Monday, April 24, 1967 is now a patient in one of our institutions wrote a little verse about the "Iceland II" which I would like to read. "From Souris Harbour they did sail, Bound for the open sea, Never knowing that very soon They would meet with tragedy. She was one of a fleet of ships, By the name of the Iceland II. Many times to the fishing ground, She had carried her faithful crew. Light faded into darkness, Blowing up a storm severe. The seas lashed out in fury, And filled men's hearts with fear. Next day upon a rocky ledge, Lay the Iceland II, Broken and bent by the winter's gale, Lost is her hardy crew. For men who go to sea in ships Trials are many, often great. Willing to perform their duties Never Knowing what their fate. Cheer up heavy heart, And offer up a prayer, For somewhere in that Great Beyond, You will find a haven there. Time will heal all sorrow, The sun will shine again, And forever in our hearts Their memory will remain." This verse was written by a Miss A.

First, I would like to say about the Speech from the Throne that it is a Speech , in my opinion, that shows a Government of action, a Government on the move, a Government with ideas, and a Government by the people and for the people. What I say here, Mr. Speaker , is that in my time in this Assembly that after an elec¬ tion a Government is sworn into power and they are to do a job. The people have spoken, the people have put a certain party in power and turned the reins of govern¬ ment over to that party, and those in the Opposition were told by the people where they were expected to act. But they don't expect them to act in a destructive, obstruct¬ ionist manner; they expect them to act in a constructive way but at the same time to assist the Government in any manner it can for the carrying out of the government of —284—
