"At this point. the new member walks to the Speaker's chair pass- ing the Cierk's table on the side of which his party sits. When he reaches the Speaker's dias. he bows and is greeted by Mr. Speaker with a handshake. He then walks out into the lobby from where he is escorted to the seat reserved for him in the back i-ow.

"This impressive ritual of being introduced to Parliament is re- served for members who are elect- ed in by-elections. Members who are elected only on general elec- tions. nevcr experience it. So it' u as a very special day for we four new members.

Prorogzitlon Ceremniiy

"Since this was the last piece of business of the last. sitting of that Session of Parliament iviiicli hnri commenced in JRHIIIIIT. the Ilniise then prorogucd. This is an an- clent. ceremony. and is carried out

with a. very iiiicirstiiie ritual which dates back to Kin: Charles I of England.

On this occasion. Chief Justice Rinfret read the Speech from the Throne acting in the place of His Excellency, thc Goveriior-Geiicral. When the Chicf Justice arrived in the Senate Cliziiiibcr iihcrc the ceremony takes place. the Gentle- man Usher of the Black Rod. who is the equivalent of the Sergeant- at-Arms of the Coiiimons.t-iiitl who also acts as the Govt-riior's per- sonal atteiidriiit when he is in th: Senate Chamber. is sent to the Commons Chamber to inform the Commons that Parliament is about in be prorogued. As he approaches the Commons Chamber. the doors are quickly closed in his facc. "This practice stems from the fact that since the time of the Stuagt Kings, no king. or in our case, no Governor-General is al- lowed to set. foot inside the Com- mons Chamber. Black Rod then knocks three times and on instruc- tions from the Speaker. he is al- lciired to enter :iid his message is delivered. The Commons members. then proceed to the Senate where the Speecli from the Throne is read. And so, lhl". fourth Session of the 21st Parliament of Canada ended.

two speeches from the Throne in one day. This was, I am told. the first time that this has ever oc- curred. After a. very.brlef sitting. the House adjourned for two days for the Royal Visit.

"During this period, we saw the Royal Couple as they drove through the crowd-lined streets of Ottawa. we saw them from our scats as they visited the Commons Chamber. and most pieuing of all. we were introduced to them and shook their hands at a recep- tion given for them by the Gov- crnment at the Chateur Laurier.

"Then Parliament got; down to the work of the Session and we four new members at an early date. had the opportunity of de- livering our maiden speeches on the Debate on the Address in Reply to the speech from the Throne. We were busy. too, with getting offices allotted to us. ob- taining furniture and otherequip-

meat. I share an office with Howie Meeker on the fifth floor. just down the corridor from

Chester McLui-e.

"The most important legislation which the Speech from the Throne indicated would be dealt with during this Session of Par- liainent was the passing of Acts which will -permit. the paying of old age pensions to all persons over seventy years of age com- mencing January 1932. the de- spiitcli to Europe of elements of Air Force and Army.

"Other problems to be dealt with are the high cost-of-liviniZ- the St. Lawrence Seaway, the

South Saskatchewan River pro- ject. the Straits of Canso Cause- way. amendments to the Railway Act. etc.

Old Age Pensions

"The question of old age pen- sions wiihoiit a means test for all persons over seventy was not a controversial one as all parties are completely tn favour of the paying of old age pensions on this basis. However, the Opposition parties felt generally that persons

benefits because they will be re- ceiving the old age pension.

"The high cost of living is something which is of great con- cern to the Members of Parlia- ment. especially to those in the Opposition. In the speech from the Throne. it was announced that it WI: the intention of the Government to introduce legisla- lon to prohibit resale price main- tenance;

"However. the Government has since changed its mind and has now referred the study of price maintenance to a special Joint Committee of the Senate and the House of Commons. This proced. ure may mean that no new legis- lation regarding resale price maintenance will be passed at this Session of Parliament.

”The high cost of living bears especially heavy on those on fix- ed incomes such as pensioners, etc. and this brings up the ques- tion of the necessity of restoring the purchasing power of veteran pensions.

"This was continuously and forcibly brought to the attention of the Government by the Oppo- sition and the Government finally announced that there will be an increase in the dollar value of veterans' pensions to restore their original purchasing power which was. to a great extent, lost due to the increase in the cost-of-liv- ing.

"The typical Opposition mem- ber. therefore, finds himself work- ing from 9 am. until after 10 p.m. Indeed many members have their breakfast in the Parliamentary Restaurant so that they can be on the job immediately after- wards. The result is that many members of Parliament are never out of the building from perhaps if o'clock in the morning until well after 10 o'clock at night.
