Mr. OLIVER:
I do not understand it at all. One part of the minister's explanation was that pensions to men who had served in the Northwest Rebellion and had suffered physical disability, not being covered by the regular pensions vote, required a special vote. That I can easily understand. But I do not recall that the amount of pensions in respect of physical disabilities incurred in connection with the Northwest Rebellion is nearly* so large an amount as this in the item. I do not understand my.hon. friend's reference to pensions payable because of home guard service. I do not object to the payment of pensions that we owe, but I should like to know what we are paying these pensions for.
September 19, 1917
Mr. OLIVER:
I do not insist upon that. Rut what I find strange is that in this home defence force there should be an increase in one year of $24,000 for pensions. The war has been going on for three years, and it is rather unaccountable that there should be a fourfold increase during the year.
September 19, 1917
Mr. OLIVER:
I was alluding to ithis on account of the 'Military Service Act coming into force. I think that we as a country should not give less consideration, tout if possible even imore consideration, to those who are called up than to those who volunteered freely, it is hard to make such a statement, but I think that proposition is fair.
September 19, 1917
Mr. OLIVER:
The item shows an increase of $24,000, which, I assume, is entirely in respect of pensions on account of disability during service in the home defence force. The size or extent of the home defence force, the circumstances under which it is maintained, and the kind of service it renders, are things which are not generally known." What are the circumstances that call for this extra payment of pensions? Is the scale of pensions in this case the same as that provided in the case of overseas service, or is it the old scale that prevailed some years ago?
