Frank Swanson reports from Ottawa on the last session of Canada's twenty-second Parliament. He says it did not have the drama of the Emergency Powers debate in the 1955 session or the pipeline debate in 1956, and was typically pre-election. He mentions the budget of Finance Minister Walter Harris, the movement toward a hospital insurance plan; and legislation giving provincial farm marketing boards wider powers; the reports of the Walter L. Gordon Royal Commission of Canada's Economic Future and the Robert M. Fowler Royal Commission on Broadcasting; the debut of Progressive Conservative leader John G. Diefenbaker and the illness of Co-operative Commonwealth Federation Leader Major James W. "M.J." Coldwell; and that when Parliament reconvenes in the fall, canadian voters will have had their innings. Footage shows Swanson at a desk, in medium shot and close-up. <128s>
