On January 18, 1962 the Governor General delivered his Speech from the Throne to open the new year of Parliament. Lester B. Pearson, leader of the opposition, felt that some very important national problems had been omitted from that speech. In a round table discussion, Pearson is questioned about some of these topics by three Canadian journalists: Peter McClintock, associate editor of the Winnipeg Free Press; Clark Davey, foreign editor of the Toronto Globe and Mail; and Peter Dempson, Ottawa correspondent for the Toronto Telegram.~The main topics of discussion are: views on a new Canadian flag; government deficits; Senate reform; how Pearson would stimlate the economy; and views on nuclear weapons.~Includes footage of Parliament preparing for and hearing the Speech from the Throne.
