The belief is wrong. The job of an opposition is to raise hell with the government. If or when an opposiâ€" tion ceases to do that, when its members_ become obsessed with "responsibility," when theg all want to become statesmen before their job of opposition is ended, then an opposition is in a bad way." Mr. Macinnis follows the quotation by stating that there is no danger of the opposition at Ottawa ever becoming statesmen Snd CaTp VC IVOGEE WHEUS Thus we build up those notorious cloaini days, when Parliament has been known to vote millions of dollars a minute in order to clean up and prorogue. Indirectly, it has a fourth effect â€"useful to Governments in power, but hardly in the public interest. It helps to drag out the session so that really important measures, brought in later on, get through with less scrutiny and less chalâ€" lenge. The members are bored and anxious to be home; the public, sgually b‘orgd_ , no longer cares. Toâ€"day, party strength is known from the moment the ballots are counted. If members desert the party under which they were elected, they do so not on a decision like the vote on the Address, but in the heat of conflict over a parâ€" ticular contentious measure. So the longâ€"drawn debate on the Address has only three practical effects: It Lgvu private members a chance to blow off steam and to be quoted in their local newsâ€" papers; it gives the Government time to set up its program of legis- lation and "try it on the dog" at party caucuses; it dulls the interâ€" est of the general Hpuhlic in the proceedings of the House.

During the last session of Parâ€" liament the Conservatives. advoâ€" cated a wide range of additional expenditures totalling an estimated one thousand million dollars. At the same time t:x:g proposed that income taxes be reduced; that radio license fees be eliminated and later that indirect taxes be lowered. This admixture of Conservative proposals for increased expendiâ€" tures and lowered taxation would amount to a fifteen hundred million dollar shortage. When challenged for an explanation of how it would be made they failed to offer a single concrete solution. It would appear that we‘are having the samelack of responsible opposiâ€" tion ‘during the present session. the House voted 180 to 6 for the government control policy and not gl_)lel Conservative voted against the ill. During the 1947 session of Parâ€" liament, one of the most important bills provided for the continuation of certain essential wartime conâ€" trols during the transition period. For six weeks the Conservative opsosition criticized price controls and demanded complete relaxation denouncing controls as dangerous doctrines and a detriment to g‘ro- duction. At the end of the debate It is the recognized duty of the opposition to make effective and responsible criticism of governâ€" mental measures vital to the public welfare. By this standard has the official opposition in our House of Commons _ accepted | its responâ€" sibility. For example, when the government introduced the Family Allowances Bill in 1944, Conservaâ€" tive opposition talked for days against the measure and then, with o?e_t' exception, voted in !nvour‘ of i same for feeaing his own cattle but was given to persons who bouiht the grain for feeding stock.

The Minister of Finance points out that in the gerlod in question the value of the goods imported has increased t:fproxx- mately 40%. In view of this it is difficult to see how an increase of 10% would have" discouraged buying. ‘ There has been considerable criticism of the action of the government in withdrawing t)m‘ subsidy given on coarse grains.
