RIMOUS OUTBURSTS

Progressive Conservative and CCF parties waged a three-week procedural fight to block the bill. challenging the government's tac- tics by raising repeated points of order. The chair consistent' ruled against them and the situa- tion culminated in a rioutous re- volt against the chalr's authority, with echoes which continued for the rest of the H .

Those were" the-events which made the third session. of Can- ada's 22nd Parliament unique.

There were other issues. includ- ing an early-session opposition fight lasting 12 days against the government's plan for assisting prairie farmers with a glut of grain stored on their farms. which helped stretch the length of the session - the first under new rules designed to speed up work.

On Aug. lo the Commons sur- passed the M8 sitting days of the 19:7-08 session. This left' the length of the 1955 session second only to that of 1903. which set a record 155vdays. in 1953 the House sat 139 days and last year 140. LONG STRUGGLE

But the most hectic period. in which crisis followed crisis, stretched from May 8. when Trade Minister 1-iowc announced the government's pipeline. plan. to July 0. when Mr. St. Laurent an- nounced that Speaker Beautioin's proferred resignation would not be carried lthrough.

The high point came June 1- later called ”Black Friday"-- when Conservative and CCF mem- bers stormed in open retellion into the centre aisle of the cham-

ber before Speaker Beaudoln.

Opposition Leader Drew made a celullra motion charging the Sbelker with "subordinating the rlghtoftbaliousetothewillol the government."

A week later. after the pipeline bill became law, the censure mo- tion was defeated 100 to 35. The House divided as it had on the pipeline, with the Liberal-Social Credit majority hacking the Speaker and the Conservative- CCF members voting for censure. SPEAKER? LETTER

The rift In the Commons wid- ened on June 29 after parts of a private letter by Mr. Beaudoin to a Montreal newspaper man were

published in Montreal La Patric. pl

In it the Speaker said "my accusers distorted the facts for their own political ends." Mr. Drew said this removed from the Speaker "any possible suggestion of impartiality." The situation was intolerable.

On July 2 Mr. Beaudoin submit- ted his resignation "to take effect at the pleasure of the House" and asked that it be accepted as soon as possible. He said he wanted "to regain my full freedom of speech" and denied his nrlings had ever Leen motivated by par- tisan feelings.

The resignation could not take effect at once. The prime minis- ter. who has the prerogative of nominating new Speakers. was in London at the Commonwealth prime minister; conference.

Mr. St. Laurent, turning Commons a week later. made the bombshell an ouncement that Speaker Beaudoin was willing to stay on. He said "an uverwhelm- ing majority" of members had confidence in Mr. Beaudoin."

Conservative and CCF parties protested but made no further attempt to unseat the Speaker. Instead they redoubled previous demands that Mr. St. Laurent dis- solve Parliament and call an elec- tion. They said the Commons should not continue lacking unan- imous confldence in the chair.

The prime minister rjected the election challenges.

TOLLS REVISED
