Thousands of civil servants will be shifted to new depart- ments and there will be a wholesale change in ministerial responsibilities. The prime minister said the changes "'are designed te adavt the machinery of government to new conditions and changing needs."' will be involved in the proposed new department of manpower. It will take over the sections of the labor department deal- ing with manpower placement and employment services, tech- nical and vocational training rehabilitation.

In the field of justice, the changes will also be extensive The relatively light duties of solicitor - general will become far heavier with the transfer from justice of the responsibil- ity for the RCMP, the penitent- iaries service and the national parole board. The justice department and the secretary of state depart- ment will also lose some of their responsibilities, said Mr. Pear- son, when additional duties are assigned to "a new and sepa- rate minister." These duties in- clude administration of | the Bankruptcy Act, the Companies Act, combines investigation and research, patents and copy- rights and trade marks. Until the new minister is ap- pointed, Mr. Pearson said some of these functions will go to the president of the Privy Council. The increasing burden on the minister of justice will be greatly lightened by the his' vital seaponei lity for_le- gislation and legal advice." The creation of the portfolio of president of the treasury board, to work closely with the president of the Privy Council, will not have any immediate impact on existing organiza- tions. The new manpower and en- ergy departments. will involve the biggest administrative up- heavals. Mr. Pearson said they will be "key": departments in the economic development of Canada. Unofficially, the link between labor and immigration began forming some months ago when ihe lnimigration Gepartment began taking over manpower surveys that would norma'ly be handled through~-the - National Employment Service. GEARED TO MANPOWER Officials say that with tech- nological advances and skilled- labor shortages, immigration policies likely will be geared closely to manpower problems. They -say there has been an "overlapping of effort'? in the past. The prime minister said there has been a similar lack of co- ordination involving energy. Varous phases are scattered through a series of departments such as trade, mines, resources and industry. When the reorganization is complete, the new department ©; will have responsibility for such organizations as the national energy board, the Northern On- tario Pipeline Corp., Eldcrado Mining and Refining Ltd., Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., jthe Atomic Energy Control Board, and the Dominion Coal Board. Water resources will = also come under its control. The prime minister said it hasn't been decided yet when the department of mines and | { technical surveys will be merged into the new depart- ment or whether it will con- tinue under a separate minis- ter.
