SE RAPER aT By Michael Starr, M.P. Sept. 2, 1964 In the past few years Ottawa has adopted a cosmopolitan at- mosphere, like all national ca-! pitals. On frequent occasions it has received interesting and colourful personalities. During the past week we have been hosts to the Common- wealth Educational Conference, This Conference has brought to Ottawa representatives from all countries of the Common- wealth. They are people of various colours, wearing col- ourful costumes peculiar to their countries. To mark the occasion flags of the countries represented have been flying on Parliament Hill. This is the third such Con- ference ever held. Its purpose is to exchange views, better understanding of each other, and also discussions are con- ducted on the educational prob- lems faced by each country. Canada has stated that she would mot only continue her contributions of scholarships and general assistance to the countries emerging into self- overnment, but that new scholarships will be added. This offer will enable the people from these countries to receive further education in our Cana- Report From Parliament is that they may return to their own countries and improve the educational standards of their people. Unfortunately, the 250 scholarships Canada provided three years ago have never all been taken up. Most Canadians will agree that aid of this kind is most; essential to create better un- derstanding between the many races in the Commonwealth. Every Friday a few hours are devoted by the Government to consideration of the estim- ates of various departments. Recently the estimates of the new Department of Industry were presented for Parliament's consideration. This is a new! Department created within the past year. It has now in its employ a staff of some 290 and anticipates increasing this total to 645 employees. Out of this total some 267 will receive salaries from $8,000 per annum to $25,000 per annum. It is interesting to note that this new department which is being created to assist Indus- try in general, has built up its budget to almost 25 million dollars in this short space of time of only one year.

This space provides space for 119 private offices. As one of the functions of this Department, it has the re- sponsibility of stimulating areas of slow economic growth and high unemployment. To do this, it intended originally to encourage industry to establish in these areas. So far, no in- dustries have established in these areas, although the Min- assures the House that many industries have been making enquiries. It remains to be seen whether a department with so many em- ployees, and costing the tax- payers of Canada a huge sum of money, will be worthwhile and whether it will bring about the result for which it was set up. Many industries are won- dering what the function of this Department is, and what it will be in the future.
