Mr. LIGUORI LACOMBE (Laval-Two Mountains (Translation):

Mr. Speaker, I

wish to raise a question of privilege. In its edition of to-day, May 8, 1944, the newspaper Le Canada, has the following caption:

Mr. Victor Trepanier states that Mr. Maxime Raymond is a yes-man, a rubber stamp and a haggler.

The same newspaper also quotes Mr. Trepanier as follows:

Mr. Trepanier has condemned the 65 yes-men, the 65 rubber stamps, the 65 hagglers we have in Ottawa, and he has added that they were no longer "fit to represent the people."

I protest against the statement of Mr. Trepanier, who sweepingly impugns the reputation and the stand of the 65 members from the province of Quebec.

I, for one, am neither a "yes-man," a "rubber stamp" nor a "haggler." I was the only member from the province of Quebec, with the exception of the hon. member for Quebec-Montmorency (Mr. LaCroix), to oppose, through amendments, our participation in the war and the mobilization act.

Mr. ROY:

The paragraph to be amended at present reads as follows:

1. Definition of employer: For this purpose, every person, partnership, company, firm or corporation in Canada, employing any male person normally regarded as a full-time employee, regardless of the method of payment of such employee for his services, comes under the definition of "employer." The dominion government, the governments of the provinces, as well as municipal institutions are employers for this purpose. The term employer includes also any farmer operating a farm, who has working for him a male employee, even though such employee be a son or other relative.

The purpose of the amendment is to strike out the definition of employer, a "farmer operating a farm," so that a farmer would not be compelled to act as informer against his son or other relative.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
