He said: His Excellency the Administrator, having been made acquainted with the subject matter of this resolution, recommends it to the consideration of the house.

One will amend section 22 of the Militia Act, to remove the present limitation of 10,000 placed upon the permanent force, and authorizing such number as may be authorized from time to time by the governor in council. The second section will amend section 63 of the act by adding a subsection to provide that members of the militia who are now on active service within the terms of the Militia Act, and who continue to be employed for a time in demobilization, may continue to receive the present rates of pay and allowances, including dependents' allowance, though they cease to be on active service within the terms of the Militia Act; and will be subject otherwise to the same provisions as though they were on active service, except for matters of discipline.

Major James William Coldwell

Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (C.C.F.)

Mr. M. J. COLDWELL (Rosetown-Biggar):

In looking at this motion one thing about it strikes me; that is, that we are to close on a half day and meet again on a half day. It seems to me the house would be pretty well depleted if we closed on one half day and opened on another. Perhaps it would have been better to close on Tuesday and resume the following Tuesday or to close on Thursday and resume the following Thursday, or the following Tuesday, as the case may be. The two half days would seem to make it inadvisable to pass the motion as it is now worded, and I bring that matter to the attention of the house.
