(2) That in respect of amounts exceeding the sum of $5000. the Commissioners should be invested with full and absolute discretion to deal with each duly established claim, upon the principle of just and reasonable relief, having regard to the considerations hereinbefore expressed and to all the circumstances which in their judgment ought properly to be taken into account.


The Prime Minister further recommends that Your Excellency in Council should concur in the recommendations set forth in the third and fourth sub-paragraphs of the seventeenth paragraph aforesaid.

The Prime Minister further recommends that Your Excellency in Council should undertake the duty of presenting to Parliament such appropriations as may be necessary for the purpose of carrying into effect the recommendations hereinbefore contained, but that the Commission unless further authorized by Your Excellency in Council should not undertake or incur an expenditure which would call for an appropriation of more than $7,000,000, in addition to that already made, that is to say, the sum of $12,000,000 in all.

The Committee concur in the foregoing and submit the same for approval.

(Sgd) Rudolph Boudreau
Clerk of the Privy Council
