still only a promise. , :

annual income from fishing was
less than $1,000. Many jof them
could not obtain off-season em-

There should be a program for

Two Ministers
OTYAWA (CP) â Theâ legal
richt of two cabinetâ ministers to
sit in Parliament was questioned
Thursday in the Commons.
J. W. Pickersgill (L â Bona-
vista-Twillingate) said Hon. W.J.
Browne, St. Johnâs West, and
J.M. Macdonnell, Toronto Green-
wool, both ministers without
portfolio, contravened the Can-
ada Elections Act, probably un-
knowingly, during the March 31
election campaign.
The former Liberal immigra-
tion minister said both ministers
were paid during the campaign
â Prime Minister Diefenbaker
confirmed this â although the
elections act made no provision
for payment of ministers without
portfolio when they were election
candidates.
The act states that no can-
didate can receive payment from
the Crown. There are exceptions,
including specified cabinet minis-
ters. Ministers withoutâ portfolio
are not specified as being excep-
tons. \
Mr. Diefenbaker said the mat-
ter was a legal point which could

was not trying to upset the elec-
tion of the two ministers.
CONFIRMS PAYMENT
Mr. Pickersgill also saidâand
Mr. Diefenbaker : confirmedâthat
ne and Mr. Macdonnell
were paid in February and
March through governor - gen-
eralâs warrants because Parlia-
ment had made no provision for

The warrants are a device used
by the âcabinet to. make expen-
ditures, when Parliament is dis-
solved and has not voted approp-

Mr. Diefenbaker said the gov-

previous time when ministers

Two Ministers
OTYAWA (CP) â Theâ legal
richt of two cabinetâ ministers to
sit in Parliament was questioned
Thursday in the Commons.
J. W. Pickersgill (L â Bona-
vista-Twillingate) said Hon. W.J.
Browne, St. Johnâs West, and
J.M. Macdonnell, Toronto Green-
wool, both ministers without
portfolio, contravened the Can-
ada Elections Act, probably un-
knowingly, during the March 31
election campaign.
The former Liberal immigra-
tion minister said both ministers
were paid during the campaign
â Prime Minister Diefenbaker
confirmed this â although the
elections act made no provision
for payment of ministers without
portfolio when they were election
candidates.
The act states that no can-
didate can receive payment from
the Crown. There are exceptions,
including specified cabinet minis-
ters. Ministers withoutâ portfolio
are not specified as being excep-
tons. \

CONFIRMS PAYMENT
Mr. Pickersgill also saidâand
Mr. Diefenbaker : confirmedâthat

The warrants are a device used
by the âcabinet to. make expen-
