It would Ih? effective between the time the present session of the legislature closes and the prorogation of next session. It would override all other legislation on the statute books with regard to the matters it concerns. It would give the government authority to act to the full extent to which the powers of the legislature extend, notwithstanding any other public or private act of the Legislature. Mntlers outlined in the bill over which the government would have complete power include reservation, preservation, management, development, sale and disposition of natural resources, Iwrrowing of money on the hole credit of the province, lending of money to industries and municipalities, provincial public works and property and civil rights in the province. The government'? request for these powers, the Premier explained, is part of its program for carrying out its "work and wages" policy concerning which the Prime Minister declared: "We propose to maintain the integrity of our institutions, sec that none of our people arc allowed to suffer for want of proper sustenance and leave no excuse for sinister influences to sow discord in the minds of the people, particularly having regard to the inculcation in the minds of the youth of our country ideas that are subversive of constitutional government and individual liberty and freedom." Tjic Premier said that the recent Ottawa conference had agreed "that a works program and co-operation with industry were essential to reduce the number now on relief." For some time the province had been dependent upon advances from the Dominion government to take care of Unemployment. "We do not know what the ultimate policy of the Dominion government may be and we must fortify our-H'lves against all contingencies."
