The CHAIRMAN:

The hon. member is not talking about the old age pension bill. He is talking about some financial system or some

fiscal system, and he is using the section under consideration as an example, which I do not think is proper.

Mr. QUELCH:

Mr. Chairman, I apologize to the committee if I did not make myself clear. I was not trying to discuss the financial system or the economic order. I was trying to discuss whether or not we could afford tc pay a decent pension, whether, instead of pa}ring $30 a month, we could not afford to pay $50.

Mr. MARTIN:

Would the hon. gentleman permit an interruption? I am sure he will accede to this request. Before the bill is through, if he wants to have an opportunity of discussing this matter, I will try to find 'some way of providing it. But in view of the long discussion, and in view of the fact that there will be an opportunity to raise the point he has in mind, would he mind facilitating the passage of this section?
