® 'Report from Parliament By Michael StraM, P., Ont. Riding The new Housing Act: -has been gis] ven 8rd reading in the House of Com. _: mons and has been passed on to the Senate for approval, which should be a matter of formality, i A great deal of time "spent on this Act by the Standing Committee on Banking and' Conary? who heard evidence from various people and ' groups in connection with the differ- - ent aspects of the Act.* During the past wébk we have had under discussion tHe Canada Bank Act. Certain amendments are being intro- duced by the Minister of Finance to this Act and amongst these is a pro- vision complementing the amendment to the National Housing Act, permit- ting banks to make loans on the #e- curity of secured mortgages. The C.C.F. Party moved an amend- ~ ment to this Act that in the opinion of this House consideration should be given to the national Swnership -and public contro] of the chartered banks. A very heated and serious discussion followed this amendment by the C.C. ~F, Pay: It was charged by all other PXrties in the House that this "amendment was the surest way to desroy confidence abread in the Cana- _dian economy. Needless to say it was ." defeated--by a vote of 171 to 21, This Bill now" goes to the Standing Committee on Banking and Commerce for their study and reception of briefs ~-- in respect to it. The 'Criminal Code is undergoing minute study by the House of Com- mons, who are taking this Act section by section. In the 'majority, these | sections are being 'passed by the | House. Some sections, however, which are of a contentious nature, 'are laid aside for a full-dress debate at a later date, with amendments which will be introduced to .endeavour to modify them. Bite SIR _The Criminal Code is also being studied in Committee, which-is enter- taining hearings by individuals as well as groups who may have some objection to certain sections of the Code. An endeavour is being made to pass the Code this Session but it is not likely that it will be passed be. fore another month, The Govérnment will likely enter the new butter production year next May with the" biggest unsold butter stockpile in price-support history. The surplus at the end of the current but. ter year, April 30th, may range bes twaen 30 and 356 million pounds. This will be the biggest surplus since the .Government's price-support program started in 1948. The previous high« est' surplus was in 1949, when {t reached 20 million pounds. In 19563 we had the .second largest creamery butter production of all time and this amounted to 303 million pounds. This large production will add greatly to the Government's disposal problems.

He has been content to intimate that in his view it is coming at some unde- fined time in the not-too-far-distant future -- that a Federally-backed healthiinsurance plan is*inevitable be- cause of the unfortunate 'limitations of voluntary schemes now in effect. But so far, all the Government will admit to is "long-term" planning in this field, Actually, veluntary health insur- ance schemes already take in a lar- ger percentage of the population than is generally: recognized--and are still expanding rapidly: - By the end of 1052, five and one:half million Cana- dians were covered by hospital ex- pense insurance; four million by sur- gical expense insurance.and three mil- lion by medical expense insurance.
