May 12, 1959
Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King (Prime Minister) :
I understand my hon. friend the Leader of the Opposition does not wish to proceed with the second reading of the unemployment insurance measure today.
Subtopic: AMENDMENTS TO INCREASE RATES OF REMUNERATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS, ETC.
May 12, 1959
Mr. Mackenzie King:
As I said yesterday, the government have no desire to rush the bill at all. Our desire is simply to expedite the business of the session as far as we can.
Subtopic: AMENDMENTS TO INCREASE RATES OF REMUNERATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS, ETC.
May 29, 1958
Mr. Mackenzie King:
I wish to make that clear. Nor does the passage of the address without division commit any member to anything expressed in the address. An amendment affords an opportunity to take exception to what appears or does not appear in the speech from the throne and to the government's policy, but when amendments which have been proposed are rejected and there is nothing left but the simple expression of thanks to His Majesty or His Majesty's representative for having come to parliament and opened its proceedings, it certainly places the Commons in an anomalous position vis-a-vis the crown to refuse to thank His Majesty or His Majesty's representative for that act of courtesy.
Mr. Speaker, we in the loyal opposition do not wish to be placed in that anomalous and disloyal position, and for that reason, and for that reason only, we will support the address.

February 16, 1949
Mr. Mackenzie King:
If I may interrupt my hon. friend on the essential point of what he is discussing, is it not that the matter he refers to was one which belonged to the provinces and could not be dealt with by the federal government without agreement by the provinces?
