CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT

Mr. DONALD M. KENNEDY (West Edmonton) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 54 to amend the Criminel Code. He said: This is a bill to repeal section 20 of Chapter 25, the statutes of 1921. This section of the Criminal Code was passed in June of last year, in the face of an insistent demand from a part of the West for an investigation into alleged frauds in connection with the transfer and location of half-breed scrip. Many frauds complained of are supposed to have been committed as far back as fifteen years ago, and the amendment, section 20, Chapter 25 of 1921, provides that prosecution cannot be taken after three years from the commission of the offence. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

NATURALIZATION ACT, 1914 AMENDMENT

Mr. JOSEPH ARCHAMBAULT (Cham-bly and Vercheres) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 55, an Act to revise and amend the Naturalization Act, 1914. He said: This is a bill to amend the Naturalization Act of 1914. By this act, a residence of five years, in the previous eight years, in His Majesty's Dominion was required, with one year, the last year, in Canada. When the war broke out an amendment was enacted which provided that the time spent overseas in the crown forces by those who enlisted would count as residence in Canada, but there was no provision for men who enlisted in the armies of the allied countries. The result is that if a Belgian, a Frenchman or an Italian who was a resident in Canada before the war, and who had spent four years in Canada, enlisted in the allied army, his time while he was overseas did not count, and when he came back to Canada, say in 1919, he had to reside in Canada five years more in order to obtain naturalization papers. I submit that this was an oversight causing a grave injustice, and the purpose of my bill is to remedy that injustice. I will explain the bill fully on second reading. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
