Excerpt from Proceedings in the Manitoba School Case: Heard Before Her Majesty´s Privy Council for Canada, February 26th to March 7th, 1895 But as he has not indicated the length of the postponement he desires, I am unable to say whether we will oppose his request or not. If it is a reasonably short postponement for the purpose of preparation, I will not object. Sir Mackenzie Bowell. - I was going to ask you, Mr. McCarthy, what time would you require to prepare your argument? Mr. McCarthy. - It is not so much for myself I am speaking as for the Attorney General; and what I rather gathered from him, though he has not said so in words, was that he desired to have been here himself. It is a matter which involves the educational system of the province, a question which, of course, has attracted a great deal of attention in Manitoba, and has been a subject of discussion in more than one session. I think what he would like is such a postponement as would enable him to go on with the work of the session and to come here after the session. You are aware, of course, that Mr. Greenway, the First Minister, is ill, and the leadership of the House, I suppose, devolves upon Mr. Sifton, the Attorney General. He instructed me that he telegraphed to this effect on Saturday, to the Secretary of State. Mr. Ewart. - I would object most strenuously to any postponement over the present session of the legislature. You are aware that there has already been very great delay in reaching a solution of this case, and that the difficulties that the minority in Manitoba have been labouring under, have been almost insurmountable, extending so far as that they have been unable to maintain a great many of their schools, and consequently the children go without that education which my clients believe they ought to have. If the postponement goes over this session, it will be impossible to make much progress with the case until the local legislature meets again a year from now; because, as you are all aware, if this government decides, as I hope it will, to make a request to the Manitoba Government, the first step is to submit to them some law which it is proposed they should pass: for after that submission took place the Dominion Parliament could do nothing until a refusal came from the Local Government. The delay, therefore, which my learned friend asks for, is not merely for a few days or a few weeks, it is a delay for one year. I think, therefore, that the circumstances mentioned by my learned friend are not such as to recommend his proposition to you. Indeed, we have in the Queen´s Speech, in opening the Local Legislature a few day ago, this statement: "Whether or not a demand will be made by the Federal Government that that Act shall be modified, is not yet known to my government; but it is not the intention of my government in any way to recede from its determination to uphold the present public school system which, if left to its own operation, would in all probability, soon become universal throughout the province." I think those who are responsible for that statement cannot urge as a reason for postponing this case twelve months, that they have not had time to consider their position, for they have had time to consider their position. Mr. McCarthy. - That is not our ground. Mr. Ewart. - Nor can they urge, I think, that it is necessary for a proper presentation of their case that the Attorney General should be here. They have told you in advance what they intend to do, and surely my learned friend need not repeat that. I do not think it can be urged that they have had no opportunity for preparation. It is extraordinary that they have had no time to prepare themselves when this question has been before them for the last four years: and my learned friend has certainly had plenty of time
