Friday, April 14, 1967 a tidy little business there, cold storage and a lobster and jam factory; the promoters of this industry were guaranteed a loan of $30,000.00 and subsequently the loan was repaid with interest by the Government. But as soon as this loan was received, within two or three weeks, the windows of this factory and cold storage were all boarded up and has remained a closed shop ever since. So it took the Province, the $30,000.00 of Provincial Government money, to close this industry in Montague in order to take some of the good Conservative promoters off the financial hook. Now. I will say that in Montague, subsequently, you did promote the Langley Food Processing Plant than, this has proven a very good industry. I think a little more supervision at the tiflM might have helped. I am told that the designer and builder had no plans what¬ soever except those which were in head, but however he did manage to complete a plant there. It has given a lot of employment and I think it's soundly based although it has some financial growing pains at the moment. It's serving a very very useful purpose indeed. This was one of your better programs under your Industrial Develop¬ ment Program. It was mentioned in this House last night, one of your last pieces of Industrial Development on the last day the Conservative Government met on July 26, 1966 an Order-in-Council was passed being order No. 642/66 under the Industrial Establish¬ ment Promotion Loan Act , a loan was made to Robert J. Dorgan , Cardigan, R.R. No. 1. This order read: "Council did and doth hereby approve of a loan to Robert J. Dorgan , Cardigan, R.R. No. 1 in the amount of $12,600.00 subject to the following terms and conditions. The loan will be further charged to the present mortgage in favour of Her Majesty." Now, Mr. Speaker , Mr. Dorgan had already received a loan of $8,000.- 00 in 1961, again he got short of cash in 1962 and received another loan for $1,000.00 TUa $8,000.00 and $1,000.00, $9,000.00 with interest amounted to $10,773.26 on the first day of April 1966. The only payment that Mr. Dorgan had made during this interim was $43.00. Now in spite of this default, and in spite of this ridiculous record which this man presented, he was again made a loan of $12,600,000 Now why was this loan made? Well, this is the same Mr. Robert Dorgan who ran in an election in the Fourth District of Kings. When the Conservative nomination was called at Murray River , there were no takers, nobody appeared, and it was necessary to postpone the nomination. A couple of weeks later the nomination was recalled and two gentlemen appeared including Mr. Dorgan to offer his services, so I state, Mr. Speaker , that in my opinion, the $12,600.00 was offered Mr. Dorgan in payment for bis services. This is to me, in my opinion a shameful proceeding for a Government to do and I think all Members of the Council that were present on that day had an equal share in this responsibility. Now, I do not propose to go into this Georgetown Development which has been very popular in this House, and while Opposition Members argued that this House has senior rights and privileges over a mission, there is no doubt that this is so, that we do have constitutional seniority. But nevertheless I am hopeful that the Royal Commission will bring forth an impartial study of this matter that would not be pos¬ sible to be accomplished within this House. I know that Opposition Members at times during this session would like to defend their actions and hide the fact that their wond¬ er boy, Jens Moe, came to this Province with nothing of his own to invest and secured the Government's financial support for many millions of dollars. The Vikings of old plundered the coast of Europe in the tenth century and on, but I would state, Mr. Speaker , that no financial support from this Government would have been sufficient to keep these industries running under the conditions of bad man¬ agement which prevailed, and under the conditions which prevailed by Mr. Moe trans¬ ferring funds from one company to another, like Heinz pickles, he's like various com¬ panies, there were fitfy-seven varieties. He transferred funds from one company to another at will both within and without Canada . This was thought to be a proper place for the Government to place it's confidence in further support with these con¬ ditions prevailing. Now, I think the Leader of the Opposition was most sincere in his defence of his Industrial Development Program , but I feel at times in the past Government the left hand didnt know what the right hand was doing and that some of the Industrial Development which took place was not in the best interests of the Province. I would like to refer for a moment to this building which was originally termed "The Shaw Centre" and now known as the Provincial Administration Building. I am —181—
