a tire for every wheel that rolls on your farm itime fs re stone hotlton map joins in conservative filibuster 7ife veublaai sybil bennett qc au joined to a progresslveconservstive filibuster aimed at abolishing extension of the defence production act when the poke in the house of commons at some length on june isth the conservative are putting up strong fight to end sweeping author ities granted the cabinet and defence production minister c d hove un der the act with opposition leader george drew is charge of the cam pigb- monday they won their paint and the filibister ended when the gov ernment limited power of the act to a ehreeyear period for the benefit of her constituents here miss bennetts remarks are quo ted in full from hansard mr speaker the minister will have to will a few minute yet i have lis tened to this debate 1 know a great deal has been said a great deal ha been said in reiteration but mr spea ker thi reason i wsat to join in this debate is that the issue before ui the very principle of this bill goes to the very heart to the very root to the very being of our constitution and of our free parliamentary system i want to say ihla to you us speaker kvery man and woman elected to this house under our free parliamentary system should be speaking should be raising their voice and should have something to say in the defence of our constitution and of our parllam enlary system which we have had for long years in tact for centuries it was only about 300 or 400 years ago which is a very abort time actually in our history that our forefathers stood in the mother of parliaments and fought this particular issue the very principle that w are considering in this bill today therefore 1 say mr speaker that every hon member el ectad by the free will and the free vote of the people of thla nstion should be speaking to uphold and to eatend the bulwarks of the free and magnificent institutions thst we have enjoyed tor centuries it ia not a matter of the minister nor is it a matter so mich of lhs bill and other bills this bill is simtlsr to other bills every bill thst cornea before this houses does to a certain extent give wide powera this parti ruler bill however givea the miniater in charge the wideat power poaslble the widest powers to go into every phase and every department of ilhe economic and aodal life of thia coun try in addition to giving these very wide powers mr speaker there ia no limitation upon the time during which the minuter has these powera it has been said by the minister and by other hon members that it la very necessary to protect the country it is very neceassry to protect this nsllon because we live in a state of emergen cy we live in a state of upheaval we live in a state of uncertainty and naturally we must be able to move quickly and with deiterity naturally we must be able to pass laws to man arr the country to brine forth its greatest manpower and obtain their crrat aervices in the first plsce mr speaker we sre not in an emergency any sug gestion that we are in an emergency today is foolish and ludicrous we know we sre living in serious times and we shsll continue in that way but saucily senrus times have sliuoit be come normal furthermore we have passed through two crest wsrs the first world war the sceond world war and the korean war i would remind you mr speaker and the house that at that time we were able to rally to gether we were able to bring all our forces together and we fought those wars to a proper a complete and a victorious conclusion we are not in a different aituation today i will go farther than that and say that i am not so sure emergency powers of this kind should be granted even for a li mited time because we live in a day and age when transportation is speedy parliament can be called together quickly we can come here from every part of thia nation as a mat tcr of fact mr speaker in the last three dsys i have covered 3800 miles in this country considering thai it ia abundantly evident that ia a very short time if an emergency arose we could tie brought together we could consider tliiae mstters never once in our his tory not during the first war the sec ond war or the korean war did this parliament the representatives of the people refuse to vote anything that was required for refenee or the nec- neasities or emergency of thla nation therefore i am not so sure that these emergency rights should be given un der our constitution under our free dom under our rights under the very reasons why we are sent down here and why do the people of the country send us heret they send us here and they pay us a salary to be here to consider these things to go into these matters and if iris necessary to give these very wide powers where they are required and where they can be properly handled and properly contained i want to tail you that the very great danger in this thing is that there it a new philosophy abroad in this country as a matter of fact there la a philosophy abroad la the world in which matfyi countries have alien prey it has come about in a very subtle way and in a way that on hard ly thinks about ii you look at the totalitarion states under- dictator ships how did the powers first coma to those dictators how did they come in italy how did they come in dernufny how did they coma ia suaklat hwdwjmii to other by the slow means of giving powers by slowly giving extraordinary pow era to one man to a group of men or to a coterie of men we are living in a day and age where on man or a group of men or a coterie of men want power they want it so thst they may be sole to handle things as someone said to me in a much more stresm lined and speedier way i want to tall you that that is the very beginning that is the very basis that is the very essence that is the very start of this taking over of powea it may be very subtle it buy be very hidden but actually it la laying the foundation and preparing lhaway to much grea ter and broader powers to be given to one nun or to a group and it finally ends in a dictatorship it is not a case of the minister in question- it i not a case so much ef the principle of this bill it i not only just this bill w know thst there will be something els larger and broa der and wider powers will be asked for aa i aay it is a very dangerous philosophy that is growing in the world and l taking it subtly but surely and gradually and very defin itely it is taking root in this country and in this parliament of canada i remember a very prominent per son in this country a man of ability a man of good quality thinking once saying to me that the day and age of parliamentary debate and parllamen tary argument had come to an end that w could not have it because w have net the urn it was argued thst we have too much work to do in this country thst w have too much bust neas to do in this country thst w must streamline our business and give it over to a few experts it is argued that there is no need for this discus sion and this achats on this bill i wsnl to ssy to you aa dto all mem bers ef this house thst sfter all this is not what we have lived and fought for thia is not whst our sneestors fought for for hundreds of years we sre sdvocsting the retaining of those very principles call it s filibuster if you like i in glsd to be in a filibus ter if its purpose is to guard those principles of democracy and oar dem ocratic institutions those are what we want to uphold in the years to come when 1 look scross st the minister i cannot help remembering that on a many occasions he hss been more than good to me i regard him most highly 1 hsve the highest respect for him but my sense of constitulonsl right my sense of parliamentary right my sense of parliamentary free dom must slwsys override any person al feelings thst i msy hsve i think that the minister himself and surely hon members sitting oppo site when looking over this bill must realize thst in giving themselves these very wide powers they sre taking on s tremendous responsibility so greet that i would hardly think any one minister or sny one group would want to take it on these powers sre very wide as a mstter of fact if this bill pssirs and these powers sre gran ted for sn indefinite period certain phsscs of our parliamentary govern ment will have passed sws will be gone entirely the minuter could go out and take over any business in this country thst he wished to tske oer he could tskc over the rsitroads he could take over the hydroelectric power facilities he could tske over sny private industry he could take over the press snd 1 should think they would be greatly si srmed sbout thst becsuse sfter sll they hsve been the grest proponents of freedom in this nstion we wel come thst snd that is whst it should slwsys be hut these things can be done in addition to that he can or der any person that he should choose not he himself with his psrticulsr and peculiar ability but anyone he choo ses to go into sny industry to msnsge thst industry but the dreadful part be responsible to the former owner of it all ia that person will not snd will not be responsible sctuslly to snyonc certainly he would not be responsible to the people or to their elected representatives to my mind thst sets a very bad example it acts s very bsd cxsmple to canadian business snd to canadian institutions in the method of carry ing on our institutions i suppose it will be ssld that recourse could be taken to the courts in an action ag ainst the crown but every hon mem ber here psrticulsrly those who ad here to the law profeasion know how foolish and how impassible it is to take action against the crown you do not get very far in any action ag ainst the crown then i say with the greatest defer ence thst the miniater and- the whole government would be laid open to pressure from different groups after all we are onlyehuman beings and thia pressure possibility is one of the dan gerous aspects of thla bill somebody might want more steel or something else and he would come to the con troller or the person in control to get his steel then of course he would feel he mutt make a large return at certain timet human nature being what it is that it the tort of thing which make our parliamentary prac tices corrupt and improper we are here in this democratic country today with our democratic institutions and we ahould be able to show the world that we are able to carry on that we are able to move through free enter prise through the freedom of man to think and to do and to glva of our very beat i want to take issue at this moment with those to the left of me it it im proper and unfair to make any sug gestions that la the korean war 04 to the first and aaooad great wart any any group of persons that is not true w know the leaders of indus try and men working in industry from the very top to the very bottom gsv the very beat of everything they had to the winning of this war and supported the men and women who went out and fought on the frouts for us who fought for that particular freedom for which i am apetking in this house today i should like to ssy to you mr speaker and to every hon member of this house and to the poplc of canada that i do not intend to go home to my constituency and tell the people some 55000 people thst 1 for one moment sllowed myself to give in in any way to procrastinate or to hav any doubts as to where i stand be i stand for the trie parliamentary institutions of this na tion they have been with us for hundreds ef years and t is my pride that i could play seme part in main taining it i intend to vote for them to be with 0 for many more ses sions for that reason i cannot and will not be found supporting s bill
