Legislative Assembly of Manitoba HEARING OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE BILLS Chairman Mr. D. James Walding Constituency of St. Vital THURSDAY, April 21, 1977, 11:00 a.m. Printed by P.N. Crosbie-Queen's Printer for the Province of Manitoba Private Bills Thursday, April 21, 1977 TIME: 11:10 a.m. CHAIRMAN: Mr. D. James Walding. MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a quorum, gentlemen. This meeting of the Private Bills Committee will come to order. We have three bills before the Committee this morning: Nos. 31, 38 and 46.

There is also the traditional motion of extending the time for receiving petitions and private bills to the House. Suggested dates are, that the date for Petitions be the 5th of May and for receiving Private Bills by the House to the 12th of May. Would someone be prepared to move such a motion? Mr. Petursson. MR.PETURSSON: We don't have to debate that. MR. CHAIRMAN: Is that agreed? (Agreed) MR. CHAIRMAN: Are there any members of the public wishing to make representation to the Committee on Bills 31, 38, and 46?

If so, would you come up to the microphone please and give your name and the number of the bill you wish to speak to. Mr. Spivak. MR. SPIVAK: Mr. Donald Brock is here in connection with Bill No.46 and I think the best procedure would be that if there are any questions on the bill, that he would be in a position to answer them but I don't think that it is necessary for a submission to be made specifically. MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there any one else present wishing to speak to the Committee? Would you come forward please. MR. BILL EICHHORST: Mr.

Chairman, I am Bill Eichhorst, Vice-President of Winnipeg Bible College and just here in case there are any questions concerning Bill 38. MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. MR. E.C. HODGERT: Gentlemen, I am here representing the Royal Canadian Legion in respect to Bill 31. If there are any questions, I would be happy to answer them. MR. CHAIRMAN: And your name is, Sir? MR. HODGERT: Ed Hodgert, initials E.G. I am the ExecutiveSecretary of the of the Command. MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Hodgert. Bill 31. Would legal counsel report on this bill to the Committee, please. MR.

TALL IN: Perhaps it would save time if I told you that the report on each of these three bills is a nil report. I will file the reports with the Clerk; perhaps that will be sufficient. A MEMBER: Page by page. MR. CHAIRMAN: Page by page. MR. BIL TON: I wonder what the legal counsel means by a nil report. MR. TALLIN: A report to the effect that I have seen nothing unusual or no extraordinary powers sought. MR. BIL TON: That's the information I wanted. Thank you, very much. MR. CHAIRMAN: Bill 31, Page 1-pass; Page 2-pass; Page 3-pass.

Preamble-pass; Title pass; Bill be Reported-pass. Bill 38. Page-by-page. Page 1-pass; Page 2-pass;

Preamble-pass; Title-pass. Bill be reported. Bill 46. Page-by-page. Page 1-pass;

Preamble-pass; Title-pass; Bill be reported. Committee Rise. MR. TALLIN: No, no. Just for your consideration, if I might mention, two of these bills are for charitable corporations and it is usual to move that the fee be remitted with the exception of the printing costs. MR. BIL TON: That is so moved, Mr. Chairman. MR. CHAIRMAN: That is so moved. Is that agreed? (Agreed) . MR. CHAIRMAN: Anything else before the Committee rises? Mr. Steen. MR. STEEN: The third one, why doesn't this qualify for a charitable organization? By the third one, do you mean No. 31? MR. TALLIN: Yes. That would be up to the committee.

My own feeling would be that it might very well come within charitable, because one of the things that charitable includes is patriotic and the Legion is, if anything, patriotic. In the past there has always been a debate on that. MR. CHAIRMAN: Mr. Steen. MR. STEEN: Mr. Chairman, can I amend the Motion by adding Bill31 to be included with Bill38 and Bill to be treated as a charitable organization? MR. CHAIRMAN: You can make it a separate Motion. We passed the previous one. MR. STEEN: I make it a separate Motion then. MR. CHAIRMAN: lt can be moved to be treated in the same manner. Is there any debate?

Is it agreed? (Agreed) MR. CHAIRMAN: If there is nothing further before the Committee, a motion to adjourn would be in order. MR. STEEN: I so move. MR. CHAIRMAN: So moved. Agreed? (Agreed) Committee rise. 1
