"l was Just thinking that pgr- hops those are the tactics that llLIVO been adopted by the TQfy member for Queen's."

When Dr. Grant was telling the House a story about a farm in- hbector and a farmer's bull. a Pro- gressive Conservative memibgg- 1n. terjected "more bull."

_"'l‘he moral oi that story is that

villus

you cannot reason with a. bull,‘ concluded Dr. Grant. ' "There is no reason in W111‘

The member for King's took is- sue with Mr. McLure on the ques- tion of wartime spendlngs oi the Dominion Government in Prince Eilward Island. Actually when Col. ltnlslon ivas Minister oi National Defence and represented an Is- Lind constituency. there was more lirioney spent on airport construc- tion proproticnate to population than in any other Province, he sniti. . it was due to the Liberal Gov, Brnmr-flt. Dr. Grant continued. that his County of King's had seven boat harbors. "I have just received notice that a new boat harbor will ‘be constructed at Launching Place, the contract having been awarded to H. G, Phillips slid Sons. the lowest Miri- der at $83,863, so that both the County and the Province will benefit from this new harbor."

l-fe lauded the Liberal policy of aiding the fishermen through the

Fisher-men's Loan Board when the party came to power in 1935, and charged that. from i930 to 193A, fishermen of the Maritimes were starving and the Conservative Government oi that period “did not do one thing for them."

On the matter of markets for Prince Edward Island iish. Dr. Grant predicted that there is go- ing to be difficulty in selling the

Canadian catch of fish and the output of canned fish. "Tile cannerics are about to

start up operations. and an appeal is being made to the Department of Fisheries to buy canned flsn to be Qsent overseas for relief pur- poses,“ he sold. - .

At the close oi Dr. Grant's remarks, Mr. MeLure rose to a point of order but since he did not state the issue immediately. he was called to order by Mr. Speak- er and failed to get a hearing.

Opposition Leader Scores Lack 0f information in Report 0f Public Works

Provincial legislature, March I.

The Ho met at 3:16 p.rn,

Hon. Dr. aclvliilan asked the Minister of Public Works and Highways whether the report

tabled in the House with respect to the activities of his department was to be supplemented by other information. "For several years wo have had detailed information about the expenditures on roads, bridges, gravellinz. ctc." he said. "This year we are only given a few totals withou any details."

Hon. Mr. Barbour said the Pub- llc Works report this year was in line with the reports submitted in Ontario. Alberta, Saskatchewan and other provinces. "ln this Province in the past we had people working I01‘ road tux." he said. "and every man's name was shown in the ali- niuai report. That is not done in other provinces and it is used here principally for people wanting to find out what their neighbors are getting. We have the information in the Department and if ques- tions are asked we shall try to provide the House ivlth informa- tion. But in these times when ll. is so hard to get printing done it is not necessary to extend the an- nual report to 180 or 200 pages. and have x‘. this printed in the jour- nals of the House. We are doing away with the road tax and we will not have nearly the amount of people throughout. the Province working on the roads."

Hon. Dr, MacMiliaii: "Does that refer also to the Falconwood l-Ios- pitai report?"

Hon. 1W1‘. Barbour: “That is und- cr the Department of Health now."

Dr. MacMiiiarf: "I understood from the Minister that. if we want information we are to ask ques- tlons?"

Mr. Barbour: "if you ilvaiit to know what everybody was paid all over the country for a day's worl:."

Dr. MucMlllun: "My hon. friend must anticipate a long session if he is prepared to answer all the questions that will have to be

asked on the Public Works re- port." Mr. Barbour: "I will table the

reports Lhave of some of the other Provinces so that lion. members can have a look at lhcm for ilieni- selves.“

First Readings

Hon. Mr. Stewart presented a petition from the Diocesan Church Society oi Prince hklward Island for enabling legislation to sell and convey the title of church pro- perty in SDUIlS. A bill in accord- ance with the petition was receiv- ed and read.

Hon. Mr. _B:ii'bour introduced a bill intituied Tile Expropriation of Land Act.

Hon. Mr. Large introduced an Act to Amend the Election Act.

Hun. Mr. Arsenauit presented the annual report of the Legisla- tive Library.

Oil motion of lion. liir. Large the House resumed couinilttce. with Mr. Dougald MacKinnon in the chair, on second read g of an Act to make uniform the law re- specting registration of corpora- tion securities. The bill was re- ported agreed to with minor aimend-rnents.

On motion of l-lon. Mr. Large the House went into committee with Mr. Ramsay in the chair on an Act to amend the Insurance Aet. The promoter explained that. the bill was to provide for uni- for legislation throughout Can- ada and dealt chiefly with group life insurance. Ii. was reported iigreed to with omenC-ncnt.

Deputy Ministers

On motion of lion. Mr. l-lughes the House iron-t. into committee with Mr. Seville in the chair oii an Act to amend the Public De- partments Act. 'l‘lie bill provides ior the appointment of more than one Deputy Minister in the De- partment of Public Works and Highways, also for appointing by order-in-councll a Deputy 0i‘ Depu- ties "in each department includ- ing those presided over by the Provincial Secretary and the At- torney-General." etc. Another sec- tion provides for payment to a legislative Assembly r who is s member of the committee alp- pointed for the control of bac-

terial ring rot and. other plant diseases. l-lon. Dr. Macmillan called at.-

tention to the fact that- the Dc- partment of Public Works after the retirement. of MI. L. B. Mne- Miilian had functioned for sev- eral months without a mputy. and now it. has two Deputy Min- isters. Why this was done lust be- fore the election was something which he could not understand.

Hon. Mr. Barbour said one of the Deputies is now in ‘ ,, of aooosintin; and the other of eng- ineering. This. syatnin. he maln- tsined. was more efficient than the old practice.

. MacMilian; "Ii two Depu- ties are necessary, why the delay in appointing any Deputy Minister for months? The only reason for aqaointing two Deputies is that on election occurred."

Premier Jones said the dual ap- pointments had been made when the neoessi y occurred.

Mir. D. L. Methieson asked why the necessity for the awolntmsut cl a Dqruty Minister for the At- torney-Generai should occur at this time.

Hob. Mr. flushes: "This is not appointing a Deputy.”

Mr. Mathleson: "No. but it gives

authority for such an appoint- ment." ‘

Mr. Bell asked if there hm been any demand for a Deputy in this case. duo to any increase in the Attorney-General’: Department.

Mr. Hughes said that question need not be answered, as the bill provided only for a contingency.

Dr. MacMiilan- asked why pro- vision is not being made ior ii. Deputy Minister of Reconstruction.

Mr. flu-Shes; "What is the use of making provision for the ap-

Dr. MacMillan called attention to the work done by the present secretary of the Department of Reconstruction who had been
