Feb. 23/66 The longest Session in his- tory resumed again on Tues- day, February 16, 1965, after adjourning on December 18th, 1964. The day previous, on Monday, February 15, 1965, the Red Ensign was lowered and the new flag was raised. So we now have a new flag for Can- ada. Some accepted the flag with jubilation, others were saddened when the Red Ensign was lowered. The decision has been made and we must accept it, regardless of whether we approve the design, or colour, of our National emblem. The Session started with questions of privilege of two members. One, by the Minister without Portfolio, who was fired from the Cabinet. Am. other, by a French-Canadian member, who was arrested on Parliament Hill, ail protested because the summons he was presented with was not in French. He claimed also that he was lodged in an Ontario to the Standing Committee on Privileges .and Elections, for their consideration and report. We in the Conservative Party endeavoured to move the ad- journment of the House, to dis- cuss and provide the opportun- ity for the Prime Minister and the Government to clear away some of the worry and doubts in the minds of the people re- scandals in Government circles. The Speaker ruled against u and we proceeded with other business. : Questions on various matters were posed to the Government "and answers were received to many and no information on Church -Services ANGLICAN CHURCH OF ASCENSION Rev, James S.

When questioned as to what action the Government is taking to deal with some half a million unemployed, there was no answer from the Gov- ernment. The plan of the Government for the balance of this Session is to deal with the Labour Code, the Pension Plan, the opting- out legislation, and a number of minor bills, When that is completed a mew Session will be proceeded with, without delay. ~ The Labour Code has now been passed. This Code applies to those Canadians who are employed in industries that come under Federal jurisdic- tion, It provides for a 40-hour week, & minimum hourly rate of $1.25, two weeks vacation after the first year, or 49% of the yearly wage, and eight paid statutory holidays during the year, The Act will come into effect on July 1st of this year. As far as the 40-hour week is concerned, industry may apply for an 18 month deferment. During . this period they ean again apply for a further defer- ment. On the second application a Commission of Inquiry would be set up and upon their report the Minister may, by Order-in- Council, extend this period still further, or he may cancel an existing arrangement by the same procedure. March 3rd/65 Thousands of Canadians were very disappointed when their 8 | orders for mint set coins, placed at the beginning of this year, were returned to them. The ex- cuse was that the sets were over-subseribed. The Members of Parliament queried the Min- ister of Finance on this matter, asking him to explain why Canadian collectors were refus- ed their orders for the 1965 Canadian coin series and why was a situation created that these coins were offered for sale at exorbitant rates by col- lectors from the United States, 'who somehow were able to have their orders filled. . The Minister of Finance re- plied by stating that mo one should pay more than $4.00 per set and that everyone would be able to get them as soon as production caught up with the demand. This he intimated would be in a matter of a few months, An attempt to extract from the Government an undertaking that the $500 bonus on winter- built homes would be extended beyond March 31st failed, as the Government is not prepared to give such an undertaking at this time. A similar request was made regarding the Muni- cipal Winter Works program, but this too was unsuccessful as the Government was not prepared to give any assurance that it would do so. The Canada Pension Plan re- ceived a very thorough study by the Special Committee and the House of Commons, A sup- plement was ddded by the Government in a statement that old age pensioners will be re- ceiving the pension beginning next January{=¢966, those who kave reached the age of 69. The following year, that is January, 1967, the pension will be paid to those who have reached the age of 68, and so cn, until by 1970, everyone reaching age 65, will be entit- led to the full amount of $75 or more, in adidtion, of course, to the Canada Pension plan bene- fits, which will then be available to newly retiring people. The maximum Canada Pen- sion after contributing for 10 years will be $104 per month at the age of 65 years. In ad- dition, the Old Age Pension of $756 or more will also be pay- able. This would mean a total amount of $179 per month &r nore. The Government is now being pressured by the opposi- tion parties to increase the Old Age Pension from $76 to $100 per month. The only differ- ence is that some feel it should Le paid from General Taxation, while others feel it should be paid from the contributions to the Canada Pension Plan, The Government is non-com- mittal at the moment, except that they have announced that Old Age Pensions will be in- creased on the basis of the cost of living, commencing January, 1668. This increase could a- mount to 75 cents a month but not more than $1.50 per month. The Canada Pension Plan will have received third reading in the House of Commons when this column is published. It will then go to the Senate for their approval and Royal As- sent, The contributions will com- mence in January, 1966 and will" 'be "collected from most Canadians, with the exception of some two and a half million Canadians who are not covered by this Plan.
