One of the questions frequently asked by visitors to the House of Commons Galleries is "Where are all the Members"? This is a very reasonable query on the part of anyone who his been led to beâ€" lieve by press reports that Membâ€" ers of Parliament are notorious in their absenteeism of their Parâ€" liamentary duties. There have been some very negative and destructive articles in certain newspapers in connection with this whole question of attendance in the House of Commons. The inâ€" ference expressed in these articl es is that if a Member is not in his seat in the House of Comâ€" mons he must obviously be out skylarking around on personal business and pleasure. A n interesting thing about these destructive comments that have appeared in the press is that the renresentatives of the nress in the House of Commons Pross Gâ€"lerv number approximâ€" atelv. 110 and many times during the course of a day the press galâ€" lery is completely deserted with the excention ef two or three reâ€" presentatives. 1 have every reaâ€" son to believe that the rest of the members of the press gallery »re busv bock in their offices oreâ€" n~â€"ring news stcries. me~tin@ dead Bv necessty, my own attend: ance in the 4ouse of Commons is eâ€"<or~al and better than averace This is made nnseible by the fact that because of the nature of my Cuties as Government Whin. I serve on only one Standing Comâ€" mittee of the House and we meet evory Wednesday nmoon when the Fouse is not sitting. However ccher members of the Governâ€" mer«, and this spplies to Opposâ€" iUon Groups as well, serve on anvwhere from four to seven ©:ind‘ng Committees of the Pouse. These Committees meet while the Hcuse is in session, sometimes as often as three times a day. This Committee work must n~ring news stories, mo~"ng dead "nes interviewing MMombers of Porliâ€"ment. etc., etc. If this were pot the case there would be very U"le news . trickling out _ of OHawa. #a on in order to feed the House of Commons the results of their Coliberations <nd for Pariiament‘s fin~l anproval. As a small effort to correct an unfortunate or calcuiated impresâ€" sien about Members and their ~*tendance. I list below some of the Standing Committees of the FHouse of Commons with the numâ€" ber of mectings that ‘have been beld in the first session of the 26th Parliament which ran from Mav 16. 1963 to December 21, 1963, as well as figures for the sccond session of the 26th Parliaâ€" ment which started February 18 I hope this information ‘will asâ€" sist you in being informed more fully on this question of House 1964 todate c Commens Attendance Name of Committe and No. of Sessions Agriculture & Colonization 18 Banking and Commerce, 14 Joint Committee on Consnmer Credit 7 Debates 5 Defence, 63 Fstimates, 1 External Affairs, 60 Food and Drugs, 32 Industrial Relations, 1 Marine and Fisheries, 8 Mines.

My only comment about last Friday‘s episode in the House when Speaker Alan Macnaughâ€" ton, applying the rules of the House, was forced to expel a Privy Councillor and former Cabinet Minister is this: No one Lately we have heard reports spawning game fish being taken by various iMegal methods such as spearing and netting and, in some cases, fish such as lake trout have been kept in greater numbâ€" ers than allowed by the game Taws. In our opimon, the lowest form nf sport is the use of a spear to nf sport is the use of a spear to toke game fish If you get a chance. have aclose look at one Ii‘s Your M.P.

BEECH, Notary Public all RO 6â€"4603 has ever been thrown out of the House of Commons for being a decent, bonest and reasonable human being. Under the rules the Speaker had no choice but to name Mr. Hamilton and after the Leader of the Opposition in sisted that the Government move a motion to expel the Member, who is one of Mr. Di?enhater’s front bench colleaghes, the House voted in favour of this motion. It is no great homour to be thrown out of Parliament by one‘s fellow â€" Parliamentarians. The publicity value is doubtful too. In its Report tabled in Parliaâ€" ment last Friday the Royal Comâ€" mission on Health Services preâ€" sented a Health Charter for Canadians as a means of achievâ€" ing the highest possible health standards for all the pbople of Canada. The Commission recommends that the objectives of the Charter be achieved through the developâ€" ment of a comprehensive Health Services Programme universally available to all Canadians regâ€" ardless of age, condition, place of residence or ability to pay. The Programme covers not only Medicare but the whole range of personal health services inâ€" cluding prescribed drugs: dental and optical services for children; organized care of crippled and retarded children; prosthetic and home care programmes. New medical, dental and â€" nursing schools are recommended . to provide the personnel needed to man the Programme. The Commission recommends a complete reâ€"organization and reâ€"orientation of Mental Health Services; , Recommendation No. 29 may be said to keynote the Commission‘s views in the field of Mental Health.

This is an enligtened stateâ€" ment and will, I hope, go far in assisting to bring about a public acceptance of the fact that menâ€" tal illness carries no more stigma or shame than other kinds of sickness. Our highly organized and tense society proâ€" duces strains and tensions uny thought of in the past. Physical strain can produce sore muscles. Nervous and emotional strain can produce sore minds. The recovery is both cases can be complete. I am sure that all those who have worked unselfishly and with dedication over the years in an. effort to achieve better publiq understanding about the nature of mental illness will be cheeredl by this report. Our thanks should go to them for what they have done.
