NIAGARA BY-ELECTION

A writ of election has been issued for the Ontario constituency of Niagara following the resignation of Donald Robertson who has accepted an appointment as coroner.

Hon. Stephen Richards (Crown Lands Commissioner), who is without seat in the Ontario Legislature following his defeat in South Leeds in September will contest the seat.

PROGRESS OF LEGISLATION

Yesterday, the House passed through the Second Reading stage The Interpretation Act and the Act respecting the Office of the Speaker of the House of Commons with no debate owing to the two Acts being routine in nature.

The Members’ Indemnity Act received third reading.

SUPPLY

The House will be resolved into the Committee of Supply in two days’ time to consider the granting of a Supply to Her Majesty.

In giving notice of motion, Sir John A. Macdonald said he hoped that Hon. John Rose (Finance) would be back in the House in time for that discussion.
