from the Standing Committee on the Procedures the House of Com mons other words the Debate In respect to Parliamentary Reform The first day the leaders of the parties pre sented their views on this Report and I found it most Interesting and informa tive This view was shared by most far the Generalty speaking all parries appear to be in favour of major Parlia mentary reforms However there are certain points of disagreement the main one being Standing Order which Is concerned with the establishing Proceedings Committee to program waWa dmctdmd to offer masa FREE GIFTS 1969 CHRYSLERS

the House of Commons The Governments position quite simple that if Parliament is deal with the massive legislation required then it must have on the mailers coming before the House and the allotment of time for each lould filibuster the Debate until the Gov ernment enforced closure However in the Debate itself I have yet to hear any member indicate that this is their policy The Government on the hand indicated that they would like with this reform and I feel that It is in the best interest of Parliament and the Canadian people that we do so However I feel that there is room for compromise I have not yet decided whether I will personally participate in the De bate itself and will make that decision within the next few days Fire destroys old school HOLLAND LAND ING Holland Landing Fire
