June 29, 1965
Hon. J. Watson MacNaught (Solicitor General):
Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Standing Committee on Transport and Communications has referred two bills back to the House for consideration, Bill S-4 and Bill S-5. Could we have unanimous consent to deal with the committee stages of these two bills?
June 25, 1965
Hon. J. Watson MacNaughi (for the Minister of Justice) moved
that the House go into Committee to consider the following resolution:
That it is expedient to introduce a measure to amend the Judges Act to provide salaries for two additional judges of the Supreme Court of Ontario, one additional judge of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick and one additional judge of the County Court of Ontario.
Motion agreed to and the House went into Committee, Mr. Batten in the Chair.

Mr. MacNaughl:
Mr. Speaker, I think it is the desire of all hon. Members' that the private Members' hour be waived for this day.
Subtopic: AMENDMENTS TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL JUDGES
June 23, 1965
Mr. MacNaughl:
Mr. Speaker, on Friday the House will be asked to consider the committee stage of Bill C-188, an Act to amend the Income Tax Act; second reading of an Act to amend the Children of War Dead (Education Assistance) Act; second reading of an Act to amend the Army Benevolent Fund Act; the resolution preceding a bill to amend the Judges Act; the resumed debate on the resolution to set up a joint committee on consumer credit; a motion to consider interim supply, and two supplementary estimates which, I understand, have been discussed with the Leaders of the various parties. Of course this statement is made with the reservation that the order in which the items have been announced is not necessarily the order in which they may be considered.
June 22, 1965
Mr. MacNaught:
It would appear to me, Mr. Speaker, that the same purpose could be achieved by voting against the bill as is proposed by the amendment. The amendment says that this bill should not now be read a second time. This purpose could be achieved by voting against the bill. The amendment also refers to consideration being given to the introduction of legislation, but if that legislation were introduced by a private Member it would be out of order. I believe the substantial objection is the fact that the amendment is seeking to achieve something which could be achieved by voting against second reading.
