Marquette MP Reports on Farm Bills and House Practices
New Marquette member reports from Ottawa during the 26th Parliament. The Throne Speech yielded little new news, six day debate, and three farm bills advancing: Farm Improvement Loan Act, Farm Credit Corporation, and cash advances on stored grain. Debate centers on interest rates set by Order in Council, opposition critiques, and small farmer benefits versus corporate farming. Also discussed are post office rate changes, five day week, and concerns over cabinet ministers not always present for questions.
