8--PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20th, 1964 RTS SRR La BLP "WAN. =a EOD RUHL « WAN ach ye 4 A 5 y gy EN He EDA oe Report From Parliament By Michael Starr, M.P. As I write this column, the news that a compromise on the flag debate could not be arrived at, has just been made public by the news media, The Con- servative opposition was quite prepared to agree on all of the proposals put forth, with the exception of the time limit of one week, on the flag debate, in the Fall. Every member of the Conser- vative opposition who had ex- pressed his opinion on this mat- ter, was OJpposed to the one week limit. = They argue that this would deprive many of them from expressing their opinion on the issue. The flag issue was debated during the latter part of June and early July for a period of six days. During that period, 18 Conservatives, 18 Liberals and 3 each from the other three parties in the House partici- pated. Some 45 speeches in total. If the debate is limited to one week, this means that five days would be allocated, Based on the experience of the former six days some 40 members could participate. If the same pattern was followed there would only be sufficient time allotted for 17 Conservatives, 17 Liberals and 2 each from the other three parties. From 'the Conservative view- point, only 35 of their members would have the opportunity to participate. This' would mean that some 60 other members of the Conservative party would be deprived of their right to express their stand on this im- portant issue. The government eventually responded to the questions ask- ed by the Official Opposition on the debate on interim supply. On the 7th day of the debate, Minister after Minister stood up and answered the criticisms and questions which had been directed at the Government. This is as it should be, when Parliament is asked to consider an expenditure of some 700 million dollars. It is not too much to ask that one day of debate should take place to consider the expendi- ture of 100 million dollars of taxpayers money. Sinee, at the moment it seems obvious that Parliament shall keep sitting in session, the Government has been urged to set off the flag debate and bring forward the Canadian Pension Plan for its' considera- tion by Parliament. The Prime Minister has been adamant and will not consent to this course. He has insisted that the flag, which he has proposed, must receive consideration and pass- age first, before any further legislation will be brought for- ward. That is the position at the moment and a great deal of hard work is in store in the weeks and months ahead.
