MR. GUTTORMSON: Madam Speaker, the member for St. Boniface is ill. Please have the matter stand. · MADAM SPEAKER: ·second reading of Bill No. 14. The Honourable Member for Selkirk. MR. IDLLHOUSE presented Bill No. 14,

an Act for the relief of Leslie Lidstone and Ll.lcienne Marie Lidstone, for second reading. Madam Speaker presented the motion. MR. HILLHOUSE: Madam Speaker, the explanation of this bill is completely found in the petition, but maybe some of the members have not read the petition so I will read it to them. Leslie Lidstone is the father of an infant child known as Lucienne Marie Lidstone who was born on the lOth day of February, 1958. She was admitted to Ste. Rose Hospital in Manitoba on the 25th day of May, 1958, to receive treatment for asthma. She was four months old at that time.

While in the hospital, she was severely burned. The petitioner -- he lives in Port Alberni in the Province of British Columbia -- he took the child back to British Columbia and, on his ar rival, he consulted a Mr. McCulloch of a certain law firm in connection with taking action agaiJlSt the hospital. Negotiations were started by the solicitor on beha lf of Mr. Lidstone with General Accident and Fire Life Insurance Corporation, the insurer of the hospital, and these negotiations March 11th, 1963 Page I - (Mr. Hillhouse cont1d) .. •••.• • carried on until the middle of when Mr.

McCulloch was disbarred by the British Columbia bar. The insurance company did pay for certain medical expenses incurred in connection with this child, but they refused to pay in respect of an opera tion that was performed; and it was only after the refusal of the insurance company to pay that the father found to his dismay that there was a period of limitations in our Hospital Act. At no time prior to that had he ever been informed by the lawyer who was acting for him that there was a period of one year within which to bring action.

The purpose of this petition is to enable the petitioner to bring an action in a court in Manitoba. It is not for the purpose of settling the liabilities of the Hospital, but for·the pur pose of allowing the petitioner to bring the action and have the court set these liabilities. I would therefore ask that the House pass this bill. Madam Speaker put the question and after a voice vote declared the motion carried. MADAM SPEAKER: Bill No. 16,

an Act to incorporate the Nelson Finance Corporation. The Honourable Member for Selkirk. MR. HILLHOUSE presented Bill No. 16 for second reading. Madam Speaker presented the motion. MR . HILLHOUSE: Madam Speaker, in Manitoba, as in Canada, we are the only two jurisdictions which require a loan company to apply to the Legislature for a special Act. In all .other jurisdictions they can apply under their respective Companies' Act. That is the reason why this bill is coming before you in the form that it is rather than an application to the Pro vincial Secretary under The Companies' Act. MR .

GRAY: Madam Speaker, can anyone in this House tell us how many loan companies we now have in Manitoba? HON. GURNEY EVANS (Minister of Industry & Commerce) (Fort Rouge): Presumably that might be directed to me, Madam Speaker, and I can't offhand. If the honourable member would care to ask for an Order for Return I have no doubt the information could be provided. MR . RUSSELL PAULLEY (Leader of the New Democratic Party) (Radisson): I would like to move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Inkster, that the debate be adjourned. Madam Speaker presented the motion and after a voice vote declared the motion carried.

MADAM SPEAKER: Bill No. 17,

an Act to incorporate Bel Acres Golf and Country Club. The Honourable Member for Assiniboia. MR . GUTTORMSON: M:adam Speaker, may we have this matter stand please. MR . ROBLIN: Madam Speaker, I beg to move, seconded by the Honourable Minister of Industry and Commerce, that the House do now adjourn. Madam Speaker presented the motion and after a voice vote declared the motion carried and the House adjourned until 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. Page March 11th, 1963
