Most Recent Speeches (Page 1 of 283)
June 3, 1921
Mr. CALDER:
My address occupied
about twenty minutes, and I did not cover anything that was not included in the report of the committee.
June 3, 1921
Mr. CALDER:
I do not know whether or not the hon. gentleman has read the evidence, but my judgment as to the weight of the evidence that came before us is that in the case of these very special appointments, the men whom you wish to get will never submit themselves to competition. That is the way the evidence struck me.
June 3, 1921
Mr. CALDER:
We have had a fairly lengthy discussion on this Bill, and when it was before the House the other day a suggestion was made to the effect that an amendment should be made providing that an annual report should be submitted to Parliament by the Civil Service Commission.
June 3, 1921
Mr. CALDER:
Will the hon. member answer the question which I asked an hon. gentleman very squarely, and which he did not answer? In the case of astronomers and medical research men, would my hon. friend maintain that it was practicable for the Civil Service Commission to make those appointments?
June 3, 1921
Mr. CALDER:
You will not get the
right man.
