Mr. Stewart called the bill “one of the most important piee- es of legislation to be brought before this house in many years; it will involve a com- Dlete re-organization of the pro- vince’s civil service and estab- lish a civil service commission.

“Tt will mean that all members of the civil service will be em- ployed through a commission Civil service employment will be taken out of political partisan-
