Richard Burpee Hanson (Leader of the Official Opposition)
National Government
Hon. R. B. HANSON (Leader of the Opposition):
May I direct the attention of the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Cardin), who unfortunately is not here at the moment, to the danger, to pedestrians passing along the
esplanade in front of these buildings, from, shall I say, thoughtless motorists. I had an experience of this kind to-day, and I have heard of others. If it is necessary to put a policeman on that esplanade to prevent people from driving too fast, let us do it; but I think something will have to be done. One of the senators was seriously injured the other evening, though at that time of course visibility was very poor. The incident to-day, however, was in broad daylight and I am not as agile as I once was. I should like to ask the minister if he will do something about this.
