QUESTIONS OF PRIVILEGE _ ARE RAISED BY OPPOSITION Government's Answer Criticized by Hipel and Form of Inquiries Objected To by Premier and Finlay-- son--Relief W ork Queries Fired by Earl Hutchin-- son and T. P. Murray * Yesterday the Minister stated Mr. Hutchinson was confusing two mat-- ters that were entirely distinct. Describing various methods of relief work, the Minister stated, the letter referred to a system not employed during the present year. Another question of privilege was raised by N. O. Hipel (Liberal, Waterloo South). Mr. Hipel's criti-- cism was directed toward Government Ma.tc\\ j answers to Opposition questions, and he asked whether certain questions would be answered before the Budget was brought down, claiming the Op-- position could not intelligently dis-- cuss that document without the in-- formation. tions were being ahswered as rapidly as possible and declared the form of certain inquiriee had caused much trouble to the departments. In the case of two specific instances men-- tioned by the Liberal member, the Premier countered that one would re-- quire time and work in the depart-- ment. Mr. Hipel returned to the charge with the second question, in-- volving highways, and intimated that Parliam>ntary ruling required an answer. From this the Premier strongly dissented, but Hon. Leopold Macaulay promised to try and bring the in-- formation down in short order. Later the form of certain ques-- tions was criticized by the Premier and Mr. Finlayson. T. P. Murray (Liberal, Renfrew South) presented a complaint charg-- ing that men working on the roads near Calabogie have not received pay in two months. Mr. Finlayson asked Mr. Murray to provids him with the latter containing the complaint.
