Legislative Assembly

Walter R. Shaw: Pardon me, was that the blue-print presented by Mr. Horace Willis?

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: I would like to know what blue-print that was, perhaps I should. . . .

Walter R. Shaw: You said there was one.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Mr. Rix, Mr. Speaker, was the man who said that he had a great plan — plans coming — he had seen the blue-print but he couldn’t give any more details at the present time.

Walter R. Shaw: That’s right.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: If you are referring to Mr. Willis we will refer you, then, to the Minutes of the P.E.I. Industrial Corporation which was too busy to give any consideration to that particular application. It was adjourned on three occasions without action being taken.

Leo F. Rossiter: Mr. Premier, was the money that you refer to deposited in the International Trust Company in Montreal, by Ginnis Mann Bankers in London,

England.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Well read the statement, read the state- ment. Who was it made by?

Leo F. Rossiter: The deposit was made by Ginnis Mann, Bankers of London, England, to the International Trust Company, Montreal.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Well this is some of the roblems, Mr. Speaker, and they laugh now. Why did they take all the records? y are they

hiding this? Walter R. Shaw: It must be verbal, like the one you had with MacEachen.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: We will look into that, we will get the details of it.

Leo F. Rossiter: You got it. L. George Dewar: Have a look for the blue-prints for O'Leary too.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Now, Mr. Speaker, one thing, perhaps, that is more damaging than anything else that we have heard from the Opposition this year is the criticism levelled concerning the matter of salaries. I think that it was most deplorable show, most regrettable the talk about these co-ordinators, highly salaried, carrying briefcases, more going into the building down there than travelled

into 10 Downing Street through the Great War. Mr. Speaker, this government has appointed one, and only one co-ordinator.

Walter R. Shaw: What do you call the other fellows?

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: The other fellows are people that are coming in and out on matters of business, Mr. Leader of the Opposition. It is a busy

place down there, and there is a lot of business going on and we will be happy to reveal the results of these, of this business. What about that co-ordinator? Why should we be criticized for appointing him? Refer, Mr. Speaker, to the Speech from the Throne in 1966, where the previous administration announced its plans to provide for the appointment of a co-ordinator of federal-provincial programs, and never got around to it. We were fortunate in getting a man from Ottawa, who took a reduction in salary of $4,000.00 to come with this province, and he is making a thousand dollars a year less, Mr. Speaker, than the salary which the Opposition paid to the Executive Assistant to the make-believe-Minister-of-Highways after the May 80th election.

Several Members: Oh, oh, oh! (Applause).
