Gordon Graydon (Leader of the Official Opposition)

National Government
Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. GRAYDON:

Through the service they operate, in conjunction with the provinces, has the minister or his department any idea of the amount of farm labour which will be required for the seeding, harvesting and fall operations on the farms of Canada? If so, is the programme the minister has outlined, together with the government's other collateral programmes, calculated to meet the need that agriculture now faces?

I can probably supply my hon. friend with an approximate figure, but he will appreciate it can only be approximate. The answer to the second question is yes.

National Government
Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. ROSS (Souris):

How does the farmer go about procuring the services of a conscientious objector to work on the farm? There is not complete harmony between the selective service officials and the board. It is now seeding time, and the farmers are having difficulty in obtaining the services of conscientious objectors.

Mr. MITCHELL:

Recently we appointed alternative selective service officers in the different regions across Canada. If the hon. member will get in touch with the officer for Manitoba, who I believe is in Winnipeg, I think he will find the results satisfactory.
