Excerpt from The Canadian Veterinary Record, Vol. 4: Published for the Profession in the Interest of Veterinary Science, March-May, 1923It is regretable to notice that there Is a tendency for our Provincial Associations to assume an indifferent attitude when discussing Domin ion Registration at annual conventions. There is no doubt that the busy practitioners living in widely separated parts of the country are debarred from taking an active interest in matters of this nature. There is also the handicap of the heavy expense incurred in attending meetings. Then on the other hand it is usual to find extensive pro grammes arranged at Association meetings which crowd the real busi ness into second place.The Record ventures to express an Opinion regarding this impor tant question, to the effect that Executive Councils of Veterinary Associations should do something to stimulate thought and expression on this all-important subject. It was considered when the Hon. Dr. Tolmie obtained sanction from the Government to call a Veterinary Conference at Ottawa in November 1921, that the prospects for unanimity Of sentiment seemed most encouraging. The Veterinarians who attended the Conference were representatives of their respective Associations, delegated to consider some scheme which would even tually evolve a Canadian National Veterinary Association with Do minion Registration. From these delegates a select Committee was chosen to draft a suitable Bill with the approval of the Government at that time.Copies of this proposed Bill were sent to all Veterinary Associations for consideration, and its principles were ostensibly accepted by the Provinces with perhaps the exception of one or two Associations.Since that time very little discussion has ensued and apparently Veterinary Associations are now content to drop the matter entirely.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
