DENNY VAUGHAN SHOW, who learned to sew at her local sewing The government has estimated re- cently that Canada's economy will continue to expand during 1957 but the rate of growth will be down sub- stantially from the peak rush of 1956. Inflationary pressures are expected to ease towards the latter part of the year and those who have the informa- tion say that, in turn, could lead to a relaxation in Federal credit curbs and tight money policy. Spending is esti- mated to increase for pipelines, hydro power, factories, shops, schools, hos- ¢ | pitals 'and churches, The major an- ticipated reduction cutting into the ex- pansion is in house building, where spending is expected to drop by $292,000,000. The most important matter under + | speculation and discussion in this pre- sent Session of Parliament is the Old Age Pension. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the Federal Gov- ernment has agreed on the principle of improving Old Age Pensions but no announcement has been made on this matter up to the present time. It is felt that consideration by the Federal Government should include all pen- sion groups, such as blind pensioners, disabled, persons, veterans, widows living on disability pensions, and war veterans' allowances.

Gainsborough Report From Parliament By Michael Starr, M.P,, Ontario Riding Observers here are convinced that the General Election may come much earlier than the June date which has been generally expected. The display of tempers in the House of Commons \ and the exchange across the floor dur- ing the Question periods, which are held daily at the opening of each sitt- ing, are responsible for the new un- certainty. The Prime Minister is ex- periencing some difficulty in keeping his anger under control. The theory at the moment is that if the lengthy barrage of questions continue for long he may blow up and call a snap clee- tion without warning. The possibility of an carly dissolution of this Parlia- "ment under such circumstances is real enough, None of the parties have as yet completed their election preparations: but the Opposition par- ties are satisfied that they are now as ready as they ever will be, so the policy of "needling" during the ques- tion period will continue. is some likelihood that Mr. leader of the There Diefenbaker, the new to make the question of Senate Reform a bigger election heen at any time since the late W. I Mackenzie King used it with much success. Mr. Diefenbaker is known to have endeavoured to institute greater use of this Senate reform issue a num- ber of years ago but he was not able to sell the idea to others. The Government, through its Agri- cultural Price Support Board, is buy- ing eggs early this year in an attempt to prevent further price declines. This policy wis made clear in the House of Commons a few days ago in answer to Opposition Members' questions about declines in egg prices in recent weeks. In the Dominion Bureau of Statistics Bulletin dated February 8th, it has been noted that new residential hous- ing units built last year reached a record total of 185,700. This was an increase of six percent over 1956. Per capita weekly wages and sala- ries in industry reached a new. high average figure of $66.22 at November 1st, 1956. This was 15 cents higher than a month earlier and $4.25 above the average at November 1st, 1955. According to the latest figures re- leased, as of January 1st, 1957, Can- ada's population rose to an estimated 16,344,000--an increase of 516,000 over the corresponding date in 1950. The total number of immigrants ar- riving in Canada during 19566 was 164,857. This constitutes the greatest fy number of post-war arrivals since yl 19563. . Henge IVs An official of the Dominion Bureau 1b i of Statistics stated that the population / yi) increase during 1957 will probably be as much or perhaps more than the in- crease last year. If we had a similar | increase during 1957, it would place E our total population by next January at t about 16,870,000. everra little higher if immigrantion ex- ceeds last year's total. At this rate we should have a population in this SES where atound 17 million. A Supply Motion was introduced by | the Government on Monday, F ehruayy | 11th, The purpose of the Supply Motion was to introduce for discussion and eventual passing the Estimates of a number of gbvernmental depart- ments. It affords an opportunity to introduce an amendment to the Motion and this amendment is usually one of non-confidence., The Progressjve Con- servative Party, who are the official Opposition, introduced an amendment calling for immediate adoption of a national development policy. This policy is being supported by the C.C.F. and Social Credit Members of the Houge of Commons, It - NOW IS THE TIME! Progressive Conservative Party, plans |» issue than it has This could be country by the summer of 1968 some- | feel that these pensions should be sub- stantially increased because of the high cost of living, it whether the Government will consider the matter in this light since they must also consider tax cuts in the in- come tax field. It calls for more processing of raw materials in Canada, reduction of Can- ada's unfavourable balance of trade, and a wider participation by Cana- dians in resources development and greater job opportunities for our grow- ing population. Mr. Diefenbaker in leading off this debate stated that he found it strange that so far the Government showed only condemnation for the agricultural recommendations of the Gordon Roy- al Commission, which last year was regarded as the chart and compass for Canada's next twenty-five years;=: During the past week an opportunity presented itself in a perjod set aside for grievances for a member of the Opposition to criticize the Government for withholding the announcement of the increase of these pensions purely for politican gain. Whatever pressure may be put on the Government at the moment to reveal their intentions it is doubtful if they will do so before the Budget is brought down, at which time it is expected these increases and re- ductions in taxes will be announced. This amendment was voted on on Tuesday evening and was defeated by the overwhelming majority of the Liberal Members.
