PRIVILEGE

ALBERTA OIL

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. A. L. Smith (Calgary West):

On a question of privilege, Mr. Speaker, I ask the indulgence of the house for just a moment.

I am the bearer of good news. In this morning's paper I saw that an oil well known as Schoepp Imperial No. 1, which is just north of Edmonton in a new field, had proven 470 feet of a productive horizon, was still pouring and going on. This is not a world record, but it is approaching it. In view of the fact that from a few feet you can get a commercial oil well, members of this house can well imagine the tremendous and favourable effect of the news which has been received. In view of the fact that millions of barrels at that depth can come from one acre of ground, the house can readily understand how happy I am, and how happy everyone else should be, that that great discovery has been made.

Mr. Frederic Dorion (Charlevoix-Saguenay):

On a question of privilege, Mr. Speaker, since I have the honour to represent in this house the only constituency whose territory is neighbour to that of the new province of Newfoundland, I wish in the name of my constituents to extend to our fellow citizens, especially those of the Labrador coast, the most hearty welcome on the occasion of the entry of Newfoundland into our confederation.

During the last seven years, in the course of my visits to the extreme eastern part of my riding, I have had occasion to meet a good number of Newfoundlanders who already have had very close and friendly relations with our own people. Having had the opportunity of knowing them, I am sure they will become good Canadian citizens.

Many residents of the north shore are the descendants of settlers who came to our country from Newfoundland. That is the reason why the ties already existing between the people of the two countries will be tightened by the joining of Newfoundland to the other provinces.

(Translation):

We were good neighbours. Now we shall become members of a single family and it will be our desire to work together for the prosperity of a great country.
