Harris, Mitchell Thomas Scott, Cromarty Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Fraser, Exeter Solicitor^ Gladman & Cochrane, Exeter In speaking noon may I first be permitted to express my appreciation to those who have made possible .this re­ port from Parliament Hill as a commuity service. It is my hope that you who are listening this afternoon can gain in a small way, a picture of the activities at your Capital City, , To one such as myself, to whom the procedures and prac­ tises of Parliament are so new, the impressions created in the beginning are difficult to de­ scribe. The complexities involved in coordinating the problems of a nation in a fashion to permit them being handled by a demo­ cratic process of parliament, seem at first almost unsurmountable. It is not until one realizes that the procedures which have been envolved through designed for just that one be able tern take shape, passes 'brings added what, at the beginning, to be only confusion. Canada today occupies a posi­ tion far removed from that which it knew at the time of Confed­ eration some eighty-two years ago. Ottawa, its Capital,' now plays host to the great of many nations. During the past fort­ night, for instance, four foreign secretaries were here officially, not only to pay their respects, but to discuss affairs of state, including those of Italy, Belgium, France and Mr. Ernest Bevin of Britain. Next week the Prime Minister of India will visit .Ot­ tawa. Ottawa as the Capital of a country has always had promin­ ent visitors, but it is only in the last decade that so many persons directing the affairs of their nations and renowned in world, councils have come to Ottawa, not only to pay courtesy calls but to transact business and to consult with Canadian leaders. The reason is that Canada has become vastly more important among the nations of the world, that statesmen are personally dealing directly with each .other, and that our ministers and of­ ficials in Ottawa are valued as representatives of an influential people and for their assistance in international consultations. The session thus far has been concerned to a considerable ex­ tent, with constitutional matters ' Which arose- coincident with the growth of the Nation to an out­ standing world power. This has resulted in much of the discus­ sions being of a legal nature, which does not produce that general interest that so frequent­ ly features» sessions of parlia­ ment.* , The constitutional changes en­ visaged in the legislation involve no redistribution of powers be­ tween the national and provincial governments that would in way add or subtract from powers of the provinces. What has been proposed Mr. St. Laurent is that (1) peals to the Privy Council should be abolished, 12) the Parliament should in matter concern, i should meet government to devise of malcini their 'provinces have conference to protect their c , by devising a amending the as happens. from time their interests require an amend­ ment. The question is one which has received the consideration of parliaments over many years and the desirability of the proposals has been agreed to by all parties. ■ There has been, however, some argument as to the that is to be followed ing about the changes. However, of interest, farmers of resolution Minister of Agriculture, James G. Gardiner, to _ for compensation to the owners of cattle which, as the result of T. B, tests, were fund to be Te­ ar ters and were sent to the tank. The terms of the measure pro­ vide that it will be reroactive to April 1, 1947. There will be general agreement with the re­ solution which, it will he re­ called, was originally* forecast by Mr. Gardiner last winter, in that it provides compensation to the owners of livestock who through no fault of their own, are placed in the position of sacrificing valuable stock. This is particularly true since it is unreasonable to expect individual farmers al suffer a loss when as a result of that loss the com­ munity as a whole benefits through the elimination of tuber­ culosis in the herds of the dis­ trict. Another from the land, to vince of in which ing that and participate in the delibera­ tions of the House, It has been their task, which they have car­ ried out in admirable fashion, to indicate to Canadians everywhere the extent to which Newfound­ land can contribute to Canada the years, were such a purpose, to see the pat- Each day that light on appeared He Works For will have learned the. de- I „S any the past two years a severe heart at- conclusion may I remind that the fourth series of new Pro­ unknown its areas the new Phone: Office 24 Res. 162J Exeter, Ont. “Sign your name right Riding of Huron-Perth, it been a distinct pleasure for this afternoon to have had opportunity of discussing “Well, now, Suh, I ain’t never had no ‘cassion to sign my name.

Virtually an country, in many of the potential value of province to Canada cannot as yet be estimated. It is known, how­ ever, that the Province is rich in natural resources requiring only development. The grandeur of its scenery and the plentitude of its game and fish assure for a bright future insofar as the tourist is concerned. The dis­ cussions are particularly interest- to one who has travelled in New­ foundland and who has seen to a limited extent, the conditions there. Since these remarks are being transcribed prior to the delivery of the budget address Thursday evening by the Minister of Fin­ ance, it will' n°t be possible to discuss what may he contained in his remarks, In a sense the budget to be presented is that which was introduced originally last Parliament. While the pro­ visions of that budget have been in effect in the interval the pro­ roguing of Parliament prevented its adoption. It is not expected therefore that there will be many changes, ou by this time, in any case, tails. In you Canada Savings Bonds are now on sale, with every indication pointing to an enthusiastic re­ sponse by the public. The bonds are well named for "they are truly a helpful and effective savings device. And savings, of course, give stability to the in­ dividual and to the community. Most .people are well aware of the importance of a financial re­ serve, a tidy sum set aside “for a rainy day”. Most people, too, knd.w that the easiest and best way to acquire such an asset is by regular saving, by putting even a small amount away every week or every month. There is little or no quarrel with that theory. But there is quite, a dif­ ference between theory and prac­ tice. Canada Savings Bonds pro­ vide the answer, A Canada Savings Bond is a worthwhile asset. It is an interest-bearing bond and it is backed by the Government of Canada, which means that is has durable secur­ ity. What could be sounder than that? As the Member of Parliament representing all the citizens of the has me the with you for a few monents some of the aspects of your Dominion Parliament. I thank you.
