Most Recent Speeches (Page 1429 of 1432)
June 6, 1950
Mr. Hellyer:
The auxiliary supervisors
were eligible for the Canadian Volunteer Service medal and I was wondering if the same privilege could not be given to the firefighters?
3270 HOUSE OF
Supply-Veterans Affairs
June 6, 1950
Mr. Hellyer:
Will the minister give further consideration to the request of the Canadian corps of firefighters? I understand that they have two modest demands, first, eligibility to receive the Canadian Volunteer Service medal and then to be given preference in employment in the civil service. As the minister is aware, these men enlisted for service anywhere without reservation and were subject to great danger. In the British zone, at least, they were required to stay out at times when the armed forces were ordered underground, and they were not too highly compensated for their services. I admit that they have been given most of the benefits that have accrued to the armed forces, but as they did such great service in that area, as they helped with the loading of barges for the attack on Europe, as a commitment was made, at least by inference, by Major General LaFleche that they would be granted equal rights with the armed forces, I wonder if it would not be possible for the minister to give further consideration to their requests?
April 26, 1950
Mr. Hellyer:
It is because of this that the natural laws, which previously would have come into operation to get us out of our
troubles and restore equilibrium when disequilibrium sets in, are no longer of necessity operative. It is because of this that I believe that the Minister of Finance has accepted the inevitability of having to compensate for this price rigidity through a sound policy of cyclical budgeting.

Mr. Hellyer:
We do not intend to have one. I suggest, Mr. Speaker, that if hon. members opposite would devote their time and talents
The Budget-Mr. Hellyer to an effort to develop new industries so as to provide employment in exploiting the natural resources of the country, we might make appreciable progress toward full nationhood, and in the process enable immigrants in larger numbers to join with us in building Canada into that still greater nation which I am sure we all fervently hope it will one day become. As a closing remark, Mr. Speaker, I should think that this all ties in with something else which is of extreme interest to most people at the present time, and that is that if we can break this one thing, this business cycle, we shall have for all time disproved the Marxist theory and, in the words of Woodrow Wilson, made the world safe for democracy.
On motion of Mr. Fleming the debate was adjourned.

Mr. Hellyer:
Before I take my seat, I think I will just close by saying that I have every confidence in both the administration and the Minister of Finance and his officials, to maintain equilibrium, to maintain our purchasing power and to keep in this country that degree of economic buoyancy which is necessary to provide ample employment, and an increasingly higher standard of living for those apostles who keep interrupting with their gloomy remarks from the opposite side of the house. I have every confidence that there will be no depression in this country. A depression is not necessary.
