SV r - - PAGE 1GTw Durham County Nember in Address Before Oshawa Kinsmen Club Tells How Bouse of Commons Clicks An outline ai bow the Federal House of Commons operates and ai the duties that a Member ai Parliament la expected ta per- farm, was given ta members af the Oshawa Kinsmen Club and their guests at the Press and Ra- dia Appreciation Night meeting held in the Hotel Genosha, Osh- awa, hast Thursday night, by John M. James, M.P. for Durham Rid- ing. Mr. James first gave his listen- ers an idea ai the fear and trepid- ation with whicb a newly-elected Member ai Parliament gives bis maiden speech in the House. He then went on ta explain the duties ai an M.P. which, he saicd, were many and onerous. 0f course, each member pretty wehl defines the extent and imits of bis own activities," he assert- ed. "Bot each bas in any event, the need.s ai bis constituency ta look aiter, bis position in bis party ta maintain, bis views on national problems ta assert and his personal views ta put for- ward ta bis colleagues for consid- eration. "He receives daily many letters requiring bis attention. These aiten necessitate interviews witb Government officiais. Me bas parliamentary committees ta at- tend as weil as frequent caucuses af own party. Me must receive constituents and delegations. Hel must be prepared ta speak when cailed upon. Me must therefore keep iniormed with respect ta all pending legisiation. These added ta bis daihy attendance in parlia- ment from 2.30 in the aiternoan until 10 at nigbt. make him a very busy main, especially if be is aisa trying ta kccp a business gaing back home at the same time. -I sornetime wonder whether aur people in general reahh.v ap- preciate the work wbîch falîs ta the lot ai an average member ai parliarncnt. And with very rare exception, that work is conscien- tiousiy and thoroughly perform- cd. "We in Canada bave today a wonderful parliamentary system, possibly the best the world has produced. It is by no means per- fect and is constantly being im- proved. It is flexible, yet gives plenty of appartunity for complete discussion of any problem. Whern something bas ta be done in a hurry, it can be done. And for everything that is done, there iis someane, the gaverniment, tc blame it on and ta be responsible for the legisiatian. True, we may seem ta waste a great deal ai time in useless anai lengthy de- bate at times. But, it is ane af the pnices we pay for free speech and, in the long run, may nat be a bad thing. A Complex Machine Today, Parliament at Ottawa is becoming a'camplex machine for any member of Parliament ta understand fully. As we are graw- ing. You can imagine what I mean when I tell you that during the past weeks, practically every day committees have been meet- ing ta discuss the uses af atomnie energy, defence expenditures, r.-ilway and airplane activities, external affairs, postal problems, fishing an aur coasts, the revision of the criminal code. and-many other subjects - meeting at the same time the House is going strang on ather legislation ai ane kind and another. And we are supposed ta know what went an at ail those affairs and in the House tao. "One thing we members do learn in Ottawa - and much af this information cames from con- 1 versation with other representa- tives from right across Canada. We get a truly amazing picture af this country's expansion and development, That in itself is a subject suitable for several speeches and I only touch upon it briefly. 'However, there is one prab- hem which is also becornng very clear and ,was, indeed, outlined by Donald Gardon at the railway committee recently. ln many res- pects, aur standard af living and aur demands for even better tbings, are reaching the point where, one af these days we may find ourselves priced rigbt out af many export markets, and indeed aur damestic ones. Already, we are receiving many requests for higher tariffs ta offset foreign campetition. Mr. Gardon suggest- ed that we should sit dawn and on aIl levels management, labor and government, study this situa- tion ta try ta came ta a solution. As a gavernment, it is very dif- ficult ta seli aur exports abraad and at the same time, apply suf- ficiently high tariffs sa other countries cannot ship their pro- ducts ta us. Try To Understand "*I would ask, in conclusion, that you as service club members, as members ai the press and ra- dio, give thought ta Parliament's problems with a view ta trying ta understand that your parliamen- tary representatives are not just interested in votes as some peo- ple seem ta think. They are try- ing ta do a job they've been elect- ed ta do for Canada, its people and its future. And, if you think your member is flot doing a good job for some reason or other, find it convenient.
