Right Hon. C. D. HOWE (Minister of Trade and Commerce):

Canadian steel producers are obtaining scrap metal wherever they can find it. It is one of the scarcest of raw materials today. A certain amount is being imported, much of it from distant countries. Shipments from long distances within Canada as well as import shipments can qualify for subsidy, under certain conditions. The maximum subsidy payable is $10 per ton.

LABOUR CONDITIONS

CREWS OF FEDERAL HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY SHIPS

On the orders of the day:
LIB

James Angus MacKinnon (Minister of Fisheries)

Liberal
Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Hon. J. A. MacKINNON (Acting Minister of Mines and Resources):

Yesterday the hon. member for Nanaimo asked a question regard-

ing certain ships' crews on the Pacific coast. The crew of the C.G.S. Parry was asked to sign ships' articles on the basis of last year's wages pending the receipt of a schedule of rates for this year from the Department of Labour. This they refused to do. The schedule of rates for 1948 was received from the Department of Labour on April 29, and after one or two minor points had been cleared up it was approved today, to be effective January 1, 1948. Officials of the department in British Columbia are being notified to that effect. The rates set by the Department of Labour provide for increases of from $15 to $20 per month in most classes of ships' crews.
