I. moment" 1am;

man has brought information to this House and made statements here that he doesn’t want to prove. I, as a Member of the Opposition and the rest of the Members of the Legislative Assembly have the right to know; I want to know. I demand, Mr. Speaker, I ask you to ask this man to have this tabled.

Honourable Robert E Campbell: Mr. Speaker, again I will have to tell them that I did not accuse the Minister of Agriculture ......

Some Member: You did, you made the statement.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Only that he okayed the cheque. It was okayed by the former Minister of Agriculture A. B. MacRae. Hc okayed it; I didn’t say that he did anything wrong.

Some Member: You did.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: I said that he okayed it. They are trying to put stuff in my mouth that I never said. Now, Mr. Speaker, if you will keep this bunch quiet over there, I will finish and let somebody else speak.

L. George Dewar: No, Mr. Speaker, the Honourable Member did say that the cheque was sent out to buy votes, and that matter must certainly be cleared up. It must be cleared up.

Some Member: Might I suggest that you consult Beauchesne and then give us your decision.

Walter R. Shaw: Would you do that Mr. Speaker, would you consult authorities because to my mind, this is a tremendously serious thing reflecting u n the honour of people that were in this Legislature. Now, I am asking you in al sinceri that you settle because it can’t go with an implication of that kind. I don’t care w ether it is a Grit or a Tory. It must not be permitted in this Legislature.

Henry W. Wedge: Mr. Speaker, if this business is allowed to be permitted to use an item like that, and read from it, and make an accusation, where is this goin to end? Anybody in this House can think up and say, here, so and so did this and di that and they could be bluffing the people of this Province right and left and I think we should have the proof. We want to know just who this cheque was made out to and we will investigate why it was sent out, whether it was from the Grain Assistance Board or what it was, and we will also confer with Mr. Rooney, too, and find out what the question is.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, if they knew how much stuff I have in my possession, they would drop right now.

Some Member: Well, if it is like that, you had better drop it.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Now if they want to go any farther with it, I am willing to go on farther. But when I table one thing, I am going to table twenty- five to thirty more.

Some Member: Oh yes, I am scared of that.

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: No, Mr. Speaker, if they will let me carry on with my s h, if not, there will be more come out of this cheque than they want to know anyt ing about. Now, I do not want to do it, I do not want to do it.

Walter R. Shaw: There is just one other thing. Mr. Speaker, that I would like to say. We want this cheque tabled and we want the correspondence that is in the files of the Department of Agriculture tabled with it, relative to this particular act. Now, the Minister’s name been associated with boggling with Mr. Rooney and some- one else in the First District of Prince. We cannot tolerate that and these people are not here to answer for themselves; to study this book you will find in a dozen or more different places that this cannot be permitted in the Parliament. That’s all,

Honourable Robert E. Campbell: Mr. Speaker ......

Mr. Speaker: I believe that the whole issue should be dropped.

Walter R. Shaw: No, I am not willing to drop it at all. I’m not willing to let _109_
