James Allison Glen (Minister of Mines and Resources)
Liberal
Mr. GLEN:
No.
Subtopic: ADJUSTMENT OF BOUNDARIES IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN SMALL AREAS
Mr. GLEN:
No.
Mr. FRASER:
Beausoleil Island is where the sea cadet camp is held. Is that included?
Mr. GLEN:
The Georgian bay islands parks will consist of Beausoleil island, Flowerpot island and some twenty eight smaller islands, with a total acreage of 3.438 acres.
The next is Mallorytown landing park. The new scenic highway which the provincial government is constructing between Brock-ville and Gananoque runs through the Mallorytown landing park, one of the St. Lawrence Islands parks. The provincial government secured and transferred to the dominion a small area adjoining the park in compensation for the area taken up by the right of way for the highway.
The area of the parcel being added to this park is 3-38 acres.
The total area of Mallorytown landing park is approximately 10 acres.
St. Lawrence islands parks, consisting of 15 islands, contain approximately 190 acres.
The idea of this whole bill is to round out, under the surveys that have been made, the boundaries of the parks, including some portions and excluding other portions.
Mr. MaoNICOL: The schedule in connection with Point Pelee park exempts 200 feet along the foreshore. Would that not mean the spoiling of the part to be annexed?
Mr. GLEN:
We are adding to the park a piece of land bought from the estate of Joseph W. Post and other small parcels.
Mr. MacNICOL:
But it exempts a strip
of 200 feet along the foreshore. Unless the park owns the land lying along the foreshore, would this exemption not spoil it?
Mr. GLEN:
We need some of it and some we do not. What we have we bought from the estate of Mr. Post.
Mr. HAZEN:
When was that?
Mr. GLEN:
Two or three years ago.
Section stands.
Progress reported.
Mr. GRAYDON:
May I ask the minister
leading the house if he will give us the order of business for to-morrow, and if I may be so bold as to say it, the definite order of business this time?
Mr. MACKENZIE:
Mr. Speaker, I rise to a point of order. I definitely resent the implication and the imputation contained in the remarks of the hon. gentleman. The order of business is only announced in this house as a matter of courtesy. To-morrow we shall deal with committee of supply.
Mr. MacNICOL:
What supply?
Mr. MACKENZIE:
The only supply that is possible to-morrow according to the order paper.
At eleven o'clock the house adjourned, without question put, pursuant to standing order. Wednesday, May 15, 1946.
