Legislative Assembly

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Yes.

Leo F. Rossiter: Now that you have mentioned. . . . Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Now, Mr. Speaker, possibly. . . Leo F. Rossiter: Will you permit a question, please? Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: No, I won’t (Laughter).

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Sometimes, Mr. Speaker, we wonder where the priorities are within this government? Perhaps this is the time when we should start talking about these priorities in revealing what kind of a government the people of this province were getting only a few months ago. Look at this!

Walter R. Shaw: They know that.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Out in the garden down at the new pro- vincial building we find a few pieces of rusting iron. This group over here when they were in office bought that at a cost of $15,000.

Walter R. Shaw: What building is that?

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: It is called a fountain sculpture and we have been trying to find an appropriate name for it. “Rossiter’s Roost” or whatever. . .

Some Member: “Shaw’s Fountain”. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: “Shaw Shower” how is that?

Walter R. Shaw: What building are you referring to? Some Member: Shaw’s Centre.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: I think the architect may have been in- spired when he named it by the former Ministers sitting opposite because here is the name that he attached to it. “Birds in Flight."

(Laughter and Applause).

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: I must say, Mr. Speaker, that is a very expensive flight.

Some Member: Is that at the Shaw Centre, is that where that is? Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: That’s at the Shaw Centre.

Some Member: Shaw Centre. Oh!

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Now, Mr. Speaker. . . .

Walter R. Shaw: A lot of birds-in-flight right after the election. I know that. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: And they will. . . .

Some Member: We saw them, in Souris.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: And they will try to talk their way out of this, Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt about that, but when they question a four, five, ten thousand dollar salary paid here or paid there for a man well worth “his salt". . . .

Walter B. Shaw: Fifteen thousand.

Honourable Alexander B. Campbell: Fifteen thousand that is paid if he is worth it.

Walter R. Shaw: Eighteen thousand.
