Stuart Sinclair Garson (Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada)

Liberal

Hon. Stuart S. Garson (Minister of Justice):

I wish to thank the hon. member for having given me notice of his intention to ask this question. Ordinarily it is not the practice to discuss a particular inquiry at all unless and until a report has been made and published. In this case, however, by reason of representations that were made in this house, I did say that an inquiry would be conducted. As to when a report will be published I can only say it will be published, if possible in the two official languages, within 30 days after it has been made to me, and it has not yet been made to me. As the hon. member is aware, such inquiries are time consuming because they involve an extensive investigation of all the relevant facts. In accordance with the practice, that is all I can and should say at the present time.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

INQUIRY AS TO PLAN TO COVER FISHERMEN


On the orders of the day:


PC

George Randolph Pearkes

Progressive Conservative

Mr. G. R. Pearkes (Esquimalt-Saanich):

May I direct a question to the Minister of Labour having regard to the plans for unemployment insurance coverage for fishermen as announced by the minister on February 5. Will the minister give consideration to allowing contribution's to be made on a seasonal rather than a monthly or weekly basis, as I understand that procedure would be more acceptable both to the industry and the fishermen on the west coast?

Milton Fowler Gregg (Minister of Labour)

Liberal

Hon. Milton F. Gregg (Minister of Labour):

Representations have been received from both those employed on the west coast as fishermen and those who were members of

the fisheries council, who were here the other day. All I can say is to assure my hon. friend their representations are being carefully considered by the officials who are working out the regulations covering unemployment insurance for the fishing industry.
