Mr. Speaker reported, That when the House did attend His Excellency the
Governor General this day in the Senate Chamber, His Excellency was pleased
to make a speech to both Houses of Parliament, and to prevent mistakes, he
had obtained a copy which he read to the House as follows:--
Honorable Members o] the Sende:
Mcnbers o] the Hoarse of Commons:
I welcome you at a time when our country stands upon the threshold of a
new era of prosperity. It will be for you, by your labours, to throw wide the
door.
During the past year the grip of hard times has been broken. Conditions
show marked iml)r(wement. Employment is increasing. Our trade is expanding.
The national revenues are higher. These evidences of recovery attest the wisdom
and effiegey of the measures you have taken. In these improved conditions,
there may now successfully be carried forward those great tasks of reform upon
which the well-heing of this country depends.
In the anxious years through which you have passed, you have been the
witnesses of grave defects and abuses in t'he capitalist system. Unenployment
and want are the proof of these. Great changes are taking place about us. :New
conditions prevail. These require modifications in the capitalist system to enable
that system more effectively to serve the people. Reform measures will there-
fore be submitted to you as part of a comprehensive plan designed to remedy
the social and economic injustices now prevailing, and to ensure to all classes and
to all parts of the country a greater degree of equality in the distribution of the
benefits of the capitalist sysem.
Upon this plan you have nmde a beginning.
leform measures approved hy you at the last session of Parliament are
already in successful operation. I observe with especial gratification the manner
in which the Natural Products Marketing Act and the Farmers' Creditors
Arrangement Act are already ser-ing the great and urgent needs of agriculture
and other prinmry indu.tries. You will be invited to consider amendments to
these Acts which will extend the sphere of their useflflness. The organization
of the Bank of Canada is nearing completion, and it will commence operations
at an early date. My Ministers are convinced of the value of this institution as
an instrument of national policy to direct the better utilization of the credit
resources of Canada.
Legislation enacted at the last session of Parliament respecting the metallic
coverage of our note issue and the initiation of the public works program have
eased credit conditions and stimulated business enterprise.
Better provision will be made for the security of the worker during unem-
ployment, in sickness, and in old age.
T.he measures taken respecting public and private debts have done nmch
to lighten the burden of the tax-payer and to improve the position of the farm-
ing community, hly Ministers are now engaged upon a survey of the national
debt structure to determine what action may be practicable and advisable to
effect further improvement in it.
You will be invited to enact legislation to extend existing facilities for long
term and intermediate credit.
During the past year, wider markets for our products have been secured.
A supplementary Trade Agreement. has been negotiated with the Republic of
France. The Trade Agreement with Austria has been renewed. -Negotiations
with t, he Govermnent of Poland, which it is hoped will lead to the conclusion of
a comprehensive commercial convention, are in progress. It is the policy of
my Ministers to pursue vigorously every opportunity by which our world trade
may be increased. The policy of my Government of consolidating and expanding
Empire markets will be vigorously pursued.

Mr. Veniot, seconded i)y Mr. Duff, moved,--Whereas the deep-sea fisher-
men of the Atlantic Coast, and especially those in the Northumberland Straits,
the Bate dc Chaleur and Gulf of St. Lawrence, arc seriously hampered in their
work by lack of means of obtaining an adequatc and seasonal SUl)ply of bait,
especially for the cod fishing branch of the industry;
And whereas it is beyond the means of private initiative to provide the
nccessary facilities for the procuring and distribution of such bait, as well as
its conservation.
And whereas thc establishment of su('h facilities at central points would
greatly enhance the importance of the fishing industry by an increased catch;
And whereas such increase in (he industry wouhl provide work for a very
large number of fishermen who arc now idle because of the difficulty in securing
bait ;
Therefore l,c it Rcsolved,--That. iu the opinion of this tlousc, it is exl)cdient
that the (lovernment shouhl take into immediate cmsideration the establish-
men/, at important centrcs of a numl)er of refrigerator plants of such dimensions
as thc l)el)arimcnt of Fisheries may consider adequate to mcct the needs of
the industry, and n( lhe same time give consideration t) lhe best method of

OF THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS
OF CANADA
OTTAWA, MONDAY, 1ST APRIL, 1935
PRAYERS.
Mr. Turnbull, from the Standing Committee on Industrial and International
Relations, presentcd the Second Report of the said Committee, which is as
follows:--
Your Committee have hcld two sessions and have heard statements from
eleven persons, with respect to the sub.iect nmtter of the Resolution referred to
it for consideration under an Order of the House of Commons, dated January 31st,
1935, which resolution reads as follows:--
" Resolved that in the opinion of this House the provisions of the Old Age
Pensions Act should apply to blind people over forty years of age."
As persons seventy years of age and over, whether blind or not, fall within
the application of the Old Age Pensions Act in its present form, your Committee
considered the position of blind persons between the ages of forty and seventy.
Evidence submitted to the COlnlnittee indicated that the Old Age Pensions
Act is in force in only seven provinces out of nine and its provisions, therefore,
when amended will not affect blind persons living in the remaining two provinces
unless these provinces subsequently adopt the Old Age Pensions Act or the pro-
posed amendments thereto.
It also indicated that records of organizations interested in the blind placed
the number of the blind between forty and seventy years of age at 3,016. After
making fair deductions it was stated that 2,178 persons would be affected by
legislation requested by the said resolution. These figures are sufficiently in
harmony with census returns to be considered reasonably accurate.
The estimated expenditure occasioned by the proposed legislation, if the
above figures are accurate and allowing the maximum of $240 per person per
annum, would be under $550,000 apart from administration expenses.
The Committee regrets that the terms of the resolution, if acceded to, will
be of no assistance to blind persons residing in the two provinces of Canada
A.D. 1935 MONDAY, 1ST APRIL, 1935 299

debt are inevitable conditions within the country, and
Whereas the real and potential wealth of the nation, based upon our natural
resources and our capacity to produce, is such as to make possible an abundant
provision for all the requirements of our people;
Therefore this House is of the opinion that the Government should take
immediate action to insure the fullest and most equitable distribution possible
of our socially-created wealth and that, as a first step in this direction, the
measures which may be necessary to meet the pressing needs of the farmers and
the unemployed should be financed by the social credit of Canada, thus avoiding
a further increase in the debt burden of the country."

The Toronto Housing Company Limited, 1912, was formed by a joint com-
mittee representing the municipality, the Board of Trade, the Manufacturers
Association and the Civic Guild of the City of Toronto for the purpose of pro-
viding workingmen with suitable dwellings at moderate rentals.
A brief from the National Construction Council of Canada sets forth:
"Domestic building touches the lives of our people daily. There is almost
prima facie evidence that housing is entitled to sone guidance from the State.
There is a demand that something be done in regard to raising housing standards
particularly for groups of wage earners who receive the least for their service."
In the report on housing and shnn clearance for Montreal, made by a joint
committee of the Montreal Board of Trade and the Civic Improvement League,
under the joint chairmanship of Professor Percy E. Nobbs and Mr. Guy Tombs,
it is stated: "As far as Montreal is concerned a government aided program of
housing is long overdue; and that this is a nmtter fundamentally independent of
the depression though aggravated by it."
In a report on housing conditions in Toronto made by a committee under
the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor Bruce, it is stated: "It should be
urged on the Dominion Government particularly that no public works grants
arc so urgently needed as those for the rehousing of the poorest members of the

are expressive of views which sh.uhi guide the fm'mulation of a housing pliey
for ('anada.
('tN'STRt t'TION ( XEXV IIwsFs
From the evidence submitted it nppears that the hasie housing shortage lies
in tho needs of the low wae earner for whom the minimum of health aml amenity
should be provided on a basis of rental within his capacity to pay.
T, meet thi requirement, such housing musI provide pr,,teetion from the
weatl,lr, adequate lighting aml ventilati.n, be eap:tble of being properly heate, t
he equipped with sanitary conveniences an, l draina<e and be furnished with
such facilities :ts make the amenities of family life sufficient, convenient and
hygienic.
The minimum :tee,mmodation possible to meet such normal family require-
merits involves ,Iwellin units havin three hedropms, livinroom-kitehen and
bathroom, which accommodation meets the basle requirements of parents, and
ehihh'en ,ff both sexe. I.esser aecommodalion would, of course, he ample xxhere
the family unit does not involve ehihh'en.
Evidence has been submittel that (;overnment :tiled house Imihling can
only be provided economically hv mass production, that is. by Imildin a great
many houses at one time; that. n order to obtain low unit cost. they shouhl be
built in accordance with established sound town lfi:tnning theories governing
their accessibility, accommodation, site disposition, their numler to the acre,
selective occupancy aml the zonin of housing areas to effect stabilization of
the beneficial e.nditions obtained and the values investe, I.
The provision of houses, whether involving individual ownership or group
dwellings for rent. if to be considered trader any form of Government assistance,
positively demands the necessity of their eonstrneti,m an, l maintenance under
strict control and in keeping with definitely prescribed minimum standards of
construction, accommodation and amenities.

The annual meeting of this company was held on February 25, 1935, and

of the petition was delayed.

Delay in filing the petition was occasioned by the default of the solicitor

supplied to him by her for that purpose, and the time required by the petitioner,
who is a waitress in a care at small wages, to acquire sufficient moneys to replace
the moneys so lost.

petition.

598 HOUSE OF COMMONS 26 GEORGE V
be secured to amend our constitution in Canada this Province respect-
fully declines to make submission to your Committee, neither will it feel
bound by any report, which may be made by your Committee." Signed
by T. D. Pattullo.
In no case did the authorities of these Provinces signify any desire to
present their views to your Committee, either in writing or orally.
The Committee recognizes that there is a divergence of opinion with respect
to tile question of whether or not the British 1X'orth America Act is a statutory
recognition of a compact among tile four original provinces of the Dominion
and as to tile necessity or otherwise of provincial concurrence in amendments.
Without expres.ing any opinion upon that question, tile Committee feel that in
the present case and at. the present time it. is advisable in the interest of harmony
and unity that there should be eonsultatin with the Provinces with respect to
the adoption of a definite mode of amendment or the enactment of amending
legislation which might seriously alter the legislative jurisdiction of the Provinces
aad the Dominion.
Many interesting suggestions were made. Dr. Kennedy, Professor of Law at
Toronto University, suggested that a Royal Commission should bc appointed
to study the workings of the Act, with a view to recommending a rearrange-
mcnt of powers if thought necessary.
Dr. Ollivier, K.C., LL.D., Joint Law Clerk of the House of Commons, sug-
gested that :
{a} Obsolete sections should be dropped.
lbl Certain sections should be subject o amendment without consultation
of tile Provinces.
(c) Certain sections should bc amended only with the concurrence of a
majority of the Provinces.
{d} Certain sections might be amended with the consent of one Province
only.
(e) Other sections should be amended only on consent, of all the Provinces.
Dr. Scott, Professor of Civil Law at McGill University, expressed the view
that as the Dominion Parliament represented tile population of the Provinces,
ordinary amendments should be made upon a majority vote of both Houses
and amendments affecting minority rights should be approved in addition by
all Provincial Legislatures, in order to become Law.
Professor Rogers, Professor of Political Science at Queens University, sug-
gested that a Dominion-Provincial Conference or a National Convention might
appoint a Committee to draft an amended constitution to be thereafter approved
by tile Conference or Convention and subsequently by the Dominion and Pro-
vincial Legislatures. Hc was of the opinion that the question of consulting the
Provinces was a matter of political expediency rather than one of legal right.
Dr. Beauehesne, C.M.G., K.C., LL.D., Clerk of tile House of Commons,
would have a new Constitution drafted by a constituent assembly composed of
delegates representing the various Provinces and the Dominion, made up of
all classes of people. The Constitution so drafted would be thereafter adopted
by the Dominion and the Provinces, approved by the King, and the present
Act thereupon repealed.
The Committee recognizes the urgent necessity for prompt consideration
of amendments to the British North America Act with reference to a redistribu-
tion of legislative power and to clarify the field of taxation.
It is further of opinion that the conference hereafter proposed should care-
fully consider the adoption of a recognized yet flexible method of amendment.

as a logical first step in any reconstruction program; and
Whereas: :No measure or policy has been as yet enacted or proposed by
either maior party in this House by way of dealing in an effective manner with
tile foregoing situation; and

over the public credit of Canada with a view to:-

rain an equitable level of purchasing power and prices, thus avoiding the
alternate evils of inflation and deflation.
And further be it resolved: That this Parliament recognize the right of every
citizen to a share in that. aeeummulated social heritage by means of which
modern production has become so efficient, and is of the opinion that t.he social
credit based upon this heritage should be drawn upon to the extent necessary
and advisable in the increase and maintenance of the standards of living in this
country, and that this may be done through the payment of annual dividends to:
All Canadians who are sixty years of age or over;
Those who are physically or mentally incapacitated; and
Those who would be entitled thereto under the terms of an effective
system of National Insurance against unemployment or crop failure, or
a :National system of Mothers' and Orphans' Allowance, or of Widows'
Pension.

ment; it was negatived.

amend The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act, 1932, assented to on the 23rd

ing the duration of the life of The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act, 1932, to

to provide that The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act, 1932, should remain in
force indefinitely, but that the amendments made by Chapter 35 of the Statutes
1932-33 to such Act should continue in force until the 31st March, 1936.

To I-II,,4 EXCELLENCY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF BESSBOROUGH, a
Member of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight Grand
Cross of The Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and St. George,
Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of the Dominion of Canada.
[AY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY:
We, His Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons
of Canada in Parliament assembled, assttre You,r Excellency of our deep and
sincere regret at the approaching termination of your official connection with
our country as the representative of His Gracious Majesty. At the same time
we hasten to add the hope that this official termination will not mean the
severance of those ties which have so lmppily been established between Your
Excellency and our country and its people.
During you term of office Your Excellency has never spared yourself in
your efforts to secure accurate and intimate knowledge of all parts of our
Dominion. You have, accordingly, gained an understanding of our problems
and our possibilities, as profound as it, has been s)mpathetic. Your assiduous
devotion to the affairs of State, and your deep and human interest in the wide-
spread activities of our people have won fo,r you the warm regard of all Cana-
dians. Your encouragement of dramatic art, an important but often neglected
aspect of our national development, will be felt for long years to come.
Your Excellency has been with us during a period of world-wide economic
depression and social strain. You have sen the effects of that depression on our
national economy. You have, however, also seen its failure to destroy our
national morale. Amidst the tribulations of economic distress, as in the stern
test of war, Canada has stood firm, and, with renewed courage and determination,
is ready again to continue her forward march.
Our expressions of regret at Your Excellency's departure would, indeed, be
incomplete if we did not associate in that regret Her Excellency, The Countess
of Bessborough, whose graciousn.ess and charm have won for her an affection
throughout Canada which is both deep and widespread.

following reason :-
That it. is regarded as a bad precedent to state in a stat.ute that anybody
can direct those who violate th.e statute to. cease or desist, for if there is a breach
to the knowledge of the Commission, it should be its duty to take appropriate
proceedings for the enforcement of the law in that regard.
The amendment at the end of line 29 in section 21 is not agreed to for the

director of prosecutions should not be an official of t,he Department of Justice,

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S SECRETARY, CANADA
OTTAWA, July 5, 1935.
SIR,--
I have the honour to inform you that His Excellency the Governor General
will proceed to the Senate Chamber to-day at 2.15 p.m. for the purpose of
proroguing the present Session of Parliament.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
F. L. C. PEREIRA,
Assistant Secretary to the Governor General.
The Honourable
The Speaker of the House of Commons,
Ottawa.
A Message was received from tile Senate informing this House that the
Senate do insist upon its first amendment to Bill No. 79, An Act to amend the
Combines Investigation Act, to which the House of Commons has disagreed,
for the following reasons:--
"That the whole intent and purpose and letter of the Combines Investi-
gation Act has to do with the restriction of trade and commerce, and the Bill
in ninny other particulars shows that it is carefully and strictly following out
that purpose. It deviated from it only in this one point. Its constitutional
justification is trade and commerce."
And that the Senate do not insist upon its third amendment to which the
House of Commons has disagreed.
714 HOUSE OF COMMONS 26 GEORGE V
On motion of Mr. Bennett it was resolved that a Message be sent to the
Senate to acquaint their Honours that this House agrees to the first amend-
ment made by the Senate to Bill No. 79, An Act to amend the Combines Investi-
gation Act, to which this House had previously disagreed.
A Message was received from the Senate informing this House that the
Senate had passed the Bill No. 98, An Act to provide for the Constitution and
Powers of the Canadian Wheat Board, with amendments which are as follows:--
1. Page 4, line 12. Leave out the words "as speedily".
2. Page 4, line 49. After "(k)" insert "with the approval of the Governor
in Council".
On motion of Mr. Bennett the amendments made bv the Senate to the Bill
No. 98, An Act to provide for the Constitution and P'owers of the Canadian
Vheat Board, were taken into consideration and severally agreed to.
The Bill No. 116, An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of
money for the public service of the financial year ending the 31st March, 1936,
was read the second time, considered in Committee of the Whole, reported
without amendment, read the third time and passed.
The Bill No. 122, An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of
money for the public service of the financial year ending the 31st March, 1936,
was read the second time, cousidered in Committee of the Whole, reported with-
out amendment, read the third time and passed.
A Message was received from the Senate informing this House that the
Senate had passed the Bill No. 105, An Act to amend the Dominion Elections
Act, 1934, without amendment.
Also,--A Message was received from the Senate returning the Bill {86),
"An Act to establish a Dominion Trade and Industry Commission," and to
acquaint this ttouse,
1} That in respect of Section 14 the Senate agrees to the insertion of the
word "unanimous" between the word "the" and the word "opinion".
2} That the Senate does not insist on the amendment made to Section 20
of the Bill, but strikes out Section 20 and substitutes therefor the following in
lieu thereof:--
"20. The Conmfission shall receive complaints respecting unfair trade prac-
tices and may investigate the same and, either before or after an investigation,
if of opinion that the practice complained of constitutes an offence against any
Dominion law prohibiting unfair trade practices, may communicate the com-
plaint and such evidence, if any, in support thereof as is in the possession of the
Conmfission to the Attorney General of Canada with a recommendation that
all persons who are parties or privies to such offence be prosecuted for violation
of the applicable Act. The Attorney General of Canada, if he concurs in such
recommendation may refer it with such complaint and such evidence, if any,
either to the Director of Public Prosecutions or to the Attorney General of the
province within which the offence is alleged to have been committed for such
action as may seem to be appropriate in the circumstances."
(3) That the Senate does not insist on its amendment at the end of Line
29 in Section 21.
(4) That the Senate does not insist on its amendment: new Section 28.
A.D. 1935 FRIDAY, 5TH JULY, 1935 715
5 That the Senate does insist on the deletion of Section 26 for the reason
that said Section contemplates a revision of Donfinion Company issues in cer-
tain cases by the Donfinion Trade and Industry Commission and that conse-
quently such Commission would require a staff of competent experts in this
special line to intelligently discharge their duties and that in this regard the
Commission would become a duplication of Provincial Commissions already
created for similar purposes and clothed with ample power to protect the public
in respect of these matters.
Further, the Senate is of opinion that tile exercise or non-exercise of the
right on tile part of the Secretary of State to have such issues reviewed, or not
have them reviewed, would be regarded by the Public as the taking of responsi-
bility by the Secretary of State for the capital structures of Companies no
natter what safeguards or precautionary provisions are inserted, and that this
is most undesirable.
On motion of Mr. Guthrie the alnendmcnts made by tile Senate to Bill No.
86, An Act to establish a Dominion Trade and Industry Commission, were taken
into consideration, and severally agreed to.
A Message was received from the Senate informing this Ilouse that the

for the public service of the financial year ending the 31st March, 1936.
A Message was received froln His Excellency the Governor General, desiring
the immediate attendance of the tIouse in the Senate Chamber.
