Mr. Jean Frangois Pouliol (Temiscouala):

Before this motion passes I should like to say a word about the committee business of the house. Yesterday we heard the leader of the opposition (Mr. Drew) complaining about his lack of ubiquity, but he himself asked for the formation of many committees, and he has been caught in his own trap.

Mr. Garson:

Mr. Speaker, the bill will provide four amendments to the Official Secrets Act. First, it will extend the expression "office under His Majesty" to include employees of commissions, corporations and other agencies of the crown. Second, it will give an extraterritorial effect to the act by making it applicable to offences committed outside of Canada by Canadian citizens, or to persons who in another country have communicated information which they obtained during the time that they owed allegiance to Canada. Third, it will increase the penalties under the act, and fourth, it will also remove any doubt that persons charged under the act for offences against the act under part XV of the Criminal Code relating to summary convictions may be fingerprinted.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first

time.
