Ontario CCF demands govt
postpone Bill 93 to allow

better study of amendments

Both the Ontario CCF Convention and the League for Democratic Rights, through its national
chairman, Roscoe S. Rodd, QC, last weekend joined in urging that Ottawa postpone passage of Bil
93 to allow further study of its sweeping amendments to the Criminal Code. ;

(Thomas C. Roberts, LDR executive secretary, when he appeared before the Special
of the House of Commons on March 4, recommended delay in enaetment of Billi 93, stressing

important that we get the best
possible Code even if it takes
longer than was originally antici-
pated.”)

From several other quarters
have also come demands that Bill
93 be delayed as Canadians be-
come increasingly aware of the
dangers in the new Criminal Code
legislation.

Already flooded with numerous
briefs and personal demands for
changes in the bill, the commit-
tee, MP’s and the government are

now being confronted with re-.

quests to extend study of the am-
endments until all opinions are
heard. Justice Minister Stuart
Garson’s announced policy how-
ever, is to “proceed vigorously”
with enactment.

Three other major national
organizations, the Association
for Civil Liberties, the Cana-
dian Catholic Confederation of
Labor and the Labor-Progressive
party have also recommended
delay. :
Rodd told members of a United

Jewish People’s Order forum last
week that “the present code
will do for a while longer until
the best possible’ revisions have
been worked out.” He added his
view that the committee seek out
the opinion of experts and gen-
‘eral public, social workers, psy-

chiatrists, lawyers, trade union of-
ficials and citizens.

The Ontario CCF resolution
called for a commission to re-
vise the code “in accordance
with modern concepts” and
charged that the bill “had been
pushed through by the govern-~
ment without adequate consid-_
eration.”

The study commission demand-
ed by the CCF would include
‘Jegal scholars, and students of
criminology .as well as law en-
forcement officers, and to which
citizens would have full oppor-
tunity to make representations.”

Feeling the lash of public
opinion the House committee has
begun a policy of restricting pre-
sentations on various technical
grounds. Most striking discrimin-
ation was that against the National
Federation of Labor Youth, which
complied with all the demands of
the committee; but has been re-
fused hearings, first on the pre-
text that it was not a national or-

ganization and then on
ground that it had “nothing neW
to present.

“We do not believe that it
the function of a committee aP
pointed to hear submissions,
decide in advance what submis
sions it shall hear,” wrote Normal
Penner, NFLY national secretary:
to the committee.”

Countering arguments that it
had nothing new to present, Not
man Penner announced that 4
third application for an appeal
ance had been made. He charge
ed that Justice Minister Garson’s
Winnipeg statement of March

on crime comics was enforceable
was contradicted by Ontario At
torney-General Dana Porter wh?

took the position that convictions —

cannot be secured against pub-
lishers of crime comics under thé
present code. These facts wer
new and should be heard by the
committee, Penner asserted.
