He argued the Royal Commission plan is insufficient and warned provincial governments may need to act to conserve resources and prevent industry collapse if newsprint price-cutting and cooperation efforts fail. He also criticized duplicate government expenditures and questioned the need for nine provincial legislatures alongside the federal government.

Canada Sugar Industry Report by Dr. Gershaw MP
A Department of Trade and Commerce study shows eight refineries employed 2,265 workers last year. Canada refined 890 million pounds of imported cane sugar and produced 107 million pounds from homegrown beets, with beet sugar gains and yield data across 43,387 acres. The report lists import values by country totaling 22,196,524 dollars and notes witnesses from statistics bureaus, farms, and sugar companies. The committee finds more suitable beet-growing land, steady refined sugar totals near 963 million pounds yearly, beet sugar share rising from 6.2 percent in 1926 to about 10 percent in 1980-81, and notes current factories at Chatham, Wallaceburg, and Raymond run at full capacity, with expansion requiring greater manufacturing capacity.
