidence of the people whom he is supposed to represent.
Then I come to what everybody must consider the most glaring instance of the violation of the principles of responsible government that one could possibly conceive. And, by the way, I make these criticisms not at all in a personal sense, but only in so far as they affect the public service and the public good. We have as Postmaster General Hon. P. E. Blondin, a member of the Senate, a gentleman who in the elections of 1917 offered himself for election in two constituencies and was overwhelmingly defeated in both; in one by a majority of about 1,200 votes and in the other by a majority of no less than 6,500 votes, receiving himself only 500 votes in the constituency of 'Champlain. This gentleman is in charge of a department which employs about 10,000 persons, which has in its control the expenditure of something like $18,000,000 a year. Yet, in the face of the fact that this gentleman was rejected by his constituents; in face of the very evident fact that he does not possess the confidence of the electors of Canada, the Prime Minister has retained him in an office which, it will not 
be denied, should not be occupied by any one who is not responsible to the people and who does not occupy a seat in the House of Commons. The 'Postmaster General is not answerable to Parliament; the same may be said of all members of the Senate who hold portfolios in the Cabinet. They are not on the floor of the House to answer questions or to pass their own estimates through Parliament.
We were told this afternoon in a return that the Postmaster General is represented in this House by the President of the Privy Council (Mr. Rowell). I do not know whether that gentleman has informed himself very particularly as to the details of the Post Office Department; I doubt it very much. At the same time, most of us are willing to admit that the duties of the President of the Privy Council are so light that possibly he feels that the large honorarium that he receives may very well justify his giving some attention to the work of the Postmaster General. But I do contend that the appointment of three members of the Senate to positions in the ministry is the very negation of responsible government. In the case of the office of the Postmaster General it is nothing less than an arrogant defiance of the will of the people which this Parliament, if it dares to call its soul its own, should not tolerate any longer.
If any reply is made to the arguments that I offer, the first may be that Liberal Governments in the past have appointed Senators to the Cabinet. That is true, although I do not think that it is true in such a glaring degree as it is in the case of the office of Postmaster General. But even if it be true, I do not for one moment admit that that affects the argument in the slightest degree. That a Liberal Government did what has been done by a Unionist or Conservative Government makes it neither right nor wrong; the question should be decided entirely upon its merits.
It may also be stated that a similar practice is followed in the British Government; that members of the House of Lords occupy portfolios in tire British Cabinet. That also is true, and while I admit that we have taken from the British practice and the British. Constitution many desirable things and incorporated them into our own system of government, it does not follow that we must in every respect follow the example of England. Our conditions and political development have been in many respects entirely different from those of Great Britain. The British have travelled a very

long way through all the stages of feudalism, autocracy and rule by the aristocracy, and while they have made great progress on the way to democracy I.do not think that the most ardent Britisher would claim that they have yet attained to the very highest ideals of democracy and that no further progress is possible for them. But even if that were contended, again I would ' say that the mere fact that a thing is good in England does not necessarily make it good in Canada. Moreover, in England when a member of the House of Lords "holds a portfolio in the Cabinet, in almost all cases the department over which he presides is represented in the House of Commons by an under-secretary.
The constitution of Canada never contemplated that a member of the Senate should be appointed to the responsible position of Minister of the Crown. That is quite apparent when we consider that when a member of the House of Commons is elevated to the position of Minister of the Crown, notwithstanding the fact that he already possesses the confidence of the people, as shown by his election to the Commons, he is obliged to go back to his constituents for re-election.
That, to me, proves that it was the intention to provide an absolute safeguard; it was intended to ensure that when a man was promoted to the responsible position of Minister of the Crown he should possess the confidence of the electors.
It is no compliment to the hon. members on the other side of the House that three members of the present Cabinet are drawn from the Senate and that the Prime Minister of Canada should, in effect, say to hon. gen- ' tlemen opposite that he does not find any of them worthy of occupying the position of Postmaster General, for instance, or that of Minister of Labour, or whatever it may be. For my part, I believe there are a great many members on the other side of the House who could discharge the duties pertaining to those portfolios fully as well as those duties are now discharged, and it would be more in keeping with the principle of responsible government, because the fact that they occupied seats in this House would be an assurance tnat they possessed the confidence of the people.
In the resolution which I have submitted I provide for a slight qualification, and it is this: that members of the Cabinet shall become members of the House of Commons within a period of three months after their appointment to the Cabinet. I am willing to admit that occasions might arise when
it would be desirable, possibly in an emergency or because of some man's special fitness, to appoint to a Cabinet position a man who was not a member of the House of Commons. In such a case the new minister should submit himself, in accordance with the principle of responsible government, to the electors and be returned to the House of Commons within a period of not longer than three months. Failing to be returned, he should make way for some one else who would fill the requirements in that regard.
I shall not elaborate the matter further. It seems to me the argument requires no proof, that the principles are so sound as to be apparent to all; the truth of what I have said, while it has been poorly expressed, must be evident to almost any member of this House. I base my argument on the simple principle that membership in the Cabinet of Canada should be held only by those who are members of the House of Commons and thus responsible to the people. In these supposedly advanced days of the sovereignty of the people let us show our sincerity by putting our own house in order. Let the Government of Canada conform in every respect with the principle of responsible institutions, for which such heavy sacrifices have been made.
William Thomas White: I have listened with close attention to the observations of my hon. friend (Mr. Euler) with respect to the motion now before the House, and if II have any general criticism to make of his remarks, as I understood them, it is his failure to appreciate the constitution as it is to-day, and the status of the Senate as a body of co-ordinate jurisdiction with this House. My hon. friend's argument proceeded along this line: The Senate is not an elective body, but an appointive body. Therefore, no member of the Government should be a member of the Senate. Now it is debatable-'the hon. member and other hon. gentlemen have their views-whether the Senate of this Parliament should be an elective or an appointive body; but that is not the question before the House. The question before the House is the motion of the hon. member, and that motion must, I submit, be debated having regard to the constitutional position as it exists to-day. It appears to me that to give effect to the resolution of the hon. member would be to derogate from the status of the Senate as established under the British North America Act. I think it might properly be pointed out that the British North America Aot is an act of Union; it is a compact; it represents the agreement which

was made by the different sections^ of this country at the time of Confederation. It is perfectly clear from the debates which preceded Confederation, and from the Act of Union itself, that great importance was attached to the creation of the Senate as a part of Parliament. My hon. friend has put his resolution in this form:
That in the opinion of this House all Ministers of the Crown should be members of the House of 'Commons or become such within a period of three months after their appointment to the Cabinet.
He puts his resolution affirmatively; but, negatively, it might be put in this way- and my hon. friend did put it this way in his remarks:-No member of the Government of Canada shall be a member of the Senate for a longer period than three months. Now in view of the constitutional situation as it exists to-day, namely, that the Senate has under the British North America Act co-ordinate legislative authority with this House, save as to money votes and bills levying taxation upon the people, which must originate with the Commons, it would appear to me that the resolution goes much further than this House or the country would be prepared to go; because it involves a vital change in our constitutional practice of administration and of legislation, and, as I have said, derogates from the status conferred upon the Senate by the British North America Act.
I think I would agree with my hon. friend that the representation of the Government in the Senate should always be limited as compared with that which it should and, I submit, must have in the House of Commons. Ever since Confederation however it has been recognized by all administrations that the Government must be represented in the Senate for the reason that the Senate is a legislative body, that Bills originate with the Senate as well as with the .Commons and that the Senate must be a party to all legislation before it can become law. I do not know that any hard-and-fast principle has been adopted, but it has been generally recognized that there are certain portfolios which must belong to the Commons. For example, I cannot conceive of the Minister of Finance being a member of the Senate and not of the House of Commons, because of course, he is dealing almost wholly with financial and fiscal measures which must originate in the House of Commons. With regard to the British Constitutional system, it is to be observed that a member of government need not necessarily, according to the strict law of the constitution, have 
a seat in the House of Commons or in the Senate. Frequently, and especially upon the formation of new governments, a minister is called into the counsels of the Government by the Prime Minister although he has not a seat in either House. In practice, of course, that situation could not be long maintained, and therefore I may dismiss that feature because, generally speaking, it is necessary that Ministers of the Government should have seats either in the House of Commons or in the Senate for the purpose of dealing with the legislation which is there being discussed, of expounding 'Government measures, and of informing the two Chambers as to government policy. There are certain departments which I think should be represented in the Commons, although I should not like to lay down a hard-and-fast rule. The Department of Finance is clearly one pf them. It has been the practice ever since Confederation, as I have stated, for governments to have representatives in the Senate, and so far as I am aware the leader of the Senate has always been a member of the Government, in order, as is obvious, that he may inform the Senate as to Government policy is regard to legislation before it.
I took the trouble, in connection with this resolution, to look up the practice of the various ministries with regard to Senate representation, and my hon. friend is entirely in error in supposing that this Government is in any singular or anomalous position, much less one open to criticism, by reason of having three members in the Senate. In the Administration of Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Alexander Campbell was Minister of Justice and leader of the Senate; and when Sir John A. Macdonald died, there were, I think, two members of his Administration without portfolio in the Senate. My hon. friend will find that under the succeeding Prime Ministers, Sir John Abbott, Sir John Thompson, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, and Sir Charles Tupper, there was in the case of each Administration a representation of two or three members of the Government in the Senate; and always, I believe, the leader of the Senate, under the Administrations of which I have spoken, was a member of the Government of the day. Further than that, Sir Mackenzie Bowell when Prime Minister was leader of the Senate. Coming down to the Liberal Administration of the late Bight Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier-of whom I have always understood my hon. friend was a devoted follower and admirer-we find that instead of the number of members of the

Government having been diminished in his regime it was if anything enlarged. My hon. friend declares that he is taking advanced Liberal ground. Well, he is criticising rather severely in his remarks some men whom the people thought were fairly advanced Liberals.


Mr. EULER:: I did not say Liberal; I said democratic.


William Thomas White: Well, if my hon. friend desires to dissociate Liberalism from democracy-


William Daum Euler: No, no.


William Thomas White: -I am quite prepared to allow him to do so; hut I do not know what the late Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier would have said to him if he had suggested that he, Sir Wilfrid, was not a democrat, and was not in favour of democratic government. I do not know what the late Hon. Sir Oliver Mowat would have said to my hon. friend if he had made the suggestion that he also, although a Liberal, was not in favour of democratic government. And I would point out, with reference to the last-named statesman, who so long carried the banner of Liberalism in the province of Ontario, and indeed in Dominion affairs as well, that when he joined the Liberal Administration in 1896 he became Minister of Justice and at the same time took a seat in the Senate and became its leader. Then there was another noted statesman of whom I used to hear in the old days, and who I thought was a fairly advanced Liberal. I think he would turn in his grave to-night if any hon. gentleman, especially on the other side, suggested that he was not a Liberal and a believer in democratic government. I refer to that old fighting Liberal, the late Sir Richard Cartwright, who became a member of the Senate and its leader, and who, while he occupied that position in the Senate, held one of the most important portfolios in the Government-the portfolio of Trade and Commerce. Would my hon. friend suggest for one moment that any of the departments mentioned here to-night is of more importance to the business and commercial life of the country than the Department of Trade and Commerce? I do not believe the hon. member would put forward that view for an instant. There was another man whose name was known in every Liberal household throughout Canada,-the Hon. Sir Richard Scott. He was a strong Liberal, and I believe that he would have said, and all of his associates would have said, that he was in
favour of democratic government and of the principles of democracy. He was Secretary of State in the Laurier administration and was also a member of the Senate. In addition to those I have mentioned,- Sir Oliver Mowat, Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Richard Scott-there were, I believe, two other members of the Laurier Administration who had seats in the Senate; one was Hon. Mr. Templeman and the other Mr. Hyman. So that we have an unbroken practice-


Mr. McKENZIE:: Who was the lastnamed gentleman?


William Thomas White: Hyman.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: He was not in the
Senate.


William Thomas White: Yes, I am mistaken in regard to him. However, since Confederation we have had an unbroken practice of all administrations, Conservative and Liberal, as well as the Unionist Government of to-day, having repiesenta-tives of the Government in the Senate.


Mr. ROBB:: Does my hon. friend say that Mr. Templeman was a member of the Senate?


William Thomas White: I have a note to that effect.


James Alexander Robb: Not when he was a minister.


William Thomas White: If my hon. friend would like to have the Hon. Mr. Hyman and the Hon. Mr. Templeman eliminated, I shall be content with Sir Oliver Mowat, Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Richard Scott. I was pointing out that all governments since Confederation have had representation in the Senate. So far from defending that system, I put forward the view that with the constitution as it is to-day no other course is practicable. I put that view forward for the reason that the Senate is a body of co-ordinate legislative jurisdiction with this House with the exception that money votes have to originate here as well as bills providing for taxation. Another name that I had overlooked has been called to my attention by an hon. member-that of the Hon. David Mills. No hon. gentleman on the other side of the House would challenge for one moment the Liberalism or fidelity to democratic principles of the Hon. David Mills. Why, he was one of the Apostles of Liberalism. When my hon. friend finds fault with the Union Government for having representation, as we have it to-day, in the Senate, he is by implication visiting very severe

censure upon the liberalism of those who were highest in the counsels of the Liberal party, its leaders and, as I have said, its apostles. I have no doubt that my hon. friend had his early teaching in Liberal principles from those whom he is impliedly censuring to-night by reason of the fact that they concurred in the principle of representation of the Government in the Senate.
I do not know what view my hon. friend the leader of the Opposition (Mr. McKenzie) will take in regard to this but we shall hear in due course. I am not censuring those leaders of Liberalism. I repeat that under our system as it exists to-day, no other course is open to a government but to have representation in the Senate. Bills originate in this House involving matters of Government policy. Bills also originate in the Senate involving matters of Government policy. For the despatch of business it is very desirable that the Government should be able to initiate Bills in the Senate as well as in the House of Commons if for no other reason than to save time. But even as to Bills originating in the House of Commons and which go to the Senate, they must be adopted there. The policy of the Government must be explained with respect to those Bills because the Senate must concur in them before they can finally receive the assent of the Governor General and become law.
Fancy the situation that would exist with no member of the Government in the Senate to indicate the policy of the Government in regard to particular measures and to guide its deliberations in respect to Bills of any character, financial, fiscal or otherwise, which had been introduced by the Government and carried through this House. It seems perfectly clear to me that there must be representation of the Government in the Senate. I think the leader of the Senate should be a member of the Government. Although I am rather in favour of limiting the number of members of the Government in the Senate, because this is the popular chamber, I see no objection, as the governments of which I have spoken saw no objection, but on the other hand I see an advantage in having representation of the Government of the day in the Senate. Otherwise, I am satisfied that the business of legislation would not proceed with the despatch that is desirable; nor with the co-ordination of work that should exist as between the two Houses.
My hon. friend has spoken about the fact that the Postmaster General and the Minis-

ter of Labour occupy seats in the Senate. In past Administrations the Minister of Justice frequently occupied a seat in the Senate. The Secretary of State in some Administrations occupied a seat in the Senate. The important Department of Trade and Commerce was represented by Sir Richard Cartwright under the Laurier Administration and the important Department of Agriculture has been on more than one occasion represented in the Senate. Where is the difficulty from the standpoint of conveying information to this House as to Estimates or as to the administration of some department which happens to be represented in the Senate. Take the Postmaster General's department, one of his colleagues is here to answer questions which may be asked of the Prime Minister and to deal with his Estimates when they are before the House. Another colleague, the acting Minister of Trade and Commerce, is here to represent the Minister of Labour in this Chamber, to answer questions and to declare the position of the Government in regard to any matter which may come within the jurisdiction of that important department. My hon. friend used a very strong term in regard to the Union Government. He does not seem to like the Union Government-it is hard for me to understand that.


Charles Arthur Gauvreau: There are lots of reasons.


William Thomas White: I know that my hon. friend (Mr. Gauvreau) has a very much more kindly feeling towards the Government and he would not express himself in such strong terms. My hon. friend's resolution has stated that the policy of this Government in having the Postmaster General a member of the Senate and the Minister of Labour a member of the Senate is an arrogant defiance of the will of the people. If that is so, it seems to me that he must apply it to the preceding Administration.


William Daum Euler: That statement was made
entirely with regard to the retaining of the Postmaster General after the people had expressly declared that he had not their confidence.


William Thomas White: Was it in arrogant defiance of the will of the people for Sir Richard .Cartwright to represent the Liberal government in the Senate? Should he have gone to the country to be elected after having been appointed to the Senate?


William Daum Euler: He was not defeated.


William Thomas White: My hon. friend
confines it to one case, but it seems to me that, if it was arrogant defiance of the will of the people to appoint, under the constitution, a citizen to the Senate, and afterwards appoint him to a membership in the Government, or if he chanced to be a member of the Government to retain him, then I say precisely the same remark must apply in the case of any other citizen, or former minister, who was appointed to the Senate and retained a seat in the Senate and his position in the Government without having been endorsed by the people.
I pointed out that we must take the constitution as it is, and as it is the Senate is an appointed body. This Government is only following the practice of all governments since Confederation in having a portion of its membership represented in the Senate of Canada. I have shown, I think, that for convenience of legislation in the two Houses it is absolutely necessary that the Government should be represented there, and in view of all the considerations put forward, it would appear to me that this House would be very slow indeed to adopt a resolution of such far-reaching effect, so far-reaching as to seriously affect the legislative machinery of this country, set up at the time of Confederation, and consisting as it does, not only of the House of Commons, but of the Senate. So long as the Senate is a part of our constitution, until the constitution is changed it appears to me that this Government, or succeeding Governments, will be found to have a representation in the Senate if they are to have proper regard to the efficient despatch of the legislation which comes before Parliament.
It is not necessary that I should refer to the situation which exists in Great Britain. My honourable friend would hardly contend that Great Britain is not a democracy. Great Britain has been fighting the battle of democracy in this war, and has been pretty successful in fighting it. It has been the democratic spirit which has animated Britain which has enabled her to win the war, but what is the practice there? We find that in democratic Britain Lord Kitchener was Minister of War, and occupied a seat in the Lords. Will my honourable friend contend that Lord Kitchener was debarred from occupying the position of Minister of War at the outbreak of hostilities because he occupied a seat in the House of Lords? And what shall we say with regard to Lord Milner and Lord Curzon?


Mr. A. R. McMASTER (Brome):: Is the Acting Prime Minister giving those as examples of British democracy?


William Thomas White: I have no hesitation in giving the Right Honourable Lloyd George as a shining example of British democracy. My honourable friend would not dissent from that surely? And my honourable friend knows how the Right Honourable Lloyd George has constituted his government to-day. So that I think we can put on one side the talk about the violation of democratic principle in this Government having three representatives in the Senate.
Now my honourable friend has put forward his resolution and delivered a very interesting speech in support of it. I have given the reasons which, in my view, should influence the House in rejecting it. I think that while the constitution remains as it is we should not lay down the principle in this House that no Government should have one or more of its members in the Senate, which is a component part of Parliament, and, in my view therefore the resolution should be negatived.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Mr. Speaker, I do not find
it necessary in answering the argument of the honourable leader of the Government, to make any pronouncement as to any views that I may entertain myself in regard to whether or not members of the Senate should be members of this, or any Government. The honourable member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler) has put his case very clearly and very strongly, and I think that in a democratic country like Canada, and in a democratic House such as this, it is well that questions of this kind should be brought forward and discussed in the open so that people in the country may know what our views are. In my humble judgment, Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Government did not answer the argument of the mover of the resolution at all. The honourable member for North Waterloo admitted that it has been the practice since Confederation for members of the Senate to be members of the various governments. Notwithstanding this admission the leader of the Government, having no other course, built up this man of straw, and when he had that effigy well built and of very good proportions, started in to demolish it. He made a fairly good job of demolishing his straw man. because there was nobody to interfere-the effigy was unprotected from his very vigor-



ous attack. There is no question about any man's ability to put up that kind of man and knock him down. But that is not the question at all. The question is whether or not in this democratic country, in this great Canada of ours, at this parti-
9	p.m. cular juncture when we say that old things have passed away, when this democratic Union Government which we now have tells us that everything has become new-there are no Grits, there are not even any Tories according to its dictum. The old landmarks, they tell us, are forever swept away, or put to one side. Such being the doctrine, and gospel of the Union Government, if everything else of old habits must disappear, and forever, this undemocratic idea of members of an irresponsible body being members of a responsible government, should also disappear? That is the spirit, object, and principle of the resolution of the' hon. member for North Waterloo. But the leader of the Government says there must be Government representation in the Senate. I agree that it is and has been the custom to have a member of the Government in the Senate as a sort of intermediary between that House and the Government.
It does not follow that the man who is that intermediary should have any particular responsibility to the people of this country or should be an administrator at all. Up to a short time ago Sir James Lougheed, although the recognized leader of the Government in the Senate, had no portfolio, and with that condition of affairs no person had any fault to find. But the moment that a man who is a senator and not responsible to the people, a man who cannot be called upon to go before the electorate and give an account of his stewardship, becomes the spender of the people's money as the Senate may tell him to expend it, he should be responsible to the people. It is absolutely impossible, Mr. Speaker, to think of responsible Government if that is not done, because the true essence and meaning of responsible Government is that the Government collectively and individually is responsible to the people and must submit its actions to their final judgment. If that Administration is to a large extent governed by a body that is not obliged to go to the electorate for a verdict in favour of or against its Administration, it is no longer responsible. It is along those lines that my hon. friend moving this resolution is asking the opinion of this House.

Now, let me say to the hon. leader of the Government that only a few days ago-last Friday, was it not?.-he took a spasmodic fit in favour of wide-open democracy in the shape of the Daylight Saving Bill; but I think, as was hinted on this side of the House, that was something that he was quite willing to get clear of, he was willing to be generous in disposing of that he hated to have anything to do with, and he let us have our full fling.


William Thomas White: A final fling.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: He said in effect,
" They think they are having something they are really not getting, and I am delighted to be clear of it and to let them get into all the hot -water they please over it." But now when it comes down to a question that is more democratic, that goes to the very heart of democracy-and we have some very good democrats in this House-[DOT] he cracks the whip at his followers and says, "This must not be accepted," and whether our friends, the supporters of the Government, think this is a democratic idea or not, the ground is cut from under their feet and they must not think at all for themselves, but simply as the Government thinks.
The leader of the Government put forward a few arguments as to why we should have representation in the Senate. If we turn to the Government of the United States, Mr. Speaker, we find that it is governing a hundred million people and has not a representative in either the Senate or the House of Representatives. Still it gets along splendidly, and if the United States Government gets along with the governing of a hundred million people without a representative in Congress, surely this Canada of ours with only eight million people, having full representation of the Government through elected members of this House, can get along without a representative in the Senate.
iMy hon. friend is a good lawyer, and I presume above everything else he is a good constitutional lawyer. I am sure he is not trying to tell us that the Senate is in all respects the same as this House as far as the representation of the people is concerned. He tells us that it is important that the Senate should know what the Government policy is. They have nothing to do, Sir, with Government policy; they are supposed to be paid by the people as an independent body, as a check upon the legislation of this House, absolutely free from party bias one way or the other. That is their function, and that is their position.

It is not necessary therefore, if they are properly discharging that function, to tell them how the wind blows as far as Government policy is concerned; although I do not object to somebody being in the Government without portfolio who can tell the Senate what the policy of the Government is, but they are not so very busy but they might read Hansard and see what is going on in this House. Perhaps it is necessary to chew the food for them and put it in their mouths, but I do not think that is the type of men they are. I think they are willing to read the Bills we send down for their consideration without somebody going over them and telling them what is in them. I do not think it is at all necessary that, on the grounds set forth by the hon. gentleman we should have members of the Senate in the Government.
Now about the question of Labour. The hon. minister knows that that is a department of comparatively recent origin. It has been created for the purpose of giving labour a special voice in this House through a minister, and if there is any department of our Government that requires to be in immediate touch with the legislative body, that department is the Department of Labour, because every hour something arises in this House, some questions to be asked by the men who are here fresh from the people and who are in touch with labour feelings and labour wants. There should be a man sitting in this House, and I submit to tbe Acting Prime Minister that it was always the intention from the inception of this Department of Labour that the minister presiding over it would be in this House. I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, and to the Government that they have no business to take the Minister of Labour, I care not how excellent a man he may be, and place him in the seclusion of the Senate where we who represent labour have never an opportunity of presenting our views to him. He should be sitting in this House and hearing what we say.
I have no advice to give my hon. friend who moved this resolution. I do not wish to establish a precedent that my hon. friend who leads the Government might think would be detrimental J,o the established principles that we have been following in this country, but I think the purpose of the resolution would be served just as well if it were not pressed to a vote.


William Daum Euler: The leader of the Opposition (Mr. McKenzie) has so well answered the arguments of the Acting Prime Minister (Sir Thomas White) that very little is
m
left for me to say. The Acting Prime Minister, being a lawyer, apparently has more respect for precedent than I have. I admitted that the practice we have discussed to-night has been followed in the past, but I am not prepared to admit that because of that it was a correct practice to follow. After all, the Acting Prime Minister was quoting persons in the way of precedents, whereas I was trying to impress principles. He has not answered the argument that ministers in charge of important portfolios [DOT] involving the expenditure of large sums of money should be responsible to the people through the Parliament of Canada. And the vital principle involved in this case of the Postmaster General he has avoided with great skill.
The Acting Prime Minister paid considerable attention to what may be called the constitutional phase of the question. He said that it was in accordance with the constitution that we should have members of the Cabinet in the Senate. I do not think it is mandatory or obligatory that members of the Senate should be in the Cabinet; the matter is entirely subject to the discretion of the Prime Minister or of the Cabinet itself. I am inclined to think, from the tenor of his remarks, that the Acting Prime Minister is, after all, pretty much in sympathy with what I have stated. In fact, he gave expression to the opinion that he would not like to see-he did not use the word "abuse," but I will do so

the abuse carried much further. In view of that assertion, and having regard to the probability that as a result of this we may expect an abatement of an unsound practice, and because of the fact that the Acting Prime Minister has cracked the party whip, I shall not press the motion to a division.
Motion negatived.


VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
Mr. H. H. STEVENS (Vancouver) moved:: That, in the opinion of this House, hoys who enlisted under age and who under the regulations are not at present Included in the present vocational system, shall be given vocational training in such lines as may be considered to their best interest and so as to enable them to complete their educational course interfered with by enlistment. [DOT]
He said: Mr. Speaker, in bringing this resolution before the House I feel that the principle which it embodies will receive a very large measure of sympathy and support from the members of the House, and,

I am quite sure, from the Government. I have purposely limited the resolution so that it applies only to boys enlisted under age. My reason for doing so was this. Many difficulties are involved in the question of vocational training in its wide, broad sense, and I recognize the perplexities with which the Government was faced in deciding just how far to go. I did feel that there could be no opposition to dealing with the class referred to in this resolution, and I made this limitation specifically to enable the Government to get the views of the House with regard to the matter. I feel sure that they will remedy this very serious defect in the system of vocational training. The great dominion of Australia has adopted this system. I state that simply as a suggestion, not particularly as an argument.
The lads who enlisted at the age of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen, will be citizens of Canada for a long time. They are young men, starting at the very-threshold of life, and for the full term of their manhood will be citizens of the country. Parliament, therefore, would assume a very serious responsibility if it interfered in any way with the prospects in life of a young man just at the beginning of his career. That is a very strong point that I wish to emphasize at the outset.
The State owes the boyhood of Canada a fair chance. The citizen owes allegiance, support and loyalty to the State; but the State has its duty to the citizen. These lads demonstrated their loyalty to the State by volunteering their services,-many of them gave up their lives at the front,- and to young fellows of that type the State owes everything they can do for them. II an error was made in allowing these young men to enlist and go overseas, the error was on the part of the -State, not on the part of the boy. The boy simply showed a splendid spirit, the spirit which actuated the manhood of Canada generally; they went overseas typifying the sacrifice, and the grit, and the pluck, of the people of Canada. I wish to give one or two illustrations to bear out my arguments. A young lad enlisted at sixteen years of age and went overseas with the 65th Battalion. He received his certificate for entering High iSchool before he enlisted. He was wounded at Regina Trench. Certain great battles or events of the war stand out from others; one of these is Regina Trench. Any boy who went through that fight and who suffered wounds there is certainly entitled to consideration. This lad has since recovered and returned to Canada after several years' service. He
rMr. Stevens.]
finds himself faced with a regulation which provides that as he is not incapacitated to carry on his previous work he is not entitled to vocational training. What was his previous work? He was a schoolboy. Mark you, this boy goes overseas, performs all the work of a man, heroically faces the enemy, suffers wounds, comes back a full-grown man-because no person could question his manhood after that-and he is asked to go back to school again where he left off, two, three, or four years before, as the case may . be. The perpetuation of such a regulation is too absurd to be seriously, considered 'by. the House.
Another is the case of two brothers who went overseas. The younger enlisted at the age of fifteen. He was a big, husky boy, but the authorities knew he was under age and they kept him in Canada for six or seven months. The boy however was keen to get across and he got an opportunity to go over with one of the battalions. He was engaged in a number of battles and was wounded twice. His elder brother was also wounded, returned, and got vocational training, but this younger boy comes back to Canada and gets no vocational training at all, because when asked his vocation on enlisting he said he was a photographer. As a matter of fact he was a messenger to a photographer in Montreal. They gave him a physical examination when he returned, felt him all over and finding him physically sound, told him:	" You can
carry on as a photographer which was what you were engaged at before enlisting." That is another illustration, and I could give very many more.
I have here a document drawn up by students of Queen's University giving another viewpoint. Briefly, it is this: Some 110, or something like sixty per cent, of the second-year medical students at Queen's -I think the figures are limited to Queen's -went overseas and gave their trained services as orderlies in hospitals; they were not qualified to go as medical men, but gave their two years' training in the university for the benefit of the hospitals, as orderlies. They come back after a couple of years' service without any funds, for they -could save Very little out of an ' orderly's pay, and now they need -assistance to complete their third year. Most of them are young fellows; some of them, though perhaps not all, under age. That is but another illustration of the imperative necessity of this House and Government recognizing the need of helping the boys to carry on their educational courses an l

fitting them for their vocation in life, whatever that may he.
I wish to proceed to another argument, and what I shall say is not in the way of criticism, because all this work is new to the Government and to the country, but simply in the way of suggestion to the Government. My opinion is that our present method of vocational training is too diversified; it is not under one head. It may be answered that, technically speaking, there is a head in Ottawa, but I am speaking not of the ministerial, but of the technical or professional head. As a matter oi fact the training is not under one head so far as administration is concerned. In that respect each unit-and there are something like a dozen different units in Canada- carries on almost independently. Let me give an illustration of one unit with which I have some acquaintance-"J" unit, which is the unit of the province of British Columbia. On the staff of "J" unit are 57 returned men, 9 civilians, and 25 female assistants, mostly stenographers. That makes a staff of 91, which is divided as follows: 38 instructors, 8 ward aids,-that is women who assist in the wards with the cases confined to bed-and 45 administrators. There we have only 46 instructors out of	a	staff	of 91,
and I do submit that the proportion may fairly be considered as almost top heavy. The reason I draw attention to this matter is that I believe the work could be done far better if it were under a head with some special qualifications-a man, for instance, who had been a sub-head of one of our leading educational institutions or universities. A man trained in technical educational work should have supreme control of vocational training in Canada, and each unit should carry on under this central head.
Another point I wish to make in that connection is this: Instead of giving training in electrical engineering, we will say, in each of these different units, it might be very much more to the advantage of the student, and would certainly be to the advantage of the country from a financial standpoint, if the training in these various vocations could be centralized to a greater degree than at present. I will illustrate what I mean by again referring to "J" unit. In "J" unit there are certain centres where vocational training is given. At Fairmont hospital in Vancouver, I find, there are six teachers and five pupils. It is difficult to understand just what the six teachers are doing witli only
five pupils,-perhaps one of the pupils is particularly unruly. At another place, I find two teachers and twenty-four pupils; at another, three teachers and seventy-four pupils; at another, fourteen teachers and one hundred and fifty-nine pupils. The latter three cases are quite reasonable. At Esquimalt there are four teachers and fifteen pupils. The reason I draw the attention of the Government to this is because I believe the cost of administration, which is always advanced as an argument against expenditure on vocational training, could be very materially reduced and the efficiency of the training very much increased; and if a reorganization were effected, not one iota would be added to the cost of extending this education to the young men with whom particularly my resolution deals. Some time ago I asked some questions which have not yet been answered, and which were asked to stand as an order for a return, which has not yet been received, so I am not in a position to give exact data upon this point, but I am informed that there nave been between six and seven hundred applications for vocational training from young boys who enlisted under age which have been turned down; I do not know how many more there are. Let us compare this number who would be affected by my resolution with the number of applications received,-and I do this to show that it is not such a very important matter from the standpoint of finances as we might be led to believe. I am told that Ithe total applications for vocational training are somewhere around 12,000-from 11,900 to 12,000. That is quite a large number and will give the House an idea of the magnitude of the task which the Government have in hand. Now the point I make is this: That the administration cost for additional pupils would be comparatively slight compared with the administration cost of the training now given, and particularly so if a better organization of the system of training were effected.
I wish at this point to ask a question which I think is of vital importance. If we refuse these boys this technical or vocational training, what is to become of them?
They left the country as boys out of High school or college, or from the shop; they were merely lads playing around their homes. They leave, and in a couple of years are transformed into men-a transformation that, had they remained in civil life, it would have taken probably ten or lifteen years to effect. Tt is unreasonable to expect that these lads in any large num-

ber will go quietly back to school to resume their education at the point at which they left off. If they will not do that-as I am sure they will not-what is their future to be? There is only one thing open to them, that is, the common labour market; I say emphatically- that it would be wrong to take keen-spirited lads like these-because they were the keenest-spirited of all who enlisted-and, after they have been to the front and have rendered such admirable service, many of them returning seriously wounded, simply turn them loose and say, " Now you can go to the pick and shovel." This Parliament and this country owe to every one of them at the very least a technical education. We owe them the chance of making good in this life, and it is our bounden duty to see that they get that chance. I accordingly urge this resolution, and would bespeak for it the most serious and careful attention of the Government.	,
At this point I would offer another suggestion, and that is in reference to the establishment of technical schools in Canada. I believe, Sir, that this is an excellent opportunity for the Government to take advantage of the suggestions put forward in a very long report on technical education made some years ago under the authority, I think of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Government. I remember having seen the report, although I had not the time to give it any careful perusal. It strongly advocated the establishment of technical schools in Canada, and if ever there was a necessity for such institutions it surely exists to-day, not only for these lads but also for other men who have been wholly or partially incapacitated. Technical schools are urgently needed, and this would be an eminently opportune time to establish them and make them a permanent institution. I do not think that there is an hon. member in the House, or an intelligent citizen in the country who will question the advisability of establishing such schools. Taking that for granted, when could a better opportunity present itself for the undertaking than at this moment? For these reasons I would impress upon the Government, and particularly upon the minister in charge of this department, the importance of technical schools for the instruction of the youths who enlisted under age as well as other men seeking technical education or vocational training. I do not desire to labour the question, but the problem facing us is one which not only merits our attention, but imposes a

serious duty upon us, and I trust the Government will not pass it off with the comment that the matter is a complicated one which may open the door to serious and expensive demands from all quarters, but will realize, in its fullest significance, the fact that there are some six or seven hundred lads who enlisted underage and did their bit and who have now come back with the simple request that they be given a decent technical education to fit them for their future life work. The very least that a grateful government and people can do is to give these lads the opportunity they deserve and badly need, and for these reasons I move the resolution.


Hugh Clark: Mr. Speaker, when this question first came up Canada did what I think every other country at war did. It regarded disability as the line of division between men who should be re-trained and men who should not. This was the only line that could be taken by which we could avoid what might be considered as class legislation. It may probably be argued that we have strayed from that in connection with our Soldiers' Settlement Act when we re-train men to enter into agriculture. But as against this argument it must be remembered that our object was to encourage the returned Soldiers to take up agriculture, and the object of the re-training was to ascertain whether or not the applicants were fit and proper persons to whom certain loans should be given to enable them to go into farming. Outside of that I think we can say that we have so far avoided anything that might be called class legislation. I admire my hon. friend from Vancouver Centre (Mr. Stevens) in the sympathetic attitude he takes towards the men who enlisted under age, because I am firmly convinced they were impelled by a splendid spirit of patriotism, a spirit perhaps not shown by others of ma-turer years; I believe, as he does, that the Government should have some regard for these young men who have devoted two, three or four of the most precious years of their lives to the service of their country -years in which their characters were forming, and in which they and their parents hoped they would be able to qualify in some profession or occupation by which to earn their livelihood.
My hon. friend suggests that he does not want to hear any reasons why this project should not be undertaken, but I must tell him that when it was first proposed it opened the door to other propositions as

well. The proposal was made to us by the universities, to which it was represented by the returned men that those who wished to have an education should he given it. We had the further demand that other people who were not students should be compensated for losses in business, or should be given loans to set them up in business, and the subject assumed such large proportions that the Department of Soldiers' Civil ReEstablishment decided to go no further with it. This, however, was owing to no lack of sympathy with the proposal my hon. friend has just advanced. The entire subject of university training has engaged the attention of the Repatriation Committee of the Government, a member of which committee will no doubt speak after I have concluded. .The university students whose courses were interrupted, and who, perhaps, are in as bad a position as young men who enlisted under age, must also be considered, and that is a matter that will have to come before the Government. I can well understand the arguments of my hon.- friend with respect to all these classes of men. He has anticipated the contention that might be made as regards increased cost, by giving us the cost of organization and of maintenance, and he has suggested that there should be more centralization. Had I expected these arguments I might, be in a better position to meet them. However, I wish to say that the young men in whom my hon. friend has shown such sympathetic interest have the same interest and sympathy from myself.


Mr. F. L. DAVIS (Neepawa):: Mr. Speaker, I regret that so small a House is present to consider the question which the hon. member for Vancouver Centre (Mr. Stevens) has brought to the fore. I also regret that I have made no preparation to address the House on this subject, but it is one that I have been interested in and I would like therefore to have a word upon it. If the wealth of the country is its manhood, as we all believe, this question is one that very greatly concerns the future of our Canadian soldiers, and more especially is it necessary that we should deal with the very young men of the class which the hon. member for Vancouver has dealt with. The very young man has not fixed his course in life; he has not as yet set before him what his life aim shall be, as the university student or the man who has chosen a professional course has. There will be a very serious void in this young man's life unless an unusual effort is made to engage his interest in its future development. I believe that Parliament is
interested in getting this young man started upon a course of vocational training, the machinery for which has been largely provided. It is not a matter of extending it to the young men who can be brought into the schools and technical colleges which the Government will operate apart in any event from the question of training injured soldiers. I therefore would give my support to the proposition and earnestly commend it to the House.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Mr. Speaker, I did not expect to take part in this debate, but I think something should be said in support of the proposition brought forward by the hon. member for Vancouver Centre. In my humble opinion, the State owes a very special debt to those boys of fifteen or sixteen who went to the front, because they never should have been allowed to go. If the State allowed them to go to the front, then the State is under an obligation to see that they are equipped to lead useful lives when they come back. I was somewhat astonished to hear the remarks made by the hon. Acting Parliamentary Secretary of the Department oi Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment (Mr. Hugh Clark). What I gathered from his remarks was that a claim was made to this Government on behalf of those boys that they should be entitled to vocational training, and that apparently this was a just claim; that again a demand was made for special training by people who had lost money, and that that was not such a just claim as the other; that these matters constituted a proposition of such tremendous importance and difficulty to the Government that the only thing they could offer to the boys at the present time was warm and sincere sympathy. I think that the young men who are in a position that the hon. member for Vancouver Centre has brought before the House are entitled to something more.


Hugh Clark: Mr. Speaker, I made mention of those cases because each grow out of the other and what I did say was that all these questions- were matters that were engaging the attention of the Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment Department.


Andrew Ross McMaster: No doubt they are engaging the attention of the Government, but that the war was going to come to an end was an idea that we had been cherishing for years. Incidents of this class ought to have been considered months ago rather than, as the Government tell us, after the boys come home and are discharged from

the army. It is during the first few months after they are discharged that they must be interested in some line or they will drift into those blind alleys of employment that the member for Vancouver Centre indicated. I endorse most heartily what has been said by hon. members on the other side of the House, and urge that this matter is of paramount and immediate importance. It seems to me that the Government has only to amend its regulations so as to say that all the school hoys who left Canada and who served in the army should, on their return, have the right to vocational training even if they do not come within the four corners of the present regulations. These regulations could very easily he amended. It is far better that the Government should offer training to a few who perhaps do not deserve it than that they should not give any of this class of boys the training to which they are entitled.


Newton Wesley Rowell: Mr. Speaker, the question
brought to the attention of the House by the hon. member for Vancouver Centre (Mr. Stevens) is one of very great importance and I am sure all the members of the House are deeply interested in it. 1 believe the number under the age of eighteen years who enlisted, is substantially larger than my hon. friend mentions. I have not the final figures but the estimate which I have received, and which is based on the information the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment has secured is between 5,000 and 7,000. The hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) suggested that the enlistment of these boys should not have been permitted. I imagine that very few were knowingly permitted. I imagine that the boys gave their ages as 18 years or more in order to get overseas. I believe there were many instances of that kind. T remember on one occasion being at a camp in Prance where I saw a boy who was obviously under 18 years of age. I also saw a man who was obviously over military age. I said to the man who was over military age: How did this boy get over here? He turned to the boy and said: How do you come to be here? The boy replied: I got here in the same way as you did-by lying about my age. Many of the boys in their anxiety to get over, gave an age above what it actually was.
I am only saying that in answer to what my hon. friend said that the Government should not have permitted them to enlist. But that they constituted an exceedingly fine body of young men no one will ques-
(Mr. McMnstor. |
tion. I remember many of them were brought back from France when it was found that they were under age. Last summer we saw at Bramshott a full battalion of young boys under the command of Colonel McKay of Winnipeg.
Some of those boys had one or two wound stripes on their arm, and I must say I never saw a finer battalion- than that battalion composed of boys all under eighteen years of age. The majority of them had served at the front. Others had gone as far as England and were weeded out of other battalions and incorporated in this boys' battalion under the comnland of an able and sympathetic commanding officer, who was giving them training in England.
Now, as my hon. friend from North Bruce (Mr. Clark) has pointed out, the basis upon which the work of the vocational branch of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment is carried on is to provide an education for disabled soldiers, a disability of the soldier which prevents him from resuming his former occupation, and the training courses are established and carried on to fit him for a new pursuit. May I turn to the section of the Order in Council which defines the conditions upon which a man becomes entitled to vocational training under the regulations as they now exist:
Any former member of the forces suffering from a disability which in the opinion of a naval or military medical board, or of a medical officer of the department, is due to or was aggravated by service, and which in the opinion of the Directors of Vocational Training of the Department prevents such former member of the forces from returning to his previous trade or principal occupation, shall be entitled to retraining for a new occupation in accordance with the regulations of the department, and to such allowances as are provided herein for former members of the forces undergoing re-training.
A great many men come within that class, and vocational training is now being carried on throughout the country at the various centres as established by the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment. That training may be described under three heads.
There is the training which is being given in certain universities and schools to those who desire to enter upon a course, or a vocation, which justifies the sending of them to these schools. In other cases, where special training is required, it has beeen found necessary to establish classes conducted entirely by the department. The third method is the utilization in industries of the apprentice system, where these men are given training in shops or factories in

the particular occupation which they desire to pursue, and their income is supplemented as provided in the Order in Council.
From all who have come within the classes I have referred to, special provision is made by way of pay and allowances. The allowance payable by the department to a former member of the forces who is without dependents will be $60 per month. He receives $60 a month during the whole period he is undergoing this training, as well as free instruction in the school. The allowances payable while undergoing training by the department, for a former member of the forces, who has a wife, or a wife and child, or a wife and children, is as follows:
For such former member of the
Forces	 $85.00 amonth
For one child	 10.00 a month
For two children	 18.00 a month
For three children	 25.00 a month
For more than three children ..	25.00 a month
Plus $6 a month for each child in excess of
three.
The House wilKthiis see and realize the amount that is being contributed by the Government in the case of each of these disabled men, or for a disabled man who has a wife and children. Then, corresponding allowances are made where he is a widower with dependent children. Corresponding allowances are also made where the man, though not married, has others dependent upon him, as in the case with the soldier serving at the front. In other words his position is kept as nearly as possible as it was while he was serving in the army, and he draws pay and allowances during the period he is undergoing training.
It is quite Liue, as has been pointed cut, that this provision does not apply to those who are not disabled, and this raises a very important question. It applies with particular force to those under eighteen years of age. But, as my hon. friend from North Bruce (Mr. Hugh Clark) has mentioned, it has been pressed upon the Government that the relief should not be limited to those under eighteen years, but that provision should be made for all whose education has been interrupted. It is only necessary to point out that the average cost per man of vocational training is about $1,000, to indicate the amount of the charge which would be placed upon the country if many thousands more were brought within the provisions of the existing regulations.


Henry Herbert Stevens: Does the $1,000 include the cost of administration and plant? Does it represent the whole cost?


Newton Wesley Rowell: Approximately the whole-cost.


Henry Herbert Stevens: The minister will realize that the larger the number the smaller the individual cost.


Newton Wesley Rowell: Quite so, that would reduce the administration charge undoubtedly. The number undoubtedly will steadily and rapidly increase as the troops come back, and as the disabled men return from the hospitals in England. Therefore it is-anticipated that there will be a large increase in the number that even under the existing regulations will require treatment in the vocational institutions provided:.. While that is all true, everything that has been said about these boys is also perfectly true. Undoubtedly it is a mat-
10	p.m. ter of serious moment to Canada, and to all the nations at war, that so large a percentage of young men, just at the age when character is being formed, and when they must get their education, if they are to get it under the most advantageous conditions, were called upon to serve their country at the front and have been deprived of these educational opportunities. Unless these young men do receive an education now we will undoubtedly suffer in the future in the educational leadership of our country. I am sure all will recognize that at no period of our history was it more important that we should have our citizens, and particularly those who will be the leaders of our people, thoroughly trained and given the best education that is available in order that they may render to the State the ser-' vice which that education should qualify them to render. As my hon. friend (Mr. Hugh Clark) has said, this whole problem is receiving the earnest consideration of the Government. The Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment is looking into the number who will be affected by a provision for those under eighteen years. We are also looking into the question of the boys whose university course has been interrupted, to see what financial obligation would be involved if anything is attempted in that direction. This question has been considered by the Repatriation Committee of the Cabinet, and a report has been prepared upon the matter, which will come before the Government for consideration probably within a few days. In view of that fact I must ask my hon. friend, who has very properly brought this matter to the attention of the House, if, having done so, he could see his way clear to withdraw the motion. It is a matter involving

governmental policy which is receiving the earnest attention of the Government at the present time, and upon which an announcement may be expected in the near future.
One other matter I might mention. My honourable friend referred to technical education and the opportunity this would offer the Government for dealing with the suggestions contained in the report on technical education which was made some few years ago by the Commission appointed by the Government of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Might I draw my honourable friend's attention to the fact that in the Speech from the Throne there is an announcement that a Bill will be brought down this session providing for vocational training. A Bill will be introduced into the House this session dealing with the question and providing substantial assistance for the work of technical education in the different provinces of the Dominion. There can be no doubt of the importance of technical education, of the great practical benefits which would result to the industrial life of the country if we had a larger trained body, such as we might secure by the enlargement of existing institutions or the establishment of others where technical education might be given.
Mr. WILLIAM F. NICKLE (Kingston): Mr. Speaker, before this resolution is withdrawn by its mover I would like to say a word or two on behalf of the principle enunciated during the debate. As the President of the Privy Council (Mr. Rowell) has said, to avoid legislation being thought to be class legislation, those responsible for the promulgation of the regulations affecting vocational training established the principle that vocational training should only be given to those who through disability had been impaired in their trade or occupation as practised before the war. That admits that the soldier prior to enlistment-not the schoolboy, but the soldier who had a trade or occupation-was in a position then to earn his living, and that if his disability was. of such a character that on his return he could not earn his living, then the State recognized its responsibility to give him such a training as would enable him to earn a living in another sphere of activity. But when you come to apply that principle to the position of the schoolboy, you find yourself confronted with this difficulty. The schoolboy at the time of his enlistment-and I am speaking now particularly of the boy in our high schools .and our secondary schools-was not in a position

to earn a living; he was building the foundation on which he hoped later on to earn a living. He went over as a boy of sixteen or seventeen, the companion of girls at school with short skirts and flowing curls and of boys in knickerbockers-children so to speak living at home, kept in the parental establishment at the minimum of cost. He spent two, three or four years at the front. He returned, not a boy of seventeen, but a man of twenty-one, and not only a man of twenty-one in years, but a man of probably twenty-five in experience, in aspirations and in instincts. He cannot return to the secondary school which he left three or four years ago, he must go into the university, where his class fees are greater, and his maintenance higher, and where the general average of living costs are much more than when he was ,a schoolboy.
What is going to become of the young man? He cannot go back to school, because there	is no	place	there	for	him.If means are not provided for him	and-il	speak of	him	who
has not been born with a silver spoon in his mouth-if he has not the means to eon-tiue his education he must give it up. If he had not a trade or occupation prior to going to the war, what is he to do? Because he was willing to sacrifice his future when seventeeen years of age is he to go back to the very roughest of trades, to become a manual labourer? I do not believe that that is the desire or the intention of the Government, and I am impressed to-night by what the President of the Privy 'Council said, that this Government appreciates the necessities of the situation and is endeavouring to find a solution for them. And the President of the Privy 'Council is quite correct when he says that the problem does not stop with the boy who went to the front when he was seventeeen years of age. I am confronted in my own riding, more particularly in the university with which I happen to have the honour to be connected, with the troubles of the medical students and students of the 'School of 'Science. The universities did magnificently in the war. I have not the figures as fully as I would have had them had I any expectation of this debate, but I know the Royal Military College lost in the neighbourhood of 150 of its graduates and undergraduates; that Toronto University lost somewhere in the neighbourhood of 550; that McGill-I regret I have not the figures-


An hon. MEMBER:: A very large contribution.


William Folger Nickle: -but I know McGill gave a magnificent contribution to the war, and Queen's University sacrificed 150 of its graduates and under-graduates. But not only did we sacrifice many men through death, many of our best-and they were the leaders in university life- were impelled by the call of duty when war broke out to go to the front in the most, I was going to say menial, capacity. Medical students of three and four years' standing went as hospital orderlies earning only enough to keep them at the front. Then when they return t>
Canada after giving two or three years from the creative period of their life they find that the six months' course has been extended to eight months, and when they look about to seek employment to put them through they find in these disturbed times that there is no employment to be had, and they are obliged either to seek financial assistance or abandon their course. Last Saturday when in Kingston I was waited upon by a delegation of medical students who explained to me, speaking for their class, that unless they were granted assistance by way of donation, or unless some other financial arrangements were made, it was impossible for many of them to see how their academic course could be completed.
The universities are impressed with the necessity of making up to these young men the years they have lost in the war, and some of them this year are running summer sessions so that a man who is anxious because of the lack of the wherewithal for the more extended course may in two years take the four years' course, that is, in one-half the ordinary academic course he can fit himself for his chosen profession.
I sincerely trust that the Government will give this matter most careful and immediate consideration, because I am impressed with this fact, that if there is one class more than another that has paid a terriffic penalty in this war it is that class which is composed of the leading spirits in our university and educational life, and in the years to come it is absolutely essential that as promptly as possible these men who went down to death be replaced by other men of the same high spirit, vigour of thought and intellectual quality, if Canada is not to feel more severely than she should the sacrifices she has been called upon to make in this war.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Mr. Speaker, I have not anything particular to add to what has been so well said by the mover of the resolution and by the other hon. gentlemen -who have spoken, but silence on my part, on account of the position which I hold, might be construed as indicating that I have no special interest in this resolution, when the contrary is the fact. I agree entirely with what has been said by the mover of the resolution as to the very great importance of allowing those young men to get within the scope of the vocational training which is now being given, Nothing should be allowed to stand in the way. I suggest to the President of the Privy Council (Mr. Rowell), who seems to speak with authority for the Government on this question, that no time be lost in enabling these young men to get the advantages which others are receiving from this branch of education. The country generally has reason to find fault with the Government for being slow in connection with these matters.
The member for Vancouver Centre (Mr. Stevens) mentioned technical education. That is a matter that has been receiving the attention of this House for many years. Ever since 1910, when a commission was appointed by the Government of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier to inquire into the matter, it has received the attention of the country in concrete form. The Government of Sir Robert Borden, early in its lifetime, found in its archives the report of this Commission. I have distinct recollection of this matter coming up in the House every year and of promises repeatedly made that some action would be taken. But eight years have gone by and nothing has been done either by this Government or by the Government preceding it-which was, to my mind, just the same Government under a somewhat different name. And to-night when a supporter of the Government asks wha1 is to be done about technical education, he is told that somewhere, sometime, something may come forth into actuality. Technical education is at all times important; to-day it is more important than ever. If the Government wish to give the industries of this country a good start and a good standing, let them stop high protection and devote their attention to technical education. The industries will then be put upon a good footing, efficiency will be brought about in our producing centres, and oui manufacturing industries will have such r superior standing in the world that protection will no longer be required. I make this argument not in a broad sense of talking politics or tariffs, but simply to illustrate the great necessity of putting

the young men and young women who are to be the producers of our country on an equal footing with those of any other part of the world by giving them technical training.
In the province from which I come we have an excellent technical college; I am proud to say that Nova Scotia was the first province, with its small means, to build up a first class institution of that kind. That technical college is affiliated with the universities in our own province; students holding two-years' certificates from any recognized college in Canada may finish the other two years in our technical college and get their degree. I do not know how many of the other provinces have similar institutions, but I am sure that institutions of that kind can be made sufficiently strong and sufficiently important to be self-sustaining and to be of great benefit not only to the provinces in which they are established, but to the whole country as well. After we get well on our feet in establishing these institutions throughout the provinces, we could have a great central institution for the whole of Canada. But, to begin with, we should have institutions in the various provinces, supported by such sums of money out of the Treasury of the country as will enable them to be put upon a first class and efficient footing and carry on such technical education as is recommended by the Robertson Commission Report now in the hands of the Government.
I fully agree with the arguments put forth by the mover of this resolution, and I hope that what he has in mind will be carried out at once by those who have charge of vocational training; and, further, that the matter of technical education and the carrying out of the terms of the report to which I have referred will be taken up by the Government as soon as possible. I hope that the Government will move; I hope they will start up and do some work. We on this side of the House are ready to meet them and help them along. From day to day, when items of Government work on the Order Paper are reached, the response is given: "Stand"-[DOT] "Stand"-"Stand"- nobody ready to do anything. When we come to have a long dreary session in the hot summer, we shall be blamed on this side for blocking the business of the House, 'whereas we are doing nothing of the kind. We invite the Government to get along with their work, and we will help them; we will help them particularly with this technical education and in the carrying out of the ideas sug-

gested by the resolution of the member for Vancouver Centre.


Henry Herbert Stevens: The Acting Parliamentary Secretary of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment (Mr. Hugh Clark), said that the basis upon which vocational training was granted to returned soldiers was that of disability. I appreciate, as I stated a moment ago, the perplexities with which those administering this department have been faced; but I think they have had sufficient experience now to have the matter well in hand. I should like to emphasize the fact that I have limited the application of the resolution to boys who enlisted under age. This, I think, is a fair answer to the suggestion that it opens the door to many other claims. The President of the Privy Council (Hon. Mr. Rowell) stated that my figures were very much out when I gave 700 as the number of applicants of boys under age for vocational training. He gives the alarming figure of 5,000.


Newton Wesley Rowell: My hon. friend will pardon me; I gave 5,000 not as the number of applicants, but as the number under age who enlisted.


Henry Herbert Stevens: I say that this figure is an alarming one; it emphasizes the gravity of the problem with which we are faced. The further argument is made that the boys who enlisted under age are personally to blame because they described themselves as being older than they were. Surely the medical examiners would not pass 5,000 boys who were under age -that is	a very large number.
If true, it certainly does not reflect much credit on the medical examiners. I can easily understand that a great many would get through. I know boys personally who enlisted when under age and who were quite well known to be under age by the military authorities who accepted them. The cost of training 5,000 boys at $1,000 each would be $5,000,000, and- what the House and the Government must consider is this: Is it worth $5,000,000 to take 5,000 boys out of the cesspool of ignorance and put them on the highway to decency and capability? In justification I may say it is not my fault I did not get the right figures. I think if the minister had given me about two hours in his office I could have got the figures exactly. I am sure they must be easily available on short notice, and I cannot understand why the figures have not been given in answer to the question I asked over two weeks ago. At all events, the Bill is in preparation and

I am willing at the request of the Government to withdraw this resolution at present. But in all courtesy and in a perfectly kind spirit, I am going to advise the Government that if the principle of this resolution is not included in the Bill when brought down I shall exercise my freedom as a citizen of Canada and as a member of this House to fight the Bill to a finish, because I feel this is too important a matter to be lightly dealt with. I do not say that with any desire to harass the Government, but I think the expression of opinion here tonight should be quite sufficient for the Government to include such a provision in the Bill as is sought by this resolution. I wish to thank the Government for saying they are going to bring down the Bill.
Motion withdrawn.


ST. CHARLES RIVER IMPROVEMENTS -THE KING V. BELANGER.
Rodolphe Lemieux: For a copy of all papers, records, and other documents, In the case of His Majesty the King, Appellant, and Pierre Edouard Emile Belanger! Respondent, now pending in the Supreme Court of Canada.
He said: Mr. Speaker, last year on two occasions I brought this matter before the House, and I wish now just to point out very briefly the facts of this case. As you are aware* some years ago the Government decided to build a dam on the River St. Charles at Quebec. A gentleman by the name of Belanger was the proprietor of two beach lots on the River St. Charles, and when the time came to build the dam in question expropriation proceedings were taken, and a petition was entered before the Exchequer Court, where the respondent Belanger, who was the plaintiff in the court below, claimed from the Government the sum of $800,000 in round figures; this seemingly representing 50 cents per square foot for one of the two lots and 35 cents per square foot for the other. His Majesty the King was represented in this case by a very eminent counsel from Levis, Mr. Bernier, who has been the batonnier of the bar in that district and, if I mistake not, for the whole province of Quebec. Mr. Bernier denied that Belanger had any valid title to these two lots, denied also that the portion of these lots situate between high and low water marks were always water lots situate in the estuary of the River St. Charles and covered with the waters thereof, and affirmed that said lots always formed part of the Crown lands and were never legally granted to anybody. That was one of the
pleas filed by the Crown as represented by its counsel. Then it was averred that even if the respondent proved his title, a reasonable sum ascertained under the provisions of the Expropriation Act should be paid him for the value of such lands and the damages resulting therefrom. The enquete took place. Mr. Justice Audette of the Exchequer Court, went to Quebec and quite an array of witnesses was summoned before him. Finally, on the 28th of June, 1917, judgment was rendered. The Court held that the respondent had proven his title and was entitled to recover the value of the lands. The amount awarded by Mr. Justice Audette for the two lots totalled $215,925.10, with interest. To that amount the judge added the 10 per cent which is allowed in some cases owing to peculiar circumstances. This 10 per cents, at the rate of 10 cents a square foot, represented the sum of $21,592.51. The case was appealed by His Majesty the King and came up before the Supreme Court last year when this Parliament was in session. In his factum the counsel for the Crown stated that the Crown accepted the judgment of the Exchequer Court as regards the larger amount, but appealed as regards the smaller sum of $21,592.51. When the case came up before the Supreme Court one of the judges appeared to be surprised at the way in which it had been conducted, and inquired of counsel if the Crown were really appealing only as regards the smaller award, or as regards the larger sum as well. On counsel insisting *that the appeal was in respect of the smaller sum only, the court of its own initiative stopped the case and decided to ask that new instructions be given to counsel. This attracted my attention .as it appeared in the press, and I was curious enough to look at the record of the case. To my amazement I found some startling developments in it. I discovered that Mr. Justice Audette had reluctantly made the award after witnesses had been heard in the city of Quebec. He said:
The lands in question were acquired by the suppliant for the sum of $18,165.32, and were practically yielding no revenue save the renting of one house on lot 513, and pasture on lot 560. These lots lie in the estuary of the river St. Charles, and are nothing but a stretch of muddy soil upon which in the case of 560 some marine grass grows upon which cattle may feed ; but the land is entirely covered by water at high tide, and the lot has been practically idle and no use has been made of it for years and years. Wharves may he built upon the same, as wharves may be built in fields, but it has no access to deep water, except to the height of the water brought in by the tide. Lot No. 513

is impracticable far building purposes. It is a beach lot. Some of the witnesses were candid enough to say, they thought the property had very little value, but it might have value for public purposes and assessed it on that basis. In other words, that the property was of very little value to the owner, but might toe of Some good value to a party expropriating for public purposes, or for a scheme like the present works. However, it is now settled' law that in assessing compensation for property taken under compulsory powers, it is not proper to consider as port of the market value to the owner such value as the land taken may have to the party expropriating when viewed as an integral part of the proposed work or undertaking.
The Court must guard against fostering speculating in expropriation matters, and must not encourage the making of extravagant claims, and more especially must guard against being carried away by the subtle arguments of real estate speculators or expert witnesses and thus rerider the execution of public works impossible or prohibitive. While the owner must toe amply compensated- in that he shall toe no poorer after the expropriation, it is no reason to charge the public exchequer with exorbitant compensation built upon an imaginary or speculative -basis. These remarks I must confess are provoked by the extravagant amount of the claim of the suppliant, namely the sum of $80-0,0-8-5.65 for a property which cost him, a few years before, the sum of $18,1615.37 as above set forth, and more especially when the property -has been idle for years -and years and the -public work in question herein is the only thing which wil-l give it any value. I feel I am perhaps allowing too high an amount for a -property composed of waste flats and -beach entirely covered with water at high tides, whicih -a -few years ago cost in round figures $18,000 and which -had- fbeen for years practically unproductive and has been a charge upon the owner, the taxes being larger than the revenues, and but for the public work in question would, have very likely remained idle for years to come.
However, the judge rendered his judgment, -and to the sum of [DOT] 8215,925.10 he added 10 per cent for -compulsory taking- because the land had been taken against the owner's will-the total sum being $237,517.61. Now I confess that when I read this judgment, and the appeal therefrom, I w.as startled to find that for a property consisting of two be-ach lots on the -St. Charles river which had cost the owner originally $18,000, and which did not produce enough revenue for years -and years to pay -the taxes, His Majesty the King should pay over $237,000. This was acquired for a public work which, I am informed, has been abandoned.


Hugh Boulton Morphy: Has the hon. gentleman discovered in the record the evidence upon which the judge based his finding allowing $21-5,000?


Rodolphe Lemieux: I have not the evidence before me, but I had it last year. The evidence, with the plans, is filed in the
[Mr. T.cmieux.l
Supreme Court. The evidence is very lengthy. I found that last year no expert appraiser had been called as a witness. Several neighbours and friends had been called. When the man from whom this property was purchased died his estate had been obliged to pay the inheritance tax to the provincial government and a declaration was filed which, had it been filed in this case, would have proven that the estate attached no value whatsoever to these lots. Yet, that evidence was not adduced before the judge. The judge reluctantly granted that enormous amount of $237,000 for a property which was bought for $18,000 and which for years had not produced enough to pay the taxes.
The judges of the Supreme Court were startled, stopped the case and told the counsel for the Government that he should receive new instructions from the Department of Justice. What I want to know from the Minister of Justice, or his representative, is whether or not new instructions have been issued, whether new evidence has been adduced and just what the Government intends to do in this matter.
With the present financial condition of the country it would be nothing short of scandalous that this enormous amount oi money should be paid to land speculators especially when the object for which the construction was made-a dam-is being abandoned by the -Government. I think the House is entitled to get some explanation from the Government because, as will be shown by the record, this land was bought evidently with the view of carrying on a speculation at the expense of the taxpayers. The Government has been warned. On two occasions last year I called the attention of the House to this case and I am informed that the case was lately given a re-hearing by the Supreme Court. No new instructions were issued. Possibly the judgment may he that the award of the Exchequer Court be confirmed. No doubt it will be confirmed because the Counsel for the Department of Justice accepts the award and contests it only for the smaller amount. It is something remarkable. Here is an award of $237,000 given reluctantly by the judge, as the judge so admitted. Counsel goes before the court, files his factum, introduces his case and says: Oh, well, as regards the large amount of $225,000, the Crown accepts that award, hut as regards the $25,000, we intend to fight. It is a very strange circumstance indeed. The damming of the river St. Charles has been stopped, so I

am informed, and yet this case goes one. Some time next fall somebody will startle the country by stating that the amount has been paid. I do not care one whit wheie it is that the expropriation has taken place. It would be far better for me probably not to say a word. I would be very popular in the neighbourhood if I would remain silent on this question. But I am a taxpayer, I am one of the legislators of Canada, and it is my duty as a legislator and a member of Parliament to protest against such a scandalous transaction. The Government, I repeat, has been warned, but instead of heeding the warning the Government is proceeding with the case and no action has been taken. Well, I give a last warning to the Government and I say: Retrace your steps, and stop this proceeding because it is nothing short of a scandal.


John Dowsley Reid: Mr. Speaker, if the hon. gentleman had spent five minutes telephoning to the Department of Public Works and making inquiry there he would have understood the situation in regard to this matter and he never would have made the speech that he has made this evening. The only reason that I am saying anything in answer to what the hon. gentleman has said is that my hon. friend the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Carvell) and my hon. friend the Acting Minister of Justice (Mr. Meighen) are absent. I am not seized of all the facts but let me say that I was in Quebec and looked over this property when I was Acting Minister of Public Works. It is true the property was expropriated, but I do not think any Minister of Public Works would have ever considered the purchase of that property even at $18,000. Certainly, I would not myself have taken it at that sum. However, the property was expropriated and the case was sent to the Exchequer Court, which is the customary procedure in expropriation proceedings. The decision of the Exchequer Court is supposed to be satisfactory to all, but what astonishes me, as well as the hon. gentleman who has just taken his seat, was that the Exchequer Court gave judgment for $215,000. That fact not only surprised me, but it surprised the Government as a whole. I am free to admit that the case was badly handled in the Exchequer Court. I believe that if the Government had been represented by better counsel that judgment would never have been given. An appeal to the Supreme Court followed, and argument was heard in that court. However, the Department of Justice was following the case,
and when it heard in court the position taken by counsel, as stated by the hon. member, a stay of proceedings was applied for and granted. The Department of Justice engaged other counsel and took the case in hand itself. If the hon. gentleman has made inquiries ho must know that the department asked for a new trial, and that a new trial was granted. He must also know if he is acquainted with the facts, that the Department of Public Works has filed a plan abandoning three-quarters of the property for the reason that it does not require it. What will now happen is this: one-fourth of the property has been built on and therefore must be retained, but there will be a valuation of it. Unless we get a fair valuation there will be a further hearing in the Exchequer Court, and the Government will be represented by the best counsel it can get. When the case is tried, and judgment rendered, it will be fair and just. With the full information in his possession, which the hon. gentleman could have got by merely telephoning for it as I did, it would not have been necessary to have taken up the time of the House for one hour to-night trying to make it appear that there has been an awful scandal, whereas the facts are that three-quarters of the property that was sought to be foisted on the Government have been abandoned, that only twenty-five per cent of the property is being retained, for which a fair value will be paid, and that instead of $215,000 having been paid out not one dollar has been expended.


Thomas Vien: I know something of the circumstances of this case, and I know the counsel who was employed by the Government. That counsel has been the Batonnier of the Bar of Quebec, Baton-nier General of the province of Quebec, mayor of the city of Levis, member in the Quebec Legislature for the County of Levis, and is one of the most respected lawyers at the Bar of Quebec. Last year when this question came up, the Minister of Justice made this reply to an interpelation by the member for Maisonneuve (Air. Lemieux):
t There Is not any doubt that the Crown was represented by counsel. The facts in regard to the direct action of the Crown are that the instructions were of the clearest possible kind, that an appeal should be made from the entire award, and the appeal which was lodged under the immediate direction of the Deputy Minister of Justice, as the departmental records will certainly show, was an appeal from the entire award.
The documents which will be filed will show that the appeal was not for the entire

award, but for the ten per cent specially provided in the award by the judge of the Exchequer Court.
Mr. J. D. RlEID: It may be true that the appeal to the 'Supreme Court was made in the way that the hon. gentleman states, but it was the lawyer from Levis who made it, not the Justice Department.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Under whose instructions?


Thomas Vien: I will come to that point,
because I have something more in store for the hon. minister. The Minister of Railways (Mr. J. D. Reid) now acknowledges that the appeal was only for the ten per -cent, and yet the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty), when giving information to this House last year, said that the appeal had been made under the direction of the Deputy Minister of Justice and for the full award. We now have the evidence that the appeal was not made for the full award, but only for the ten per cent. There is something further. The hon. gentleman says the appeal was made only for the ten per cent, but it was made thorugh counsel who did not obey his instructions. Well, Sir, a few days after the session
11	pjm. closed-and the statement to which I have referred was given to the House by the Minister of Justice on the 23rd of May, 1918, the very day of prorogation-I returned to Quebec and had an interview with Mr. Bernier himself. He then told me definitely that he had written instructions to appeal only for the ten per cent. There is something very mysterious about this case. I have not the slightest doubt that the counsel engaged by the Crown to act in these proceedings tells the truth when he says he had written instructions, and it simply envelops the whole affair in greater mystery. This is particularly true when we remember that the Minister of Justice made the statement last year that the appeal was for the full award, whereas to-day we have the evidence that it was not for the full award but only for the ten per cent.
I say, Sir, that this case is really tantamount to a big scandal. It is a scandal to see the Minister of Justice give wrong information to the House on a matter of such importance. Before giving the information he should have taken steps to verify it. I am not going so far as to say that he deliberately gave wrong information, but surely when a minister of the Crown is giving an answer to a question put to him
rAir. Vien.]
in this House his answer should be based on first-hand knowledge. It is also .mysterious and almost tantamount to a scandal for a minister of the Crown to say that he gave instructions and that the appeal was for the full award, when the counsel who was retained by the Government to deal with this matter

and who is a reliable member of the Quebec Bar, one who has occupied the highest position in its gift- definitely states that he acted on the written instructions of the department. I submit that it is time we saw the bottom, and the under bottom, of the whole affair, and it seems to me that the Government should lay on the Table all the documents bearing on this case, so that we can investigate the matter fully and call to account during this session the people responsible, and not wait, as they did last year, until the last day of the session before producing the evidence.
Mr. D. D. McrvENZIE: I do not mink that the Government should get off lightly on this transaction. I have facing me on the front benches of the Government four distinguished members of the Bar, and this is a legal question. I am surprised that when proceedings in the Exchequer Court and in the Supreme Court of Canada are under fire my good friend the Minister of Railways (Mr. J. D. Reid) is put forth as the chief bluffer. I do not always agree with the judgment of the leader of the Government, but on this occasion, in putting forth the Minister of Railways in a case of this character his judgment was of the very first order. The Minister of Railways started out bold and aggressive as usual, which is the first essential of a bluffer, but it fell through, Mr. Speaker, it was not half as effective as I thought it was going to be. we are now down to the rock bottom of this business, and the Government must give an account to this House and to the country as to how it is that some $250,000 of public money was almost paid, tne judgment of one court delivered and almost the judgment of another, until the court itself stopped making it obligatory on the people to pay out this sum of money.
What should the Government have done about this case? I was never a minister, and possibly I never shall be, but I know what the procedure is in matters of this kind. When the Government wants land it is supposed to send a competent Government surveyor to inspect the site, make a plan of the land required and report on its value. In this case we find that after the matter has gone through the courts and we have almost paid $250,000, it is dis-

covered that it is only a quarter of the land that they want. Is that good business, is that the kind of procedure that this Government will countenance? They never even procured an estimate of the value oi the land. Having obtained a report and valuation the department should have tendered the money to the owner of the land. Was that done in this case? The Minister of Railways said to-night that he went on the ground as a casual observer, that he was merely acting on behalf of some other minister, that he considered it was ridiculous to pay the sum of money that had been suggested. The department should have obtained a valuation of the land, tendered the owner the amount of the valuation, and if he refused to take the amount he could go to the Exchequer Court at his own risk, for if the Exchequer Court found the property was not worth any more than the amount tendered, he would have to pay the cost of the proceedings. That is the way this business should have been carried through.
L submit, that there was the greatest possible bungling and negligence in this transaction, from start to finish that ever came before this House, and that this attempt to bluff it off is something not worthy of consideration. I think it is hardly fair to the lawyer who acted in the case, who was not instructed fully as to the facts, and who was evidently made a scapegoat to allow this business to go through to answer some sinister motive that evidently some speculator in touch with partisan authority had in mind in the whole transaction. There is not a word of evidence here from the Government that the lawyer concerned ever had the proper data put in his hands, and I submit that it is hardly fair to him to hold him responsible for the whole business, when the Government itself and those responsible were derelict.
It seems to me, Sir, that we are very much indebted to the honourable member who has brought this matter to the notice of the House, and I do hope that even at this late day the Government knows how much of this land it wants, and that it will have a proper appraisement made of its worth, and will tender the money to the owner and let him take the responsibility of disputing the value in the Exchequer Court. The whole transaction is something that the responsible department should apologize for.


William Thomas White: Mr. Speaker, I am sorry that
the Acting Minister of Justice is not in his
seat to-night. He was not aware that this* Order would be called this evening and he went home some little time ago. I asked the Minister of Railways,-who, as he stated, was at times Acting Minister of Public Works,-to make inquiry of the Deputy Minister of that department with a view to having some information laid before the House to answer the question of my honourable friend.
Personally I know nothing of the transaction. So far as the Government is concerned we are willing that the correspondence called for shall be brought down. Untd the documents are brought down it is rather futile to discuss the matter in the House, because we should have assertion on one hand and counter-assertion on the other, and we should. make no progress toward elucidation of the facts. From the discussion to-night, however, two or three matters seem to me to stand out.
It is stated by the mover of the resolution (Mr. Lemieux), and by the hon. member (Mr. Vien) who has spoken in support of it, that the counsel engaged by the Department of Justice to represent the Crown in the expropriation proceedings before the Exchequer Court is a man of eminent legal ability. That in itself would appear to be conclusive proof that the Government was not, as stated by the leader of the Opposition (Mr. McKenzie) negligent with respect to the proceeding. In a proceeding of importance involving the expropriation of property of considerable value the most important matter is the selection of counsel, and by the admission of those who are making these charges-for they are charges in effect-against the Government here tonight, the counsel selected was a man of high standing at the bar. Before the court of first instance, the trial court, the presentation of matters of fact is of supreme importance because it is upon the evidence adduced there that the court reaches its conclusion, after hearing the witnesses and observing their demeanour, as to the value of the property expropriated. The principal thing in litigation affecting property by expropriation is the decision of the first court, because a court of appeal will not lightly set aside the decision of the court which has heard the evidence, seen the witnesses and reached a conclusion on the facts adduced before it. Nothing is put forward here to suggest that the counsel selected was not a man of standing before the courts of Quebec; on the contrary, he has been vouched for by the two hon. gentlemen opposite who have spoken.



The Minister of Railways (Mr. J. D. Reid) has said that he saw the property in question before or about the time that the expropriation proceedings were had. He was of the view that it was not worth more than $18,000. He could not well know what the court would determine it was worth; therefore his view of the transaction at that time would be in accordance with his judgment as to what the value of the property was. The St. Charles works were projected in 1012 upon a larger scale than that upon which they have been or will be carried on. One can conceive ol a piece of property, not regarded as of great value, being expropriated in connection with a larger project and the conclusion being reached, upon that project being reduced, that a part of the property might be abandoned, as the Minister of Railways said to-night. It has been suggested by the member for Lotbiniere (Mr. Vien) that the Minister of Justice misled the House. I am sure he would not say that the Minister of Justice intentionally misled the House. Tire Minister of Justice made a statement which I am certain he made in all good faith, and if it is In fact an error-I do not pronounce upon that, as I do not know the facts-I am ;ure that it was made by inadvertence. He was speaking of an appeal from the Exchequer Court judgment to the Supreme Court. Now it has been stated that a new Irial has been granted at the instance of the Department of Justice. That new trial was sought, no doubt, on the ground of the judgment that was rendered by the Exchequer Court and which was on appeal before the Supreme Court. If a new trial has been granted, as stated, and if three ' quarters of the property has been abandoned, it seems to me, looking at the entire transaction in the light of what I have said, that there is nothing to call for any particular censure of the Government. Eminent counsel selected; judgment given; appeal had to the Supreme Court; new trial asked and granted; the project as originally conceived reduced; three-quarters of the property taken abandoned, one-quarter only retained; issue now as to the value of that one-quarter. That seems to be the position of the transaction at present. As I stated at the outset, the Government will be very glad to bring down the papers, and until they are brought down I do not think the House can reach any ust conclusion with regard to the transaction or as to allegations made by hon. gentlemen opposite with regard to it.


Rodolphe Lemieux: If the facts were as argued by the Acting Prime Minister (Sir Thomas White), the. case would not be very good, though it would still have a leg to stand upon. But I am afraid that the case is not exactly as he would like it to be. As it stands, the case is as follows: The Government of Canada decides to build a dam on the river St. Charles, and has to expropriate some land in order to do so. I am credibly informed that the two lots in question are below the dam, not above the dam; therefore they are not at all affected by the dam. That is the first information I get. Moreover, many speculators are involved in this case; there is an Ethiopian in the pile. I am informed that this man Belanger is only a prete-nom -a name borrowed lr others. First of all, there is a petition of right, and action is taken before the Exchequer Court, and expropriation proceedings are had. Does it not strike you that there is something radically wrong with this business? For a property for which the owner is supposed to have paid $18,000, the judge, according to his own words, reluctantly grants $237,000. No expert appraisers are called; the judge is helpless; he looks around; who is going to enlighten him? The Department of Justice should have keen to that. Think of the enormity of the case! Here is a man claiming $800,000 for a property that cost him $18,000, and which had not produced enough revenue to pay the taxes during a period of twenty years. There is something" strikingly strange about that. The judge after having heard the witnesses, with the acquiescence of the counsel representing the Government, renders judgment. An appeal is taken by the Department of Justice. The interests of the Crown are again confided to this same counsel. Now I hope that when the papers are filed, the letter of protest written by Mr. Bernier, K.C., will be filed with them because he declares most emphatically that he received his instructions from the Department of Justice to appeal only from the smaller amount, the 10 per cent, and not from the larger amount, $225,000. At all events no case is filed in the Supreme Court in tvhich His Majesty the King is involved without the Minister or Deputy Minister of Justice surveying the whole case. How does it happen that this factum was filed with this declaration on behalf of the Grown?
By the judgment of the Exchequer Court rendered on the 28th day of June, 1917, the Court held that the respondent had proven his title and was entitled to reoover the value of the land expropriated from him by the appellant.

Prom this part of -the Judgment of the Exchequer Court the appellant does'not appeal.
The appellant is His Majesty the King, represented by the Minister of Justice or by the Deputy Minister of Justice. I had the honour of being Solicitor General of Canada for two years and I know, and everybody knows, that no document issues from the Department of Justice for any of the courts, whether it be the Exchequer Court, the Supreme Court, or any other, without first being surveyed and passed on by the Minister of Justice or at least by the very able Deputy Minister of Justice, Mr. Newcombe.
My hon. friend says that the honour of the counsel is not questioned. It is not. It has never been questioned by me or by anybody else; but I say to the Government that there is something very mysterious in the whole proceeding; there is something very mysterious which must be clarified by the Government. The Minister of Railways and Canals says that a new trial has been ordered. How does he know?


John Dowsley Reid: I inquired over the
telephone from the Deputy Minister of Public Works-the Minister of Public Works was away-and the information I have given to the House is what I got from him over the telephone just a few moments ago.
Mr. jLEMIEUX : I am sorry, but I think my hon. friend has been misinformed, not intentionally so, by the Deputy Minister of Public Works. My hon. friend should have inquired from the Deputy Minister of Justice, because the case is conducted by the Department of Justice, and not by the Department of Public Works. I am informed by some one who was present at the Supreme Court a few weeks ago when this same case was argued-argued, if 1 mistake not, by Mr. Chrysler, K.C., the very eminent counsel from Ottawa-that Mr. Chrysler took no different stand from that taken by Mr. Bernier; he argued from the same evidence, from the same factum, and
there was no change in the procedure. The case is now en delibere by the Supreme Court and I am very much surprised at the information the minister has just given.


John Dowsley Reid: The Deputy Minister
of Public Works tells me the Supreme Court has granted a new trial.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I have followed the proceedings of the Supreme Court for the last few days and have read some of the judgments, but I am not aware that the Supreme Court has granted judgment in this case. But if it has, well and good. If a new trial has been granted, well and good. A new trial will be highly gratifying to me, and I am pleased to learn that the Government has at last awakened to the enormity of this claim. I am glad the Government has reduced by 75 per cent the acreage required for the damming of the river St. Charles, and I can assure my hon. friend that when this case comes up, if a new trial has been granted, the Government's counsel may obtain from the provincial revenue officers in Quebec the clearest possible evidence that this property is worth just a few hundred dollars. My hon. friend seemed a little excited when he spoke a few moments ago, but he should not have been excited. He should have thanked me for bringing this matter before the House. I brought it up last year on two occasions without any result. I could get no information then; but to-night I learn that a new trial has been asked for by the Department of Public Works and has been granted by the Court, and that the department will not require more than 25 per cent of the two lots. Well, I think that is a success, and under the circumstances my motion should pass unanimously and with cheers.
