The reaction of the general public was one of surprise and to some extent a pleasant one, even though it is felt that the reductions were prob- ably not as much as they should have been. The 'automobile dealers in Canada are quite disappointed in the fact that the reduction in the automobile excise tax was not applicable to them and these dealers who had large stocks on hand were forced to take a loss. Re- »| presentations are now being made by the Association of Automobile Dealers for teconsideration on this tax so far as they arle concerned but we have al- ready been assured by the Minister of National Revenue that no consider- ation in this regard will be given. The weather in Ottawa is getting warmer every day and it is a pleasant sight to see the green grass and the crocuses in bloom. A Return tabled 'a short time ago from the Department of Agriculture shows a Government loss of $63,642 in 1052, and an estimated loss of $700, 000 for 1054 in supporting the price of eggs hy the Prices Suppart Board. 'The Government has paved the way for legislation to lower the pension- able age limit for Canada's blind to 18 years, fsom 21, and to increase the permissible pir under which they qualify for pensions. The Resolution, to be followed-by a Bill, was welcomed by spokesmen of all Parties in the Commons, although -some said. the pensionable age should be sixteen years, so that blind teenagers "could begin collecting pensions: when thelr parents could no longer claim family allowances for them. Besides lower- ing the blind pensionable age to 18, 'the measure boosts by $120 a year the pension payments in all categories. This will increase permissible in- comes for single persons without de- pendents to $960 a year from $840; for single persons with dependents to !] $1160 from $1040. For married per- sons where one is blind, tq $1560 from $1320, and for married persons where hoth are blind to $1680 from $1440. The pensions are included in the in- come ceilings. The changes will in- PARLIAMENT crease the Federal blind persons pen- sion bill by about $u50, 000, to some $4,260,000. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind had recommended 18 as the pensionable age and also had urged permissible income to he yaised "to $2000 for married and $1000 for single persons. It had asked a gulding al- lowance of $10 a month. ; Never before in the history of Par- liament have so many committees been tting at one time as there are during the present Session, This is a new experiment which is supposed to help in expediting the. business of the House. To my mind it is a very good one because it gives a closer secutiny of .the Department under consldera- tion as well as of its expenditures for the coming year. It also affords those Members serving on these committees an opportunity to learn how that par- ticular Departnient functions and to question and criticize the methods used. - ) In a recent Dominion Bureau of Statistics Weekly "Bulletin informa- tion is given that 79% fewer new pas- senger cars Jind. one- "third fower new commercial 'vehicles were sold by automotive dealers this February but March production was up- 119 over last year to the highest level since the , spring of 1953.
