velopment and imp- ‘ of the growth and culture of oysters and other mcliuscsin the said areas. Following upon this agreement it was decided that before encourag- ing anyone to go into oyster farm- ing, the department would make an investigation to ascertain the methods by which success would be achieved. This investigation took three years and immediately there. after the contem ' * * method or encouraging oyster farming was launched.

Mr. MacLEAN: Is the minister o: the opinion that the department is on the right track in lensing those areas? Does he not think he is treading on very dangerous ground? The moment he takes any public fishing area away from the public fishermen and gives it to private individuals, does he n01; think he is immediately courting trouble for his department and is dealing unfairly with the public fishermen?

Hon. Mr. DURANLEAU: What the hvn- ‘ suggests has not been done by the department.

Mr. MacLEAN: Does the minis- ter mean to say that no public areas have been leased?

Hon. Mr. DURANLEAU: No pub- lic producing areas have been leased.

"Friends on Both Sides",

Mr. MacL-EAN: I can hardly agree with the minister in that re- gard because the leasing has been done in areas where the oysters are showing signs of coming back. If those areas are not now producing 111 large and paying quantities, what we hoped was that with the aovernments cooperation with na- ture on the oyster areas, the beds would be brought back for public fishing. I em placed in a very dif- ficult position in connection with this matter because a. division of opinion exists and I have good friends on both sides, more are some whobelisvc the ‘ ing is e11 right and I understand they have taken out leases. There are many others who believe the oyster fish- eries should‘ be retained for the public fishermen, and any money expended should be spent with that aim in view, namely, to bring back the areas for the public fishermen. If you follow this question a little furl-lief. there are other oyster areas in are province. I see mem- hers from other counties. oi my province present. They have oyster areas in their counties and I do not think they would for a moment approve of the wholesale leasing of those areas. It would not be fair to them or to the fishermen oi their M- “ ‘ for the depart- ment to do that.

The department may be quite honest and sincere in this matter, but I am sorry I cannot agree that the minister, through his depart- ment, is pursuing the-right course in this regard. As I have stated, the moment you start handing over to private individuals the public fishing areas of any community, you are starting trouble. I do not know what the aim of the depart- ment 15; Perhaps it thinks the peo- ple who take out those leases will begin to develop the areas and the Department of Fisheries will not be obliged to spend the money ltoi-h- erwlse would. If that is the idea, it is false economy, because it will prove a source of trouble. It has been attempted before with disus- trous results to the fishing indus- try and we feel sure the same thins will happen again. I do not wish to emphasise this too strong. ly, but I might inform the minis- ter that very largely attended in. dignution meetings were herd in that district last summer, ‘Those

as 500 or 600 people and 60mm"?- teu were formed which were auth- orized to act on behalf of the fish- crlllcll. They protested 880ml‘ m“ leasing; they sent petitions and protests to the department and still the latter continues to lease those areas. I would like to kIWW "W" the minister whether he intends t0 proceed with the leaslnz 91' ih° areas notwithstanding the fact that those protests have been re- ceived from such a "large body 0! the fishermen.

mm, Mr. MacDONALD (Kinstil One would think the hw- member for Prince, who lives nlondflide this area, would give the comrnittfic B ‘fairer picture of conditions than he has done Just now. He knows very well the areas about which he speaks are not Pmfluml? m“ areas which are lllciducm! l" m‘ being leased by the government; that‘ the agreement lmdcr which those areas are beinB 15"“ W" made about five years ago by the previous government with the then government of Prince Edward Is- land and that this government is only carrying out regulations c0“- tained in that agreement. I have ygi; m learn that the hon. member protested at that time against the agreement made by the W0 80V- ernments of which he was a suP- porter, but now he comes forward with these oblections. He also speaks about meetings havlna B6911 held there,,whlch I understand were largely engineered by himself for the purpose of embarrassing the department and the Kfivmmenl-

Mr. MacLEAN; I have every re- spect for my hon. friend, but I would ask him to withdraw that statement because it ls not correct.

Hon. Mr. MACDONALD (Kings: If my hon. friend says that it is not correct, I shall-withdraw it. The mam point, however, is this: the areas to which ho refers and which are being leased are not and would not be made productive. 0e!‘- tainly not in our time, if some per- son did not lease, cultivate and make them productive. Therefore in those sectionswhcre the effort is being made it is for the good of the industry, to revive and keep alive something which would oth- erwise rrot have been revived.

Mr. Macllcclfs viewpoint-

Mr. MacLEAN: l-‘teplyin .to the hon. member for Kings. I id not wish to Introduce a political view- point flrto this discussion. As I stated at the beginniflfl’. B5 mint’ of my political friends are in fav- our of leasing as are against it. Ho refers to the agreement which was entered into by the former govern- ment. May I tell the committee frankly that under the former gov- ernment and through my own in- strumentality, receiving assistance from scarcely anyone but the then. Minister of Fisheries, we had an appropriation placed in the estim- ates in order to bring back the famous Mslpeque oyster. It is well known the Malpequs oyster was the most famous oyster in the world and at present oysters are being sold on the markets in various cities as Malpeque oysters although they do not come from that sec- tion at all; they come from across ths border. The chairman asks why Canadian oysters are not sold in time parliamentary restaurant. The reason they are not sold is that we are not producing them~ in quantities sufficient to supply the market.

We did ask the Dominion govern- ment to establish oyster areas. Away back some fifteen or twenty years ago oyster areas were under the control cf the Dominion gov- ernment. At that time the local government in Prince Edward Is- land conceived the ldel that if they had the oyster areas they could lease them to private in- dividuals, and in that way bring great revenues to the province. The local IOVEIIIITIJi’, did take over those areas and began leasinB them. The result.wss that oysters were brought into that ares. in- discriminately from the southern United States, and disease became apparent on the beds, wiping out the total oyster production in that great area, The beds lay dormant a number of years. The local gov- ernment had not money to expend to bring them bsck to production. I was particularly interested be- cause the area was in a district near my home. I am not ashamed to tcll the committee that as a. family of boys, my brothers and I made good money out oi the oys- ter areal, and the farmers and fishermen of that community did the same thing, before the disease wiped out the industry. Then the Dominion government agreed to the over the oyster areas, and to

._. them back to production. At this point I should like to take issue with the hon. memben for Kings when he states that those areas were taken over with the idea of leasing them, because under sec- tion 9 of the agreementrthere is provision that before leasingls un- dertaken the department at Ot- tawa must obtain the, approval of the provincial government at Char- lottetown. When the Liberal party was in power here the provincial government in Charlottetown nev- er gave its consent to leasing, nor was any policy of leasing decided upon. I! the former Minister of Fisheries were in his seat he could verify my statement, and the depu- ty minister can now verify it, that as a representative of the county in question, and the only one real- ly interested in the matter, I never save my consent to a policy of leasing. Further, leasing was never decided upon or announced as a policy of the department.

Contender Policy Changed

However, following a change oi government in Prince Edward Is- land and another change here the policy of leasing was decided upon. The federal department ilonsulted the provincial government. Adver- tisements for leases were inserted in newspapers and the leasing oi the areas was proceeded with. The hon. member for Kings states that no public areas which were pro- ducing wereleased. I ask him on what authority he makes that statement. I have been ,in close touch with the fishermen, and -I am mid that the public areas now beginning to produce are being leased. They have made, similar representations to the department. Therefore before any further leas- ss are issued I suggest very care- ful consideration should be given the matter. There are oyster areas in other rivers and bays. Why should Prince county be picked out and the areas leased, thereby tak- ing away from the fishermen the public rights afforded fishermen 1n other counties? If there is to be one policy for one part cf the province and another for another, well and good. I say however that such procedure would be quite un- fair.

I do not wish to make this a political issue in any way. but I believe it is my duty in this com- mittee to defend the rights of the public fishermen, and that the money being expended by the 80v- ernment should be spent in the in- terests of public fishermen. The hon. member for Kings states that the public areas cannot bc brought back to production by ythc depart- ment, but that they can be brought back by private owners. I should like to know why that is so. Oys- tors for seed purposes can be ob- tained only from restricted areas where the beds show life and are now producinlz. {he government could lake the oysters off the re- stricted areas which have been set aside for breeding purposes, clean the areas, and protect them prop- erly, as well as private owners can. To say that private owners can bring back areas and that the de- partment cannot, is begging the question, because one has as good a chance to do so as has the other.

Anticipates Criticism

c minister should Kivn this ma tcr his personal and careful nt- tention; it is a mutter much too serious to be trlfled with. As the hon. member for Antigonish-Grlys- borough has said, one day we have one Minister of Fisheries and thc next my we have another. Despite the fact, that they are good men, they are busy with other work and are not giving the attention to the fishing industry that it merits. Tho deputy minister is doing his best, but he is nailed down to his desk, and receives very little assistance. Important matters are left to drift, and they are not given the care- ful conslcleration they should re- ceive. I wonder if any hon. member in the house would submit to the lcasin to private individuals of public fishing rights in the rivers and bays of his constituency? I venture to say there is no man in the house who would support any such policy,

No doubt l’ shall receive n grout deal of criticism from some of my

personal friends. I feel it my ducy. however, to defend the rights oi

hero to speak for themselves.

Conimends Policy

Mr. PRICE (vvestmorland, N.B.-: As I understand the matter, on; non-productive beds are being leas- cd at thc present time. I believe there has been no interference with private beds. Not one man out of fifty can make a. success out of barren beds. It has been tried in my constituency; men with money have spent thousands of dollars in an endeavour to make non-productive beds productive. and in every instance they have failed. This vote of $13,000 is for the culture and protection of oyster beds. I believe the department is trying to do something to advance the oyster industry. The experience in the past has been that only those beds which have been priv- ateiy owned have been successful, so far as production is concerned. In the county of Kent the Barnes Company some years ego were giv- en a. lease of certain beds, of which they have made a success. Outside of that, the beds open to the gen- eral public are much abused. I be- lieve the department is taking steps to improve that condition, and also to improve oyster culture. I have no doubt it is endeavouring to do its best, and I suggest this small vote ‘of $13,000 should receive the approval of the committee.
