______________________________Legislative Assembly ______________________________ Walter R. Shaw : Might I ask a question, Mr. Premier , pardon me bat I would like to get the information. We were talking salaries; yon are talking about archi¬ tect's fees, and you know that that is on a certain percentage on the building. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : They get a percentage, but that man, Mr. Speaker , has no more education than Mr. Gallagher , who we hare been fortunate in obtaining to assess these problems. Nor more professional training in University. Robert E. Campbell : That's right. Leo F. Rossiter : The only difference is that he was a defeated Liberal candi¬ date. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : Thank you, Sir, for that remark. I just want to say about Mr. Gallagher , that he has two years in the Federal Department of Finance, he did the ground-work for the Develop¬ ment Program. He has just completed an eight volume report on the Development Pro¬ gram for Nova Scotia , and we have been very fortunate to get a man of his calibre. This type of criticism doesn't make the job any easier of holding him here. I am confident that Mr. Gallagher is going to be of great assistance in assessing these reports be¬ cause the reports are not going to give us all the clear answers that we expected they might. It will be necessary, Mr. Leader of the Opposition..... Walter R. Shaw : Mr. Premier , you are very intriguing... Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : I hear a speech coming on, Mr. Speaker. Walter R. Shaw: No, I am not going to give a speech. Nobody from the Opposition side of this House criticized anyone, but we want to get information on these $20,000, and $22,000 salaries. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : How many are there? You left the im¬ pression in your speech, Sir, that there were a half a dozen. Mr. Gallagher is one, but the story goes a little deeper, Mr. Speaker. Robert E. Campbell: No, don't go any farther. Walter R. Shaw : Not that price. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : And we find, Mr. Speaker , back in the good old days of 1960 when there was a new government in this province.... Walter R. Shaw : Thank heaven! Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : The eloquent words of the Leader of that Government, and my they were eloquent! "This government is not in power to spend its full time in developing the prestige of the Conservative or any other party, but as servants of the people, to render to the people," and so on.... (Applause). Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : These are fine words, and words which I might adopt, Mr. Speaker , as well as the following sentence. "With special favours to none, but equal opportunities for all." (Applause) "Irrespective of regions or race, or religion, or estate." Those were fine words, Mr. Speaker , spoken on the 20th day of March, 1960. What was going on in the background? We dont question the sin¬ cerity of his expressions in this House, we dont suggest that he was trying to mis¬ lead. We now believe that he was just not aware of what had been going on in the background. Mr. Speaker , I regret to have come across this correspondence from a very malicious and unfortunate situation where, while those words were being spoken in this House, clandestine meetings were being held regularly each weeks of a com¬ mittee which called itself. "The Labour Replacement Committee." Several Members: Oh, no! oh, oh! Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : Mr. Speaker , we are not talking about the "Extermination Committee" that was set up during the Second World War. We are talking about The Labour Replacement Committee that was set up following the 1969 —62—
