Mr. GARDINER:

This bill is simply to

legalize a practice which has been carried on in connection with the pedigrees by the board which is entrusted with that responsibility, and I think it can be explained better on the second reading of the bill in committee.

Mr. EULER:

Mr. Speaker, this bill is the

outcome of certain representations made by the late Judge Sedgewick, the chairman of the dominion trade and industry commission. It includes certain provisions which he regarded as desirable in the public interest and which were omitted from the original bill. I may say that the bill was drafted by the late chairman himself. The purpose of the legislation is to make it possible to establish standards in respect of commodities which are not now provided for by any existing act of parliament, and also to prescribe the words by which the material content of any commodity shall be represented. A number of acts, such as the Food and Drugs Act, the Canada Grain Act, the Meat and Canned Foods Act, the Inspection and Sale Act, et cetera, provide for standards in respect of certain commodities, but there are many commodities which cannot be made subject to standards under any existing legislation. The Dominion Trade and Industry Commission have received suggestions for standards for a number of commodities. This is intended to give power to deal with such cases.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA

USE OF NAME "THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA"

Hon. W. R. MOTHERWELL (Melville) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 57, respecting the United Church of Canada. He said: This bill comes to us from the senate, and is founded upon a mutual agreement associated with reciprocal good fellowship between the official representatives of ihe United Church of Canada and corresponding representatives of that body of Presbyterians who decided to remain out of church union, as to the use of that official designation "The Presbyterian Church in Canada." Inasmuch as both parties to this difference make some conscientious claims to some form of continuity, it was unanimously agreed, after friendly discussions, that that portion of the Presbyterian church which remained out of union, should have accorded to it the right by law to use the official term "The Presbyterian Church in Canada," without prejudice in any way to the rights, status, or powers of the United Church of Canada. This bill is designed to give effect to that reciprocal understanding. I therefore take much pleasure in moving the first reading of this bill, seconded by the hon. member for Leeds (Mr. Stewart). Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

INCORPORATION OF THE TRUSTEE BOARD OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA
