Most Recent Speeches (Page 3 of 1968)
June 14, 1929
Hon. J. A. ROBB (Minister of Finance):
I beg to move:
That the resolutions adopted in committee of supply on April 24, 25, 26, 29, May 3, 6, 10, 20, 28, 29, 30, 31, and June 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, be now read the second time and concurred in.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
Not until they are approved
by the governor in council at least.
June 14, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
The question raised by my
hon. friend is on a parallel with the criticism made of the Minister of Agriculture the other night in connection with delay in the payment of compensation for cattle and swine destroyed under the act. It is only fair to the Minister of Agriculture to say that when he was preparing his estimates for last year, the treasury board reduced the estimate that he put in. In August or September the
Department of Agriculture represented to the treasury board that they wanted an additional $200,000 to meet compensation payments owing to an epidemic. AVe compromised by giving them $100,000.

Mr. ROBB:
If the hon. member thinks
that I have tricked him into answering a question, I will withdraw the question and I will not use his answer against him.
June 13, 1929
Mr. ROBB:
Some years ago the hon. gentlemen brought up a resolution along that line and I pointed out to them that it was a measure of protection, and I have not changed my view on that matter. There is much to be said for it, but it cannot be done as broadly as my hon. friend suggests.
