Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver Centre); Anyone in the committee would think that the Minister of Pensions and National Health was introducing something drastic, something new, something revolutionary, in this legislation.

It is identical with language which my hon. friend has supported time and again in the House of Commons and in committee.
