Legislature Report
(By Tom Pryde, MLA for Huron)
During the current session of the
Legislature, now prorogued, a total
of 141 bilis were dealt with. A
great many of these bills were
amendments' to existing legislation
which, experience has proved,
were not workable in, practice, or
new conditions had arisen in the
meantime.
It should be mentioned that
when a measure is introduced into
the Legislature it is known as a
bill. It remains so until it has
gone through :all the stages. and.
receives Royal Assent. It then
-becomes an Act.
This session has been notable for
the unusual amount of committee
work. Every day, committees met
and. studied a variety .of subjects.
The estimates of expenditures of
every department for the current
year, are most important. Each
Minister introduces his- estimates
by a lengthy report, on the work
of his department, and this is
followed by a . detailed check' of
each item. All members are free
to ask questions on every item and
of course the Opposition has this
opportunity to question the Min-
ister regarding how the money to.
be approved will be spent.
Many temporary employees are
'engaged for work in ,connection
with the session. There are prob-
ably• 30 in all. They act as attend-
ants in the galleries• and cloak
rooms and 'perform a variety of
duties only necessary while the
House is • in session. These are
mostly . elderly men who have re-
tired from their business or calling
and are still able to perform' light
duties. There are also 11 page
boys who are bright students at
school and are in grades' 6-7-8.
Their duty is to carry messages and
get papers and books required by
the Members,
It should, be pointed out, none
but -members of the Legislature and
certain officials are permitted ' on
the floor of the House. For this
reason, the page boys. run all the
errands 'which ' may be required.
During the session they receive
special instruction on Saturdays,
and at other times, but now they
return to their studies at sehool.
During the session many groups
of school children visit the Build-
ings._and .sit in the gaIlety to listen
to the . proceedings: Other visit-
ir4 ; groups are on hand from day
to day and it is customary for the
attendant or guide to. inform the
members from the constituency to
which they belong so that he will
have an opportunity to meet them.
As our county is quite some
distance from Toronto more of our
people visit Toronto later in the
year when the weather is more
favorable. It is always a privilege
for a Member to be informed when
a group intends to visit the build-
ings. He can then make arxange-
ments for a guide, etc. well in
advance.
The final act of a session is when
the Lieutenant -Governor enters
the Chamber as the representative
of The Queen and gives Royal
Assent to the ' bills ' which have
been passed 'and -which are read
by;bthe Clerk "'of the House,
When I commenced this series of
letters it was my thought that your
member should +try to keep his con-
stituents informed of at least part
of .what is taking place in the
Legislature. Obviously, many-
other
anyother subjects have been dealt with
upon . which I could comment, but
f also have in mind that our news-
paPers do not have unlimited space.
My sincere thanks -is hereby ex-
tended to the editor for the court-'
esy extended in publishing these
rather unrelated articles and I do
hope they may have been of some
interest to ?the . readers.
