The time is quite considerable. On occa- sions, 'the House and ,Senate have made more, progress 'trhnn has been made this year. The Toronto paper, now attempting to make believe, that all our problems can be solved; by signing a Iittle 'ballot, has on one of its Pages a blank! in Hansard to show that ,nothing :has been done. It would appear that it is not generally known: that the first month of each session is devoted entirely, to Private Mem- bers with very little Govern'men't busi- ness, The House of Commons is the great- est forum Canada has. It is here that members have a right to express their opinions and thews. Take that away and you no longer have a democra.tir, government. This year the debate on the Address carried on for some weeks while that gave each Member the right t& speak it ,did shut off a large number of pri- vate resolutions and bills. After the debate on the address there was then interjected the Bren gun debate. While one may not agree with the Opposition in precipitnt.ins this de- bate, certainly one woulrt fight for their right to do so. Sovie headlines have featured art- icles in the Globe regarding the cost per minute fbr the time each one speaks. The fact of the matter is that last -year the cost of the House of Commons was $979,833. Spreading that over -the year, the cost to each Canadian citizen would -be nine cents per capita. In other words; the writ- er of the articles would have to lay awake at night planning 'how to raise onfe cent every 40 days to pay his share of the cost of this House. No dkmbt, his mind would be so ab- sorbed with this problem' that he, would forget entirely that to tray fort his daily paper be would' have to raise well over one hundred times that amount in the same 'period of time. Actually, vyhile the cost per capita of the Flouse of Commons is nine cents, as average Canadian citizens, we pay well. over $5.00 per year for newspapers and magazines. Certain- ly there is no co'rfi•plaint about that from bhe Globe & Mail. Today the debate on the Trad" Treaty was carried on with unusual vigor, Mr. McLean, of Prince Ed- ward Island, led off for the. Govern- ment, and he was followed by Mr. Needham fS.C,), T. L. Church ('Cions.) Ralph Maybank (Lib.), Gordon Gray- donothers. There was, a feeling that a vote may be reached tomorrow night. 2 # Y Thursday, Feb, 23 The initial delzftc on the Tra'le Agreeurents is iwRiriil+, its end It is now thought that a. vote ,viii be tak- en oro Tuesday.

The time is quite considerable. On occa- sions, 'the House and ,Senate have made more, progress 'trhnn has been made this year. The Toronto paper, now attempting to make believe, that all our problems can be solved; by signing a Iittle 'ballot, has on one of its Pages a blank! in Hansard to show that ,nothing :has been done. It would appear that it is not generally known: that the first month of each session is devoted entirely, to Private Mem- bers with very little Govern'men't busi- ness, The House of Commons is the great- est forum Canada has. It is here that members have a right to express their opinions and thews. Take that away and you no longer have a democra.tir, government. This year the debate on the Address carried on for some weeks while that gave each Member the right t& speak it ,did shut off a large number of pri- vate resolutions and bills. After the debate on the address there was then interjected the Bren gun debate. While one may not agree with the Opposition in precipitnt.ins this de- bate, certainly one woulrt fight for their right to do so. Sovie headlines have featured art- icles in the Globe regarding the cost per minute fbr the time each one speaks. The fact of the matter is that last -year the cost of the House of Commons was $979,833. Spreading that over -the year, the cost to each Canadian citizen would -be nine cents per capita. In other words; the writ- er of the articles would have to lay awake at night planning 'how to raise onfe cent every 40 days to pay his share of the cost of this House. No dkmbt, his mind would be so ab- sorbed with this problem' that he, would forget entirely that to tray fort his daily paper be would' have to raise well over one hundred times that amount in the same 'period of time. Actually, vyhile the cost per capita of the Flouse of Commons is nine cents, as average Canadian citizens, we pay well. over $5.00 per year for newspapers and magazines. Certain- ly there is no co'rfi•plaint about that from bhe Globe & Mail. Today the debate on the Trad" Treaty was carried on with unusual vigor, Mr. McLean, of Prince Ed- ward Island, led off for the. Govern- ment, and he was followed by Mr. Needham fS.C,), T. L. Church ('Cions.) Ralph Maybank (Lib.), Gordon Gray- donothers.
