Following is the Hansard report
of the speech delivered by lion. Sen-
ator Murphy on _the resolution iid-
opted by the House of _(,‘-om/mons
providing, among other things, that
ii province shall always he _entitled
gn 8 |.\|“~_l.er of members in the
House of lfornmons not less than the
number ol? Senators representinl»‘£ that
provim-e":
lion. Mr. MURPHY- I___ listened
with some fittentiori to the reinnrks
of the hon. leader of the Opposition
and I may any I alii in harmony
with those remarks, in so far us not
agreeing with the resolution in toto.
But my ruisolis for disagreeing with
if are solnewluit different from those
of the lion. gentleman who has just
addressed the House. In my remarks
on the address at the beginning of
the session. I thougliql li-ide plain
the position us I saw it then, und
.us I sei: it now, and as every man
who comes from my prfrsince sees it.
The position in Prince Iildward ls-
land. which was the first clause to
be utizncked, and which is the last
clause in the resolutioli, is designed
.im do nt least a raensure of justice
to that province. When I siiw in the
Morning Citizen the result of the
work in the Commons Inst evening, I
may friinkly tell yo_u_ that I was dis-
appointed, but I knew the legisla-
tion in its finiil form was the result
of the coriiniittee on both sides of,
the House, which Iiad been endeavor-
iug to make the best of a had case,'
ever since the beginning of the imit-
ter. The representation of the pro-
vinces had to he rcadjusted, the mat-
ter was consequently referred to ii
rominitti-e compyivsirrg the ablest men
on both sides of the House, We in
Prince Edward Island feel that by
an error in the writing of the (Ion-
federation contract, justice has been
ivitbheld from us ever since the
readjustment clause can'-e into effect
in 1.\`91, und our representation,
which nu then regarded as an irredu-
ciI.le riiinimuin, was taken doivn
from tlii: six members that we had
for over eight or nie years after the
first conference, and was actually
conceded, according to nil the dates
that we can get of the conference
at which we agreed to buve the uri-
lon. Strong representations have
been ni-nde ti-nie lifter time for the
last few years to i.hc Governor of
(Tunadn, both Liberal and Conserva-
tive, to put us in ii position where
we would not at leur-it lose our pro-
vincial nutonomy. When ii province
as every province of this Confedera-
tion has done, or did when 'it joined
thc pact, surrenders its position of
sl.lf~rovi-rninent, it surrenders si
llfcat deal, and the an-iller the pop-
ulntrou of a province that surrend-
ers that :viif.onon|_V into the liiiudn of
the ini_ijority proviiic.es'thn inorc if,

The mnrble walls sliimmered like

Ahmed marked the t""fi_ and raised

"Bruce Saliib!" he called,
"Yes, Ahmed. I'll risk it first."
Bruce moved the elephant to the

"Kathlyn Hare?" he whispered.
“Who is it?"
"Bruce."'
"Father, father!" Bruce heard her

‘at Quebec, and at that time, when
the relations of the provinces were

,regarded the condition of affairs us
"affected by these resolutions, show-
'ing conclusively that in the optim-
_isnr of men at that time there was
Inu tliought of reudjilstmcnt down-
wards, the whole thought, when the
word rcadjiistnielit wus used, was
ithiit it would naturally he a rend-
Vjiisfriieiit upwards ill the luitural de-
velopment of the country. Here is
an excerpt from what Mr. llrown
said in uoving the resolution with
r-e,-_:ar~d to this matter at. tluit time:
'I‘lie practical result will be that
while Lower (`anada certainly will
not be li-iss, and thi; lower provinces
muy inert-use in population, they can-
not decrease in the number of their
i~»~presentatives.
That was the intention of the far-
mers of the Confederation piict. Hou.

than 11|-I members.

unit. Pi'incc Edward Island was ntl
exception in so far as Prince Edward
Island was dealing with those four
province~s as an intergral part, and
felt, after staying six_ years out of

show that tho resolution in this ad-
dress is only doing partial justice
of what we expected we would re-
ceive when we entered Confederation.
Now here are the words of them' Pre-

to the inet that we have no (frown

In the same debate Mr. I'opc said---

Prince lidward Island would rather
be out of Confederation than con-
sent to this motion; _ive would have
no status, only five members.
We were entitled under the Con-
fc-deration,r=ict to five members. \
only five out of 194 would give
the Island no position.
Then. in the name of Heaven, 1
ask you gr-iitleliieri on both sides of
the lfouse, after forty yogi-3 of Crm-
fi-dcrution what would three mein-
bers give us us compared with 234.
Hon. Mr. (YLORAN--Hear, hear.
Holi. Mr. Murphy-Mr. Palmer said:

if _voir wnuf me to say so on the
_floor of fhis }-I'Juse-as we did suffer
under Confederation, for we were.
more lu-iiiillzerl than nnv other pro-
vince under Confederation. In this
connef-i.lon I want to draw your nt-
tention to the fnet that even under
the rrnsene system of representing by
rural constituencies is not more than
population ol Prince Edward Island
“U51 and the eiephanthis practically rural. Our biggest
eftv-It would be called s town In
any other pro\'lnce-- has only 12
the county
of which ' I
opulntlon the representation of rur-
al constituencies is based on n
mailer unit than the representation
el urbsn crinstituencies. While the
renernl ilnlt of representation for
Canada is about 32.000, the unit for
1€.00u or 20,000, I want Lgdrsw
your attention to the fact that the
.000,
next one tion Act were
only 1,- that it v-.iss only
city of Iiondon to send to the Brit-
ish liouse of Commons no less than
seventy representatives, and the City
of lI’ionfi‘eal in the Confederate Par-
liauirrzt would have a representation
greater than that of this island. Its
statistics warrant the belief that '
any man of coznrrrgp scale, why
should we have been given six when
were only entitled to five at Con-_
federation, if it 'was not understifod
in the terms ol Con_fe_d_etation`_» that
we should hails siX.‘ Wlfsn there was
'i'c-arrangement alter the census -of
1881, when Sir John A. Macdonald
was in control ef the affairs of the
country. he kneyv the arrangement
and iindersfandfng at Confederation.
Why should he still have left us
with six members when we were only
entitled to five? For the simple rea-
son-no question about it--that he
knew there wus an error in the writ-
ing o_f the |“ederation pact. I would
ask my hon. friend not to take ex-
in
n few years the population will be so
incrensod by the 'influx of the tide
lose in the halls of legislation even the
of immigration that the island would
small voice which she might raise ut
her entrance into the union. _
That is precisely what occurred,
and I wish to express my respect for
the prcscicnce of those gentlemn.
At the outset we have six represent-
atives in a House .of 184 members;
we \-would now have only three in a
House of 234 members, if this mens-
urc of redress were not granted/I‘his
matter of representation is a. sore
spot in I’rincc Edward Island. We
are penalized on the one hand by t_he
non-fulfilment ol' the terms of union
in the matter of winter communica-
tion with the mainland, as the
result of which we have lost popula-,
tion and been unable to develop,l
uhile on the other band because'
an attempt is made to penaIlzeus_
by decreasing our ::presentatIop.‘
The clause in the resolution is a
wise one, and I cannot understand
the opposition of the hon. member
from British Columbia (lion. Mr.
Dostock). That province was grant-
ed an irreducible minimum of repre-
atiou. With ir smaller population
than we have in Prince Iidwnrd Is-|
land, they were granted six repre-
sentatives, yet the hon. gentleman
raises an objection to Prince Iidward
Island retaining this present reduced
representation. .At the subsequent
census the province from which my
hon. friend comes had only a populo-
tlon of 60,000 and they retained their
six. We retained our six, being still
only entitled to five, that
while the framers of. l

therefore weakened our case. The
hon. gentleman may have heard the
member who moved the address in
the House of Commons this year,
Col. McLeod, pf York, saying that
the case of Prince Edward Island

have our representation restored.
Hon. Mr. CLORAN-The remarks
of the hon. gentleman from Tignish
are ebuolutely apt to the situation.
Ile has done his duty in calling the
attention of the House, the country
and the Government to the fact that
the solemn pact entered into between
the island and the Canadian federa-

pealed ro the Privy Council, they in-
formed nic it was, and it was lost
because it was taken jointly with the
other provinces. I have no doubt a-
bout that, but I feel from a legal
point of view that if the province
went to the Privy Council and put
before the Privy Council the state-
ments the lion. gentleman had anode,
backed by official documents _of this
country. that there is no lord in
England that would not say to the
provinces, ‘You have rights and they
have been violated by your federal
Government nnd we will restore
them.’ Under these circumstances I
`say that all that the hon. gentle-
man from Tignish has said has full
weight with me in regard to the
matter.
