October 12, 1951 (21st Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. MacDougall:

Mr. Speaker, you will
recall that during the last session of the house I performed a similar duty, and I received some justifiable criticism from various members of the house because I apparently seemed too anxious to have this legislation passed by this body. I believe it was the general consensus of opinion then that some time should elapse so that public reaction to the bill could be ascertained by the members of the house. Since that time public reaction certainly has been duly ascertained.
