Bill No. 97 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND THE COMMISSIONERS FOR OATHS ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Commissioners for Oaths Act.

Section of this Act presently permits the taking of affidavits by persons holding a commission in His Majesty's military and naval forces, but omits the air force. The taking of such affidavits is only permitted if the officer is outside of the Province. The amendment to

section is designed to enable officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force to be commissioners for oaths and to allow any officer to take oaths within as well as without the Province. In con nection with the development of The Joint Air Training Plan, the services of a commissioner for oaths at the various units is frequently required and often difficult to obtain. W. S.
