 FIFTH SrSSION-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT 
 
 SPEECH 
 
 OP 
 
 JAMES MCMULLEN, M.P. 
 
 ON THE 
 
 SUPERANNUATION ACT 
 
 OTTAWA, WEDNESDAY, 5th JUNE, 1895 
 
 Mr. McMULLBN. Mr. Speaker, I think 
 tbat is the fifth time during my parlia- 
 mentary life that I hare had the pririfege 
 of bringing before this House the question 
 of superannuation. For seTeral years, I 
 have given conoiderable btudy to the opera- 
 tion of the Act, and I have endeavoured 
 to expose tho objectionable operatior of 
 that Act upon the public expenditure of this 
 country. Last year, at the urgent request 
 of the First Minister, I consented to allow 
 this Bill to stand over, on the ground that 
 the Finance Minister was not in the House 
 at the time, and I did not get another op- 
 portunity of bringing it forward. On this 
 occasion, I would gladly consent to the pro- 
 position made by the Finance Minister had 
 I positive assurance that I would have an- 
 other opportunity of moving the second 
 reading ; but, owing to the manner in 
 which I was disappointed last year, I think 
 I should embrace the present opportunlliy 
 to ro on with the Bill. I have endeavour- 
 ed CO point out, from year to year, the 
 manner in which the Superannuation Act 
 has operated. I have proved that the coun- 
 try has lost a large amount of money by 
 
 the continuation of this system. The Act 
 was brought into force in 1871, when Sir 
 Francis Hincks was Finance Minister In 
 the Government headed by Sir John Mac- 
 donald. Had the Act been allowed to re- 
 main on the statute-book as it was first 
 introduced, by which 4 per cent was dedneir 
 ed from salaries of $600 and over, and 2^ 
 per cent from salaries under $600, the fund 
 would have been self-sustaining. In fact, 
 hiad it been honestly administered, as I will 
 prove later on it has not t)een, it would 
 have been more than self-sustaining. Buit, 
 after the Act had been in force some three 
 years. Sir Leonard Tiiley.when Finance Min- 
 ister, introduced an amendment to it, pro- 
 viding that the sum deducted from the 
 salary of civil servants should be re- 
 duced—on tsalar.as of $600, and over, from 
 4 per cent to 2 per cent ; and on salaries 
 under $600, from 2^ per cent to m per 
 cent. That cut down the receipts under the 
 operation of che Act, 50 per cent The re- 
 sult was that, owing to the large number 
 of civil servants who were superannuated 
 from year to year, the superannuation fund 
 became a drain upon the country's re- 
 
sources, which grew worse and worse from 
 year to year. Now, I will give the receipts 
 and expenditures on account of the fund 
 for each year during its operation :

 This shows that during the time the Act 
 has been In force, some twenty^;wo years, 
 the total receipts were $1,239,094.08. and 
 the total expenditure, $3,770,963.83 ; 
 or a net loss to the country of $2,531,869.76. 
 The number on the list of superannuated 
 officers at the end of 1893-94 was 551. 
 The gross amount paid to them is $262,302. 
 The average amount co each Is $476. The 
 total amount contributed by those now In 
 the Civil Service during the last year 's 
 $63,944.67. The total number on the Civil 
 Seivlce list last year who contributed to 
 the fund was 4,685, and the average amount 
 contributed by those who are now in the 
 Civil Service Is $14.10 annually. I contend 
 that the Act has been very much abused. 
 Had it been administered as originally in- 
 tended, the amount which the country has 
 been called on to pay would not have "been 
 sacrificed. The Act, however, was only in 
 force a few years when it was used as a 
 means to remove civil servants from the 
 positions they occupied and place them upon 
 a retired allowance, in order that room 
 might be made for o thers who were pressing 
 their services on the Government. Now, to 
 show the position in which the Civil Service 
 now stands, and to proee that there Is no 
 necessity, from a financial standpoint, why 
 superannuation should be continued, let me 
 give the figures from a return that 
 Mas been placed before Parliament, of the 
 
 number of civi? servants In the employ of 
 this country on the 30th June, 1894. 
 and the average salary paid. It will 
 be found that we have in the inside 
 service in the city of Ottawa, 898 employees 
 altogether. They draw a gross salary of 
 $1,095,723.50, or an average salary of $1,220 
 each. Then we have the outside service, 
 consisting of 3,787 employees, who draw a 
 gross amount of $2,830,063.30, or an average 
 salary of $74'^. Taking the inside and the 
 outside service together, the averagel salary 
 of all the employees of thJfj Dominion, on 
 the 30th June, 1894, was $838. Now, I con- 
 tend that the Civil Service are fairly well 
 paid. There is no other class In this Domin- 
 ion who get an average salary of $838 per 
 "ear. School teachers do not get that much, 
 neither do ministers of the gospel. Take the 
 bank clerks throughout the Dominion, and 
 I venture to say that they do not get an 
 average salary of $838. You will get no 
 other class in this Dominion that, on the 
 whole, IS as well paid as the Civil Service. 
 They have short hours, good salaries, and 
 they get three weeks holidays during the 
 summer, during which their salaries are al- 
 lowed to mn. Under theise circumstances, 
 there is no ground whatever why we should 
 be asked, in the straitened condition of our 
 finances, ito oontxlibute not only the groes sum 
 of over $200,000 a year, but to keep adding to 
 the list of superannuated civil servants and 
 thus add to the drain on our resources from 
 year to year. To prove that the system has 
 been grossly abused, to prove that hon. gen- 
 tlemen opposite have, year after year, uti- 
 lized this Act for the purpose of making 
 room for those who were pressing their ser- 
 vices on the Government, let me mention the 
 fact that on the list of superannuated ofll- 
 clals there are eighty-four who are superan- 
 nuated under the age of fifty, and a conslder- 
 fible number superannuated under the age 
 of forty. It is evident that a number of 
 those who were removed to make places for 
 others who were urging upon some mem- 
 bers of Parliament or upon the Cabinet the 
 engaging of their services by the country 
 at a good round salary. I claim that, with 
 the facilities enjoyed In Canada for life In- 
 surance, It would be much better to leave 
 the civil servants to provide for themselves. 
 In case of sickness or old age, by taking 
 advantage of the very cheap systems of in- 
 surance now in force rather than to com- 
 pel them to contribute to this fund. In the 
 hope that they will reap the benefits of su- 
 perannuation. I am glad to be able to say 
 tha^j I have good reason to believe that the 
 Civil Service Is In favour of the measure 
 I am now advocating. The salary of each 
 one *s subjecrt: to a i-eduction of 2 per cent 
 annually, and those who die in the service 
 never get any benefit, nor do their relatives, 
 from this drawback on their salary. It is 
 in a great measure only the Incompetent 
 
 I

 class, who have put In a few years' service 
 and are In the way of the more efficient 
 c'iass, who reap the benefit of superannua- 
 tion. Then, the only other class which gets 
 any benefit consists of those who were re- 
 moved because their places were wanted 
 for others. These are the two classes that 
 fill the superannuation list. We have through- 
 out the country many evidences of the ap- 
 plication of the system iu this way. Take, 
 for Instance, the post'mastershlp of Mont- 
 real. Mr. Lamothe, who used to be post- 
 master, had served a term of twelve years, 
 and Mr. Dansereau was very anxious to get 
 his place. Through the influence, 1 presume, 
 of Mr. Chapleau, now Lieutenant-Gov- 
 ernor of Quebec, he secured the superan- 
 nuation of Mr. Lamothe, at an allowance 
 of some $2,000 a year, by adding eight years 
 to his term of service. Mr. Lamothe was 
 superannuated at that ngure, and is now en- 
 joying lif« in Montreal on that ample allow- 
 ance, and -Mr. Dansereau was appointed in 
 his place at $4,000 a year. You can go 
 through the whole country, from the At- 
 lantic to the Pacific, and find evidences of 
 the scandalous abuse of that Act in every 
 city and town. On 30th December, I see 
 the Government were still continuing to 
 use this Act in a manner contrary to the 
 interests of the people. The return pro- 
 vided for under this Act and laid on the 
 Table of the House this year shows that 
 on the 30th December, 1894, the Government 
 had, during that year, added 57 to the list 
 The gross amount payable to the 57 as 
 long as they live, is $22,710.33 per year. 
 There have been gratuities given to some 
 five In addition to the number super- 
 annuated, amounting to some $2,631. 
 Now, I notice that some have been super- 
 annuated who have not served the number 
 of years provided for In the Act, which 
 makes ten years the minimum term of ser- 
 vice in order to qualify for superannuation. 
 In order to get over that the Government 
 have utilized another clause of the Act which 
 authorizes them to add years to the term 
 of service for reasons such as etilclent 
 service, technical knowledge of some par- 
 ticular subject, and so on. Mr. W. G. Gouin, 
 a culler In receipt of $500 a year— the cullers 
 are employed only In the summer time as 
 there Is no culling to be aone In winter- 
 served five years. He Is now 37 years of 
 age. The Government added ten years to 
 his term of service and granted him an al- 
 lowance of $150 a year for the rest of his 
 life. Thomas Malone, also a culler^ on a 
 similar salary, served eight years, had ten 
 years added to his term of service and now, 
 at 37 years of age he is retired on a pension 
 of $108. Out of the 551 names in the super- 
 annuation list, hon. gentlemen opposite have 
 superannuated 429. Since the year 1880 
 they have superannuated 412 civil servants, 
 
 so that there is a very small percentage 
 on the superannuation list to-day who were 
 not superannuated by hon. gentlemen oppo- 
 site. While I am on this point, I will give a 
 few more names to show how this Act has 
 been abused :

 If the Act had been honestly administered, 
 as the Superannuation Act in England is ad- 
 ministered, the balance would be on the right 
 side of the ledger to-day. Every possible ex- 
 cuse that can be used hab been used in order 
 to superannuate men who were filling lucra- 
 tive positions that were wanted for others. 
 The result is that over two and a half mil- 
 lion dollars of the people's money have virtu- 
 ally been wasted. Let ma give you a state- 
 ment that I have prepared, showing the 
 amount that has been paid In and the 
 amount drawn out by a number of those 
 on the superannuated list. Shortly after 
 Parliament opened, I procured an order of 
 the House for a return that would give us 
 the full amount that had been paid In by 
 each civil servant now on the superannuated 
 list and the gross amount drawn by him 
 from the fund up to the present time. For 
 some reason that return has not been brought 
 down. It Is not one that would take a great 
 deal of work to prepare. I made up my 
 mind that I would not delay the second 
 reading of my Bill for the return, for fear 
 it should not be presented during the present 
 session. Now, in the statement I have pre- 
 pared fhe am.ount paid in Is based upon the 
 last three years of service, so I am virtually 
 giving them ci*edlt for more than they have 
 paid in, for it is well known that civil ser- 
 vants get an Increase of $50 or $100, or, in 
 some cases, $200 per year. And basing the 
 calculations of their payment to the fund on 
 the last three years of their service, gives 
 them credit for a larger emount than they 
 are entitled to. Bu*; I want to give credit for 
 the full amount, and even more, as I am 
 charging them with the full amount they 
 have drawn. This is the list I refer to :

 My reason for detaining tlie House by 
 leading over this list is to point out 
 the objectionable manner in which the 
 Act is administered. I have given those 
 who have 'been drawing on the re- 
 sources of the Dominion credit for 
 more than they have paid, and the amount 
 drawn for superannuation is that which will 
 ba drawn up to the 30th of this month. I 
 
 may add that every name on the list is that 
 of an officer who has been superannuated 
 by hon. gentlemen opposite. I contend that 
 under these circumstances, in face of all 
 these facts, it is quite time in the interests 
 of the country that we should abolish the 
 system. There is no necessity to keep it in 
 existence, and I now move the second read- 
 ing of the Bill.
