First Test For Parties In Ottawa Parliament Vote
In Ottawa on September 13 the House of Commons prepared for the first test of party strength since the new session opened. The governing party faced possible rejection of opposition amendments that could signal a motion of no confidence. A rogue amendment from the former Conservative faction and a CCF call for broad social changes frame the debate while Senatorial assent approved large wartime expenditures. Arsenault, once a Progressive Conservative leader, now Independent, denounces his old party. Political alignments and fiscal plans shape the day’s action.
