THE FAJVIQR OF‘ G-Ol) ‘IS lJl-EE

Ottawa, Thursday, Feb. 1986

Senator McLean of Souria. who rpmained in Ottawa ‘for the Senate recess, is consthntly to be seen in the Ballery of the diouee of. Com- mons. and is greatly interested in the party battle being waged. Few public men. even with the long pol- itical experience of Senator Mc- Leamcan recall situations more in- teresting and dramatic than those of this present session. Senator -McLean who in September of this year will be eighty years of age, re- mained in the House until consid-

day morning and was among the first on hand when the boll rang for yesterday afternoows sitting. He is remarkably active and well and was borrowing,some tobaccd from the member for King's Coun- -ty when I ran across them ‘both yesterday evening

‘But the membership of the House yesterday afternoon gave evidence of being a bit tired after the long strenuous sitting. of the night before. The Speaker while active and sturdy, is no longer a 1101111: man and unlike the other members, be has to stick continu- ally to his chair. Yesterday ‘he showed the effects of the strain, and several times when the-re was only the slightest evidence of a breeze developing he appealed to the members to have considera- tion of the bodily limitations es- pecially of the more elderly mem- bers. And those taking part in the debate quickly responded so the sitting altogether was most order- ly. The attacking pa/rty i-n a sit- uation like the present must al- ways have strategic-til advantages over the defenders though the rules of the House are design-ed t0 enable the Government forces by their majority to maintain control. But l think it has already been d2- monstrated that if the Conserva- tives decide upon a determined obstructive and wearing down pol- icy they can "hold up the granting of recess for a very considerable period and render the orderly fill- ing of the vacancies in the cabinet practically impossible.

he threw off that judicial attitude which attempted ‘to show that it was only after weighing the argu- meats of both sid-zsas to particu- lar propoaala that he came to a de- cision. Members of the ll-louae would respect him and a certain proportion of his followers much more if they threw off the mask and straightforwardly crossed t-he floor of the House and took their seats with those whom they so constantly supported in every em- EFBGDCY.

Hon. Mr Robb dealt exclusively with the charges against the Cus- toms Department. admitted the Government knew the smuggling conditions were bad, that they were doing their best to control the il-li- cit traffic which had reached large proportions and that recent large increases ‘in the customs collec- tions showed that they were meet- ing with some success.

Mr Bennett followed and quo§d most effectively the word-s of t_1r Wilfrid Laurier, uttered when the House was in session following up- on the death of Sir John Macdon- uld,when he set forth in rather sim- ilar conditions to those of the pre- sent, that adjournment should’ only be from day to day. ll am sure that Mr. Bennett influences those

Yst-erday before the debate was commenced Hon. Mr. Boivin.

But ho made_ it very plain that this would in no wise af- fect the Opposltionis determina- tion to resist ‘the Government's plan for a long recess at this time. lMr, Steven's amendment gives every member who had already spoken to the Government's mo- tion for recess. an opportunity to speak again. So the iMinister of Justice was enabled to take the floor without depriving himself of the right to the final reply of the Debate. He was very conciliatory in tone and made n0 bones of the fact that the Government's sup- port in the House was so precari-

Mr. Don- aid Sutherland followed shortly be- fore six 0'-clock and will continue this afternoon.

The serious charges brought against the Customs Department

are naturally the talk of the street and of ‘the corridors of the House. fliberals quite freely admit that things are not as they should be and ‘that the late iM-inister of Cus- toms, iHon.
