CHAPAIS APPOINTED TO SENATE

As rumoured, Hon. Jean Charles Chapais (Agriculture) has been appointed to the Senate, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Hon. Joseph Bossé (1868-0259).

RECENT CABINET DECISIONS

The Dominion Cabinet has abolished the regular Saturday half-holiday for the duration of the Parliamentary session (1868-0255). So long as the Commons remains sitting, Saturdays will be considered full work days with regular hours from 9 am to 4 pm, with no overtime available.

The Cabinet has also approved $4,200 for alterations to the Parliament Buildings (1868-0256). The request was submitted to the Cabinet by Hon. William Howland (Public Works) on behalf of the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Clerk of the Senate.
