In The Legislature
(By Tom Pryde, M,P,P.)
Before this article appears in the
press, the 4th Session of the 24th
Legislature will be :prorogued.
The current session has been of
normal length, about 8 weeks and a
total of 141 Bills have been dealt
with. A great many of these Bills
were amendments to existing legis-
lation which, experience has proved,
were not workable in practice, or
new conditions had arisen in the
meantime. Some of these amend -
meets were of a trivial nature and
needed only a change in the wording
of the Acta However, they are all re-
quired to go through the same rou-
tine as a new Bill.
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.
The second last section usually
states that the Bill will ,come into
force the day it receives Royal As-
sent, or on Proclamation by the
Lieutenant Governor in Council.
The latter indicates that regulations
have to be drawn to properly ad-
minister the Act and until that is
done it would not be possible to en-
force it. In this case a Proclamation
is issued en the authority of the
Cabinet and the matter is then the
law of the Province.
This Session has been notable for
the unusual amount of Committee
work. Every morning, every day of
the present Session Committees have
met and studied a variety of sub-
jects. It is safe to say that the aver-
age member has received more in-
formation about the working of the
different branches of the govern-
ment tban ever before.
The estimates of expenditures of
every Department for the current
year are most important. Each Min-
ister introduces his estimates by a
lengthy report on the work of his
Department, and this is followed by
a detailed cheek of each item. All
members are free to asst questions on
every item and of course the Oppo-
sition has this opportunity to ques-
tion the Minister regarding how the
money to be approved will be spent.
This has occupied the time of the
House for more than a week and
will continue until about the last day.
Many temporary employees are en-
gaged for work in connection with
the Session. There are probably 30
in all. They act as attendants in the
galleries and cloakrooms and per-
form a variety of duties only neces-
sary while the House is in Session.
These are mostly elderly men who
have retired 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, 3. 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 cer-
tain officials are permitted on the
floor of the House. For this reason,
the Page Boys ran all the errands
which may be required.
They are usually smart, -intelli-
gent and active little lads and are
dressed in Oxford suits, with white
collars and black ties. A supervisor
is in charge and sees that they are
always well groomed and attentive
to their duties. During the session
they receive special instruction on
Saturdays and at other times, but
now they return to their studies at
school.
During the Session many groups
of school children visit the Buildings
and sit in the gallery to listen to the
proceedings. Other visiting groups
are on hand from day to day and it
is customary for the attendant or
guide to inform, the Members from
the constitiuency to which they be-
long so that he will have an oppor-
tunity to meet them.
As our county is quite some dis-
tance from Toronto more of our
people visit Toronto later in the
year when the weather is more fa-
vorable. It is always a privilege for
a Member to be informed 'elm a
group intends to visit the buildings.
He can then snake arrangements for
a ;guide, etc. well in advance. Your
Member is always at the service of
his constituents in this respect and
sincerely hopes that school groups
and Young People's will visit the
Parliament Buildings and learn more
of how our have are made and how
Government functions.
The final act of a Session is when
the Lieutenant Governor enters the
Chamber as the representative pf
H. M. the Queen and gives Royal
Assent to the Bills which have been
passed and which are read by the
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 Legis-
lature. Obviously, many other sub-
jects have been dealt with upon
which I could .comment, but I also
have in mind that. our newspapers
do not have unlimited space.
My sincere thanks is hereby ex-
tended to the Editor for the courtesy
extended in publishing these rather
unrelated articles and I do hope they
may have been of some interest to
the readers.
