Dollar Parity Delays Settlement in B C Miners Strike

Parliament Looks To Prorogation
OTTAWA July. The House of Commons resumes work with a focus on prorogation possibly by mid August. Opposition financial critic J M Macdonnell continues budget scrutiny while Prime Minister King notes many bills remain to come. Debate on the Mag issue may be deferred and the session could extend if parties fail to cooperate. The flag design contest narrows to two options the red ensign with a golden maple leaf and a red white diagonal design with a green maple leaf. Quebec MPs warn against a prolonged debate on any design including the Union Jack. The government has not disclosed its plans. Bills to come include a defence department amalgamation with Defence Minister Abbott likely to oversee air force as well. No word on Air Minister Gibson’s fate beyond potential appointive roles.
