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.
