commons varies a great deal depending on the subect and idertiaps even more on the formality of the occas on when the house is in committee members address a cha rman rather than the speaker and speeches can rend to be short land more informal a good deal of such informal debate occurs on the estimates of the various government departments which forecast their spending for the coming fiscal year atpresnr estimates of several departments have been passed by the house but somewhat over one half remain to be dealt with on rcrrt example was the department of northern af i itsir and national resources 1 presided over by its vigorous young minister the honourable i walter dmsdale who has spok in halton cuontv this i department has a wide range jfmterests and responsibilities the canadian government tra ivel bureau the national lus cum of canada and the admin istration of our national parks historic sites and various wild llife problems come under its i jurisdiction the water rev

itas only 16 such efforts as the new three million dollar vocational school at yellowknife for es kimos and the children of others in the north is a healthy and encouraging sign th dpartmnt of northern affairs has provided important impetus for the development of the eskimos great natural gifts stone carving print mak ing and leather and ekm work developed and encouraged by departmental officials and now handled a good deal by the es kimos themselves have won wide acclaim around the world tourist camps for hunters and fishermen from the south the catching and shipping of such oelicacics as arctic char ex tensne work as mechanics and in other fields are hnnpng the eskimos a new independ ence and outlook conditions of change were inevitable and t seemed that the wisest plan
