September 14, 1950 (21st Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. Solon E. Low (Peace River):

Mr. Speaker, I should like to say a word in support of the principle of the resolution. We think it is important that parliament be alerted, and ready to meet at any date it is deemed necessary to deal with either domestic or international matters as they may arise. I have not had time to consider the wording of the amendment or to consult with my colleagues, but I would say that I would not presume to suggest November 15 as the last day on which it would be wise to allow the adjournment to continue. I think all I can say is that we are urging the government to call parliament without delay when it is felt necessary to deal expeditiously with any matter.
