March 18, 1949
Hon. Joseph Jean (Solicitor General of Canada):
The hon. member was kind enough to send me notice of his question. A few applications for commutation of the death sentence in this case have been received, but no decision has been reached. May I say that in such cases a decision is seldom announced before the last few days preceding the date set for execution, which in this instance is March 30.

Mr. JEAN:
Besides the commissioners there will be clerical assistance, for which $12,000 is being provided.

Hon. JOSEPH JEAN (Solicitor General):
This is for an improvement we want to bring about in the remission service. As hon. members know, we have to interview inmates for
Supply-Justice
clemency purposes. Today we have only the Ottawa branch and not enough personnel to go to all the institutions and have personal interviews with the inmates. We intend opening a branch in Vancouver, another in central Canada and another in eastern Canada, so that more frequent interviews may be held with the inmates for these purposes. I believe it will be a great improvement.

Mr. JEAN:
This is for the combines investigation branch. As everyone knows, this office has more work today than it had last year, and it appears necessary to provide this extra amount for fees for legal counsel, special assistants, reporters, special commissioners and witnesses. The investigation into the breadbaking industry which is being carried on involves expenditures which were not considered when recommendations were made for the main estimates.
