Report From QensPark Alex Carrutiiers, MP.P., Durham I'ie Supremary of Parliament The 4th' session of the 28th Parlihnent of Ontario lias already felt the impact of the firm no- nonsense policy of the Honour- able William D)avis, the new, Prime Minister. Thiis policy was made very ev- ident in the definite and clearly outlined proposais for legisiation in the Speech from the Throne, ln the reorganization of the cab- inet, ana ln a major re-shuffling of the top civil, servants. The most significant example of Mr. Davis' firmness of policy, however, came recently when attempts were (Jhis week fhen attenmpts were made to weaken the powers of Parl ament. Our parliamentary systemn elec- ted by the voters did not blossom overnight, but grew from ýroots that strike deép into the tradi- tions and customs, and have sur- vived many storms.

RECREATION'TIP Over one-third of ail the vie- tims of boating accidents last year in Ontario wereg fishermen, and a higli percentage of these fatal accidents occurred during the spring months when the wa- ter ivas cold. One of the greatest safety - de- vices to overcome boating fatali- tics, is the life preserver.

Davis not only indicates bis abil- ity te lead, but also assures dur- ing bis terni of office that Par- lialnentary Gôvernment will bie iaaintained and strengthened. Speech" of Saxon Kings with. their wise men finds its counter- part today ini the spe 'ech from the I brone, the addlress in reply, and the debatïs that follow. The Thrcne Speech, which out- uines the government's proposais for legisiation, is an important feature in the operation of Parl.ia- -1 ment, and its proposed elimîna- - tion by the leader of the oppo- *~sition in bis address in reply to catcd the changing attitude of the speech a fcw days ago mndi- some groups to the parliament- ary system. A more serious indication of this changing attitude was the attempt last week to place la the hands of a ;standing committee, comprising some nîneteen mem- bers,' powers presently held by the legisiature. iAssesion onamtion byMr. lAssesinlar amtiowasyMd. TmReid, education critie -for the opposition, to empower the stand- igcommittee with independent powers of investigation similar tthe Congressional Committees in the U.S.A. The motion at that time wn defeated by a vote of the legislature, and' when the samne motion was introduced in the~ early days of this session, it was again rejected. At the organ- ization meeting of the Human Re- sources Committee last week, however, the motion waLs again introduced and approved by mem- bers of tiie Committee who were' present. The terms of reference govern- ing standing committees, clearly states, however that such com- mittees are empowered to, deal only with matters referred to them, by the legislature, and as firmly stated by the Prime -Min- ister, the action taken by the committee was completely out of order. The Standing Committees of the legislature play a very im- portant role in parliamentary Govem~ment by reviewing I.egis- lation, recommendîng amend- ments thereto, and by examniîng departments referred to them. At no time, however, should they have the power to assume the rights of parliament itself which is the one body responsible to the people. Investigation powers are grant- ed to, select comm'.'ttees or to Royal Commissions through terms of referente, granted by the leg- isiature and their findîngs are re- ported back to, the legisiature in the form of a reportupon which future legisiation may be. based, These committees or commissions sit for perciods of many months, and operate between sessions of the legislature. Regardless of cir- cumstances it would be impos- sible for standing committees to, assume investigation powers be- Two Groups Share Bowling Hoenours A group of ladies from Orono and a group from Kendal have shared the top honours in the Newcastle Ladiies Bowling league this year.
