District of Prince what business are you doing here on this job when you are a OonservatiVeBiv‘Mr. Speaker, that is the point. That man was overseas, he fought for democracy, a democratic way of living, but here we have the worst form of dictator- ship that could ever be even thought of, and I sincerely hope that this will not be proceeded with when we have the very fine words of our present Leader, the present Premier of this province when he says. “A better deal for all Islanders." There is the point, Mr. Speaker, that I would emphasize most emphatically and may this not con- tinue in the future because I on no occasion. . . .

H°MSan° Robert 15- Cii'llibell: Mr. Speaker, would the honourable member 1 permit a question? .

Frank Myers: Yes, Sir.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Are you talking about the Labour Replace- ment Committee now? .

Frank Myers: You have asked a very silly question. (Laughter and applause). I am not connected with no labour at all, Sir.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Your party was when they. . . .

Frank Myers: I am just connected with this one serious thing, a man who fouﬁht for his country and planned to give all he had but was lucky enough to come bac .

Since you mentioned that, you don’t seem to take it very seriously. Right in the House of Commons in Ottawa what do we find? Three books there with three hundred and sixty-five pages in each book. I go there every time when I go to Ottawa and that to my mind is the most sacred place of all in Ottawa. How many names are there in those three books and there is a page turned every day. One hundred and twelve thousand seventy-one names.

And I started to say when you interrupted me, Sir, that I on no occasion, nor my colleague with me, ever interferred with any privately owned company. and that should be done away with because I hope we are still living in a free democratic

country.

I have placed on the Order Paper for the honourable Minister of Highways, a very fine man indeed, and I am looking forward to an honest answer.

Now what do we find? I have some papers here but this to my mind is the most saddest one of all and that is the reason I mentioned it first, Sir. Here’s our new Premier, he wasn’t Premier at that time, but he is.standing here free and alone no one else around him to interfere in any way. I wonder what is he saying to him- lf? He says himself, “We Liberals see P.E. Island," that means Prince Edward sland, “moving ahead.” Now this. Mr. Speaker, those words were uttered in May ust before the election under the Shaw administration. He was looking out over the orizon to see poor little Prince Edward Island moving ahead. Somehow or another think there is another thought behind that. I am going to illustrate it this way. can see him stand there alone, and I hear him say to himself, "Am I worthy, have made too many promises. can I live up to my predecessor who I think made a onderful job in the past?” Those, I feel, are his thoughts.

Now, Mr. Speaker, oh this is a good one, I better not forget this one. Walter R. Shaw: Don't forget anything. Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Bring it all out.

Frank Myers: Here he is here, and I am glad the Minister of Agriculture is n his place. and before I begin the present Minister of Agriculture is a personal end of mine a good man who during the last war went overseas and fought for is country as well but he wasn’t so lucky he came back, he was wounded I think two r three different times, and we are very pleased indeed to have him in our midst t the present time. (Applause) I might as well be frank about this, he is just bsolutely no good as a Minister of Agriculture. (Laughter) In fact, he is worse an no good. But what do we find here? Perhaps since the Premier has a hired
