AVAL a Rn EIEN ~ AR "AR 8--THE PORT PERRY, STAR, THURSDAY, JUNE 21st, 1956 ! Report From Parliament By Michael Starr, MP. Ont. Riding The great "pipeline debate is now over, 'The result is that the govern- ment passed the bill, and will finance the Trans-Canada Pipelines to .build the western leg of this line from Al- berta to Winnipeg. What the im- pression left with the general public in Canada it remains to be seen in the days to come, and particularly 'when Canadians are called upon to exercise their franchise in electing a govern- went at the next general election, which is expected to be held sometime in 1957. The debate did, however, a- rouse the interest of the people of Canada in a great national issue, and where many people did not even know that parliament was sitting in Otta- wa, they became acutely aware of our presence here and interested them- selves in the issue being evolved in the House of Commons! ' The next order of business imme- diately following the pipeline debate was the motion proposed by the oppo- sition. It was a motion of censure of the Speaker of thé~House of Com- mons, in particular regarding a"re- versal of a decision in respect to a - motion proposed during the heat of debate. This motion of censure was of course defeated by the government. A few anxious days were experien- ged. by the government on interim gupply since it was running close to he deadline for civil service and army pay-and the funds of the government were depleted to the extent that these obligations could not be met. The whole matter posed a difficult prob- lem. However, this was overcome when the opposition parties agreed to gllow the government sufficient funds to operate for another month with the assurance that the business now be- "fore the House Will be proceeded with rather than adjourning parlinment and reconvening{ in the fall of this year in order to consider particularly the estimates of the various depart- ments of the government. The result is that parliament will sit well into the month of July in order to properly complete the business before the House. One. of the outstanding departments still to be considered is the Depart- ment of National Defence which spends in the neighborhood of $2 bil- lon per year. A fulldress debate is expected to be launched when the es- timates of this department are pre- sented to the House for its considera- tion. It is expected the opposition will direct an attack on the inadéqua- cies of this department in its efforts to provide sufficient protection against any formidable attack. There have been but a few depart- ments considered up to date. The opposition, during the pipeline debate, challenged the government to go to the people, who would be given an opportunity to decide whether the is- sue of this pipeline and the course followed by the government were in the best interets of the people of Canada. The government, however, sidestepped this challenge, and it looks as though the probability of an elec- | tion this year is now gone. This will give the government an opportunity to counteract any dissension that may exist in the minds of the people of Canada and, most important, it will present it with an opportunity to bring down a budget next spring that will greatly benefit the taxpayers of this country. About two weeks ago, the House had the pleasure of listening to the President of Indonesia who appeared before both Houses and gave an ex- cellent address. In his speech, he outlined the ideals and aspirations of approximately 82 million people liv: fng on 3000 islands which form the country of Indonesia. . These people, until recently; have been living under conditions of colonization. Now that they have attained their sovereignty, they are making great strides in their standards of Tiving, and particularly in education. Prior to the attainment of their sovereignty, less than 209, of the people had any education at all. This standard has been raised to such . an extent in the last three years that over 509% of the population have ob- tained some measure of education. It wag indeed very interesting to hear of the progress made by people of whom we hear very little in our every- day lives. * Liberty . is not handed down like the family silver but must be fought |. for and rewon by each new genera- tion. | : --Lucille Milner 5 i Liey oo Mrs. E.
