Mr. Sinclair said that raw edi- ble oils from the British prefer- cntial countries come in free and from most favored nations the duty is 10 per cent. The duty on re- fined oils is somewhat higher. The average last year on all re- fined oil imports was 13.3 per cent.

Referring to the increase in the price of margarine this spring, Mr. Sinclair said the increase was to match an increase in the price of butter.

The Government felt it would be preferable to make an effort to complete the work now before the House, to conclude the present session as soon as is consistent, with the proper despatch of bus-.' iriess, and to adjourn until thei beginning of October, A proviso would be made that Parliament collld be summoned earlier if cir- cumstances warranted.

If an earlier meeting is not re- quired by unforeseen circumstan- ces. the Government will recom- mend the prorogatlon of the pre- sent session in October and the immediate start of it new session.

Mr. St. Laurent said that in the immediate future the Government will introduce legislation to pro- vide for an enlarged old-age pen- sions progrnm. The program will provide for S40-a-month pensions to all 70 and over regardless of means and for similar pensions to the needy between 65 and 69.

But while the legislation will be introduced, it will be held over for final passage un- til the fall session. Payment of the pensions for those -70 and over will start Jim. 1. 1952, in all parts of Canada.
