Third Reading In Senate For Insurance Bill
The unemployment insurance bill passed third reading in the senate after two Liberal amendments were defeated 20 to 12. Senator Raoul Dandurand urged extending coverage to employees earning over 2000 dollars, arguing it would tax the big fellow, while Meighen opposed the change saying it would misalign with the act’s purpose. Some Liberal senators supported the amendment, but the measure failed to gain support.
