Mr. ROEBUCK:
I believe New Brunswick has reduced its numbers on relief; that is what the report says.

Mr. ROEBUCK:
This parliament passed an act giving the right to organize. It was in the form of an amendment to the criminal code and was passed at the session before last. It has not been adopted by the province of Ontario, and I hope that the ministry of labour will find some method of making that law applicable to Ontario irrespective of those who now oppose it. There is great work ahead of the ministry of labour and I should like to see this resolution passed unanimously in order to strengthen the hand of the minister in carrying on social work which is in his charge and perhaps in meeting some of the obstructions that are in his path from other jurisdictions.
