With the. exception of the bridge jobs the only remaining contract on the rail extension“to be completed is installation of a telephone line over the route. The Jamieson company has the contract for’this work and it is expected that construction will bé completed before winter.

October 27, 1951,

This Session has now been under way for two and a half wéeks but so far nothing final has been accomplish- ed. We are back in the oid position — unfortunately it seems to me — where We are not taking up one thing and following it through to its conclusion but are chopping and changing from subject to subject. Last week, for in- stance, the Government put through @ resolution providing that Mondays and Wednesdays only would be devot- ed to the Throne Speech debate ang Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays would be reserved for Government business and legislation.

Normally, the Throne Speech de- bate must be concluded and out of the way before any other business of the Session istaken up. This arises from the fact thai the Throne Speech an- siouaces Government policy and the vote on the address amounts to a vote of Gonfidence in the Government and it is the settled principle that the Gov- ernment should not embark upon its legislative progam until, at the begin; ning of each Session, it has received a vote signifyng the continuing con‘i- dence in it of the House of Commons.

1 it is a fact that the allotting/of these broken periods to this debate, and other broken periods to other sudjecis, makes it practically impossible to car- | ty on any coherent and meaningfu discussion. The Throne Speech debate to all intents and purpeses, und cer- tainly in so for as any consistent or eoncerted attack is concerned, is now dead as a door nail. Those who attrib- ute motives in this kind of thing — and there are some people who 1 attributing motives and see a motive in everything that is done — zo so far as to suggest that the Government roke up the Throne Speech debate in this way deliberately so as to blunc the edge of the mounting attack with respect to the cost of living. 1 am not a mind reader and therefore am un- able to attribute motives, but certainly if this aiteration of the normal rules had been designed to accomplish this object, it could not have been more successful. :

VETERANS

Veterans and Legion branches throughout the constituency will be particularly glad to know that ther agitation with respect to a revision of the Pensions Act, backed up by rep- resentations to the Cabinet and to Members of Parliament, and which we| came down here prepared to fight through to the bitter end, has already Produced results, Last week the Min | ister of Veterans Affairs announced that legislation would be introduced at this Session to provide for an am- endment to the Pensions Act to in- crease the basic rate of pension. The Minister proved very reticent about giving us any idea of the amount of the proposed increase or any other slightest detail of the propdsed legis- lation. His attitude was “Wait and sce” — summed up in the usual Par- liamentary language by the statemen: that this was Government policy and would be disclosed in due course when the legislation is introduced. Tt comes as a great satisfaction, however, to know that the matter is to ve dealt with at this Session. It has also bren| announced that the whole question of War Veterans’ Allowances, which is raised particularly in the light of the Social Security legislation, will be} submitted to a special commuitee on Veterans Affairs to be appointed ear for exar-| recommendation what changes should be made.
