December 4, 1951 (21st Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. Garson:

I do not think there will be but I am sure the hon. member will understand that in all matters under the civil service there is an effort that has to be continued at all times to maintain a reasonable relationship between salaries paid for one position and for another with respect both to their minima and maxima. This is the form in which we got it back as approved by the various officers of the civil service who had to check it, and I would be very reluctant to change it. My hon. friend is quite right in saying that under present conditions it has no real application.
