er of the Opposition, andwhich seems to me upon the face of it to indicate that myllon. fribild is in a hurry. He says he wants an election, He says to the Govern- ment, in so manyvwords: You are incompetent; yo? are disorganiled; your mandate tas‘ expired; your Prime-Minister is sick and‘ absen‘: from llis duties; this is not lire- presentatlve Parliament; I chal- lenge the Government to an elec- tion.

That is a "bold defy on the face of it. My hon. fricnd says he"-is in earnest about it. But when he uses the word "earnest" I think he must use it in the Plckwickian sense. If I believed that my hon. friend was in earnest in moving this amendment, and that he really desired an election, I should' be fill- cd with admiration for his lemerity because as I estinlalte public opin- ion in this country‘ there is nothing in an election fol- the lion. gentle- man or his followers. But the hon. gentleman says lid wantlran elec- tion.

An hon. MEMBER: Hoar, hear, Sir THOMAS WIIIITE: An lion. gentleman says “hear. hear,"- well, titers is a great difference be- tween ‘asking for an election which you know the Government is going to deny you ulld asking for an elec-

Similarly in ’ the election of 1904 the issue was the construction of the Grand Trunk ' . . Pacific-railway; But after that was , disposed of by the legislation of the first session of the Parliament that was then ‘elected. the Right Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Government continued lo carry on until 1908 as they hnd a perfect right to do. and more than that, 11B. in my opinion, it was their boun- den duty to do.

One reason for a five _-. parlia- mentary term, a fairly lengthly per- ioc‘. is that the country may not continually experience the turmoil 01’ general elections. There is "illhlllllmore disturbing to the trade, and industry, and tranquility °1 The tcountry than general elec- t lions at too frequent intervals.

Yet the claim is made liy some 11011- gentlemen that this iParllamen-t is not representative. I venture to 88y. Mr. Speaker that never was 111918 in Canada a more representa- tive. Parliament than the present one. Was there ever a general 919011011 .111 Canada in which the > majorities were larger, or In which public opinon was more unmistak- ﬂ-bly behind the policies which were placed before the people by the Prime Minister. the members 0f his Government, and those on ‘this side of the House?
