Mr. Canant advlsed that the pnin- ciple o! the~ bill was flot altered by thbe propased amendments. "The main purpose or e!! oct o! the bill mlàght b. bnlefly'described as malt- ing applicable the laws ln force at the date of death ln determinlng the amount of unpaid duty, interest and penaltiesý which should have been paid."1 Tuhe chief amendinent, according to a comparison o! the bill, wlVh the September measure, is found ln Sec-. tioii 23, which would repeal Section 47 *o! the Old act. Explanation for Section 23, as given in the bill, states, "The purpose of this amend- ment is that the law enforced at the date o! death shah b. the law whlch applies to. the collection of unpald duty, Interest and penalties in aid estate3.", In section 23, it lg believed by aw ýOfficers of the Crown, are re- v1sions which will enable the Trea- sury Department ta collect dues from aid estates accordlng Vo the - 31 eleetion pledges of Premier Hepburn.

This bill applias the 1aw in effcct et the date o! death as Vo iabillty for duty, rates o! duty, exemptions and alliez such moatters without attempting to demi with the v&Udlty o! muchl aws." Mr. Canant Wsal d ldt fot want to give the impression that defeets In ;any o! tht old legislation were admltted or cancoded, Best indica- tion that it 'wu not defective, lie said, lay in the fact that for aven forty years, the respective, Goverix- ments o! the day collected nxany millions o! dollars under that legis- lation..

The Prime Minister said he had no doubt o! the Government's rig-ht to f111 Seriate and other vac- a ncies before the ehection, and in- dlcated he would be making sonie appointmerits shortly.
