Excerpt from Budget Address Delivered by the Hon. Leslie M. Frost, Treasurer of the Province of Ontario, in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Thursday, March 16th, 1944, on Moving the House Into Committee of Supply: Also Statements of Comparative and Statistical Information Mr. Speaker: Before I proceed to the task of making the Budget presen tation, I desire, Mr. Speaker, to pay my respects to two of my friends, the one the former Premier and Treasurer, the Member for Elgin, and the other, my immediate predecessor, the Member for Kent West, both of whom have served in the rather arduous position of Treasurer of Ontario. I have heard five brilliant Budget Addresses delivered by my friend from Elgin and one by my friend from West Kent. In opposition, sometimes I have praised them, sometimes I have criticized. I hope I have been fair. I can say for them that they have always been most generous in their treatment of me. Wherein they were successful I hope to emulate their achievements. Where time has demonstrated that they might perhaps have followed a different course, may I_ say with the best of feeling, I hope to profit by their experience. At any rate, I hold and I believe the Mem bers of this House will agree With me, that my friends deserve the thanks of the people of the Province for their services, much of which have been performed in wartime. I am sure that they will feel a deep satisfaction in having rendered signal service to our Province. We are met in most difficult days. In the last year and a half we have had some justifiable cause for optimism. We feel sure that if we persevere we Shall win. Much of the present optimism Of an early termination of the struggle, I believe is not justified. We have a long and difficult path ahead. This is a wartime Legislature. The Budget will be a wartime Budget. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
