E, Pose 6 Fridey, Decembsr 23, 1960 - Long-Term Measures Don't Explain Haste The first reaction to Finance Minister Fleming's "baby budget" can only be puzdiement. Why wes it necessary 10 imroduce this interim budget now, when the annus! budget could be presented within two or three months? Whet had been expected measures thet might give business and employment a fairly quick lift, but whet we gt were longtehge measures de- signed to encourage expansion of Cana- dian industry and discourage continued large-scale inflow of foreign capital, The were measures themselves will require careful study before comment can be made on the possible effectiveness, but one is still left wondering about the government's desire to introduce them before Christ mas when they could have been included in the regulsr budget package not long after Christmas Mr, Fleming may provide more in- formation later on the foréign debt policy has are designed to reduce the volume of sketched this week, The measures foreign capital entering the country both for direct investment and through bor- rowing by provinces, municipalities and corporations by raising the withholding tax on the resulting interest and dividend payments abroad from between zero and five per cent to 15 per cent, At the same time. other measures would encourage investment by Canadians, We would have expected some dis tinction between foreign capital used for business expansion in Canada and thet imported in the form of loens for capital works by municipal and provincisl gove ernments, While it is true thet Ameris cans and others own & very large part. of Canadian industry, it is also true thet Canada's development would not have been nesrly so rapid without their ine vestment, The loans are another matter, being direct debt, but here again one would have thought that a more imaging- tive solution to the problem could heave been reached Municipalities and provinces borrowed United States largely obtain in the because they there much more favorable interest rates, Could not some for could means have been devised loans within Canada to such borrowers st rates those in the that with think at least competitive United States? We solution is possible such a Unseemly Divorce Bill The House of Commons, acting with unseemly haste, has moved to divest it- self It has ap- bill that the of its divorce business proved a private member's shift to the Benate entire would responsibility for granting parliamentary divorces This bill is simply a miserable expe. dient to rid the Commons of a distasteful and time-wasting task, No responsible member could feel easy in his conscience about the mass production of divorce bills, but the can in no way ease the pangs of cons measure now approved cience, All that the members have done is to shove the whole dirty mess into the laps of the poor old senators, In other words, Parliament itself a divorce mill, What needs to be done is for Parliament to quit the divorce business entirely, to put that business in the courts, where it belongs remains There are grave doubts about the constitutionality of the bill, What it does, in effect, is give the Senate authority to pass legislation without the approval of the Commons, It thus establishes a violation of Once this principle is embedded in precedent, principle that is in direct the constitution, in our opinion, the Commons could proceed to load the with all itself of the corresponding responsibility, Senate sorts of tasks and rid It is through devices such as this that the constitution comes into disrepute, and once that happens we are on the road to anarchy, Even if doubt there were no constitutional the bill, it violation of parliamentary responsibility about would be a == even when, as in this case, the measure is a convenience to be introduced at the start of each session, This shedding of responsibility is an unfortunate trend in government, with executive and legis. lative branches sll too ready to shift to commissions and decisions boards, similar agencies that have no direct responsibility to the electorate, The divorce business should not be a responsibility of Parliament, But as long as it is, Parliament as a whole must bear it, not just one body or group. Canada Gets A Plug Some pretty harsh things are being said Canada by Americans angered by our willingness to trade with Cuba, One of. the interesting things about most of these outhursts is the the to which even some well-informed Americans have taken Gada for granted and regarded it as something of a large friendly pup about these days revelation of extent that is playful at times but will always obey when his master's voice becomes stern But there are other Americans with quieter voices and more discerning minds, who have a better understanding of the many difficult problems which now face Canadians, There is the follow the St Post.

But this session, he hes found his tongue, and found that it is not embarrassingly halting, but sin cere and persuasive There were three reasons for the undue length of ast session First: The Government pow is expected to interfere over such an ever-hroadening range of the citizen's private lie that it is swamped with unpre business, The waste and hu cost of the weliare state, finally halenced owt by tex de. ductions and band-outs, would make the subject for a revealing work most The other two reasons have be n repeatedly mentioned in bis column: The unduly proe tracted "question period" pt the opening of each dey's sitting, and the flagrant bre of the rules ecading of long prepared speeches CHAIR TRIES TO RULE Speaker Michener now is some- times cracking down on MPs who ask orsl questions which are pot true "matters of urgent ne- tionsl importance and which shoudl therefore nol he permitted to take up the time of the House But the reading of speeches is still tolerated In this, I return to the topic of the MP from Oksnagan-Bound ary. David Pugh has made three more than pe § this session he last session, and as many & any other hack-hench member, Each has been a val- uable contribution to the debate each has heen a speech, com: posed ps he spoke--not read Fach brief, since most "speakers" find that they con express all their original thoughts in a8 few minutes whereas If a politician prepares a text which he plans to read, he always aris with the ides of fashioning it to fill the maximum permitted time From the eminence of the Press Gallery, raised high shove the Speaker's chair in the House has been of Commons, we see [ar more of the chamber as look down on Parliament than can any MP on the floor.
