May 26, 1919 (13th Parliament, 2nd Session)

Sir SAM HUGHES:

I cannot understand why you are limiting the salary of this officer to the meagre pittance that he is being given here. I imagine some of his clerks will be receiving more than $1,800 a year and if he is worth anything why not give him a straight salary or give him a sufficient proportion of the fees to ensure him a proper income. No apology is required for giving this officer a larger remuneration.
