Most Recent Speeches (Page 1 of 1968)
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
So far as this government is
concerned that is not the case.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
It is a phrase that has been used for many years in the estimates. Generally speaking, it applies to ministers who may be absent from the country on public duty. The ministers in the administration of their departments may be absent from Ottawa.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
The question raised by my
hon. friend is on a parallel with the criticism made of the Minister of Agriculture the other night in connection with delay in the payment of compensation for cattle and swine destroyed under the act. It is only fair to the Minister of Agriculture to say that when he was preparing his estimates for last year, the treasury board reduced the estimate that he put in. In August or September the
Department of Agriculture represented to the treasury board that they wanted an additional $200,000 to meet compensation payments owing to an epidemic. AVe compromised by giving them $100,000.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
My hon. friend1 has already
brought this matter to the attention of t^e house. He may recall that I said some days ago that we had asked the Department of Justice for a ruling as to the legality of the procedure. We have made up our minds to have an inter-departmental inquiry made if the ruling of the Department of Justice is that the present method is not legal. In any
Procedure Respecting Dit>orce
event, I think that it would be profitable to have an inter-departmental inquiry, so that we can report to parliament next session.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
By unanimous consent; Mr. Speaker, the hon. gentleman might put his question.
