Mr. CASSELMAN:
You have exceeded your time,
Subtopic: FAMILY ALLOWANCES
Sub-subtopic: PROVISION FOR PAYMENTS IN RESPECT OF CHILDREN UNDER SIXTEEN
Mr. CASSELMAN:
You have exceeded your time,
Mr. SPEAKER:
Order.
Mr. ROEBUCK:
May I have the time of these interruptions credited to me?
Mr. CASSELMAN:
You are past your time already.
Family Allowances
Mr. GRAYDON:
He thought he was at a garden party; he was being the comedian, that is all.
Mr. SPEAKER:
Order.
Mr. ROEBUCK:
Let me read-
Mr. GRAYDON:
It is time for garden parties anyway.
Mr. ROEBUCK:
This is what Mr. Bracken
said. I know it hurts hon. members, but let me read it:
It is time we asked ourselves when this legal bribery of the electorate is going to be stopped.
He is referring to family allowances as legal bribery of the electorate. Therefore I take it that even when this bill passes and becomes law, and administrative machinery is provided by this government, should Mr. Bracken take office, the act will be repealed.
Mr. GRAYDON:
We will make a workable act.
Mr. ROEBUCK:
There is no doubt about it; that is the assurance-
Mr. GRAYDON:
We will make a workable act for the children.
Mr. MACDONALD (Brantford City):
I rise to a point of order. May I ask if the leader of the opposition has any more privileges to interrupt than any other hon. member?
Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver Centre):
He is the official interrupter.
Mr. GRAYDON:
On the point of order, may I say that I think I have the same rights as the hon. member for Brantford City.
I grant that.
Mr. GRAYDON:
The hon. member has made many statements in his speech this afternoon upon which I could have raised a question of privilege, but I knew he was attempting to be the comedian of the party on this occasion and I did not want to interrupt him. But I say if he attempts to be provocative in the future as he has been to-day I shall have to rise to a point of order.
Mr. SPEAKER:
There is no point of
order. The hon. member's time expired at half past four, but he has been interrupted several times in the last few minutes. I gave the hon. member for Lake Centre at least five minutes extra in order that he might conclude his remarks, and I think it only fair to do the same thing for the hon. member for Trinity.
100-344i
Mr. GRAYDON:
Then let him get down
to business.
Mr. ROEBUCK:
It is I who should
raise the point of order because of the very disrespectful remarks of the leader of the opposition. When I am making the most serious case possible he referred to me as a comedian, and threatened that if I proceeded to make points which he did not like he would do something about it.
