Huron MP Reports to Riding
As Parliament recessed on
July 15, I would like to mention
a few of the highlights that
have taken place at this first
sitting of the 27th Parliament.
Parliament has given full
legislative sanction to 43 bills,
plus a further seven appropri-
ation bills. In addition to these
items which have been fully
completed, the House has dealt
with the introductory stage of
15 more bills, several of which.
are undergoing detailed study
by standing committees of the
House.
We have spent a total of 47
days dealing with supply. Ap-
proximately 30 of the 47 days
were spent in discussing the
old estimates for the year
1965.66. We have completed
three of the four supply mo-
tions respecting this year's
spending, and we have spent
12'12 days on this year's esti-
mates or on interim supply. In
this time we have completed
consideration of the estimates of
10 departments of government
and nine other departments are
now available to the House for
final disposition following a
study by standing committees.
The committee work in Par-
Iiament was greatly increased
at this session. Twenty-seven
committees were established,
and to date they have held a
total of 349 meetings. With
such a committee structure; the
detailed operation of govern-
ment departments has never
before been examined so fully,
as Members can ask questions
of department officials in a
more relaxed atmosphere, and
the debating time for these esti-
mates in the House itself is
shortened considerably and al-
lows for more to be accom-
plished.
I would like to mention some
of the more important pieces
of legislation that have been
passed. We passed an Act to
amend the Hours of Labor and
Fair Wages Act for Federal
Government contracts. An Act
was passed to incorporate a new
bank in Edmonton, called th
Bank of Western Canada. Th
change in the electoral boun
dories has been completed and
as most people realize, Huro
now includes the townships o
Turnberry and Howick, th
town of Wingham, and also th
townships of McGillivray an
Biddulph, including the town
of Ailsa Craig and Lucan. Hib
bort Township, which has bee
a part of Huron constituency
will now revert to Perth Coun
ty. These new boundaries wil
take effect upon announcemen
of the next election.
There has been .legislatio
passed to help provide for th
development of •commercia
fisheries in Canada, We hav
established a fund for the eco
nomic and social developmen
of special rural developmen
areas.
Something that has bee
needed for some time in thi
country was passed in th
Amendment to the Combine
Investigation Act and Crimina
Code. The Bankruptcy Act ha
been amended to make it les
possible for fraudulent bank
ruptcies to occur. For the pur
pose of the re-training of per
sons under the Technical an
Vocational Training Program,
fund has been established t
provide allowances while these
persons are being re-trained.
The Public Service Superan
nuation Act, and Canadian
Forces Superannuation Act, the
Defence Services Pension Con
tinuation Act, the Royal Cana
dian Mounted Police Superan
nuation Act, the Diplomatic
Service (Special) Superannua-
tion Act, the Intercolonial and
Prince Edward Island Railways
Employees' Provident Fund Act
and the Canadian Corporation
for the 1967 World Exhibition
Act — all these have been
amended.
The corporation to establish
the National Arts Centre has
been set up, and the Students'
Loans Act has •been amended
to provide more loans for stu-
dents.
Arrangements have been
made for the establishment of
a Health Resources Fund to
assist provinces in the acquisi-
tion, construction and renova-
tion of health training facilities
and research institutes.
The government has provided
for the establishment of a Dairy
Commission for Canada which
should eventually control all
dairy product operations.
The Canada Assistance Plan
has been set up to authorize the
making of contributions by Can-
ada towards the cost of pro-
grams undertaken by the prov-
inces for the provision of assis-
tance and welfare services in
respect of persons in need.
The Crop Insurance Act has
been amended to assist the
farmer in obtaining ,crop insur-
ance through the provinces by
raising the Federal Govern -

VILLAGE OF ZURICH
NOTICE
The Council of the Village of Zurich has endorsed the
following changes es recommended by the Department of
Highways, and
Regulations Will Be Enforced
Re: Intersection of Highway 84
and Huron County Road 2
1. Move the stop signs closer to the edge of the travelled
portion of the County Road.
2. Relocate the "No Parking Signs" on Highway 84 and
on Goshen Street as shown on the plan to provide better
visibility for the motorists at the stop position on Goshen
Street,
3. Relocate the existing County Road identification signs
on Highway 84 to a position at least 50 feet in advance
of Goshen Street to provide advanced warning for mo-
torists on Highway 84 who wish to turn.
4. Replace the existing "STOP 750 l+EET" signs with ones
reading "STOP 500 ET" since the existing signs are
too far iFEET"
advance of the stop sign for an urban location,
5. Minor alterations in the pavement markings at this
location in order to improve traffic control,
elausakertavaaie
ment's 'payment from 20% to
25% of the total premium re-
quired.
These are some of the more
important pieces of legislation
that will affect the people of
our part of the country.
The program for providing
for increased Old Age Pensions
has only been passed in resolu-
tion stage, and will not come
before Parliament until the fall
term, when its terms will be an-
nounced. This is also true of
the government's plans for com-
pulsory Medicare for all citi-
zens.1 The Bank Act also stands
at this stage of legislation, In
this Act we believe that it is
the government's intention to
lift the ceiling on interest
charged by the bank by 1%,
and later on remove it entirely.
We had a debate and vote on
capital punishment, and Parlia-
ment voted to retain capital
punishment in Canada.
A tremendous project of the
government for next year is
the Centennial Exposition being
held in Montreal. This is a vast
project, and certainly as many
Canadians as possible should
visit it during 1967.
Many other eventful things
have happened which required
Parliament's debate and partic-
ipation, but most of these events
have been well covered in news
reports throughout the session.
I have tried here to bring to
the people of Huron Riding
some of the things that may
not have been covered fully in
news reports.
