PRIVILEGES. 59 Columbia ?, and Nova Scotia? No Act on the subject, ex- cept one relating to the attendance of witnesses®, has been passed in New Brunswick. Freedom of speech. The privilege of freedom of speech pein is defined in the Quebec Act as follows— “No legislative councillor or member of the Legislative Assembly shall be liable to any action, arrest, or imprison- ment, or damages, by reason of any matter or thing brought by him by petition, bill, resolution, motion or otherwise before the House or by reason of anything said by him before such House.” The Ontario Act contains a similar provision ; whilst the British Columbia Act simply states that “no action at law or other proceeding shall be brought against any member of the Assembly for any words spoken by him in the Assembly.” Freedom from arrest. Freedom from arrest is restricted Poiton as in England to the members personally in civil matters. The arrest. duration of the privilege varies in the different provinces. In Ontario and Quebec it begins 20 days before the session opens and continues until 20 days after the session ends. In British Columbia the corresponding number of days is 40. In Manitoba, the privilege is restricted to the session. The privilege does not extend to offences specified in the Acts and committed by members, as for example taking bribes or disobeying the order of the House. Ezemption from serving on Juries. During the same Service on period that a member is exempt from arrest, all members, Felon. officers in the service of the legislature and all witnesses summoned to attend, are exempt from serving on juries in the province. The Quebec Act also exempts them from attending as witnesses. British Columbia exempts them only from serving as jurors. 1 40 Vic, ¢, 42, ss, 7278. 2 N. 8. RB. 8. 1884, c. 3, 55. 20—40, 3 N.
