Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver Centre):
In discussing this section in committee on Friday it was suggested that paragraph (b) of subsection 1 thereof was hardly wide enough to allow for the provision of care, treatment and training of a person in his own home.
I appreciate this suggestion and I feel that it has considerable merit. Accordingly the following amendment is proposed. That this section be amended by striking out the words "other institution" where they occur in the third line thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the words "or elsewhere".
I have already given notice of my intention to move an amendment of this particular paragraph in other respects. Therefore the paragraph as proposed to be amended will read as follows:
Respecting the care, treatment or training to be furnished in any hospital, workshop, home, school or elsewhere, and providing for the care, treatment or training therein of persons entitled thereto under any statute or order of the governor in council administered by the minister.
Subtopic: ESTABLISHMENT OF DEPARTMENT TO DEAL WITH THE CARE, TREATMENT, TRAINING OR REESTABLISHMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES
