Legislative Assembly Honourable Robert E , Campbell: I wiah you would. J. Cyril Sinnott : So do I. (Laughter) Walter R. Shaw : Perhaps you could have an oatmeal plant up there. J. Cyril Sinnott : Now just one final word on Georgetown before we trans¬ fer both plants up to Alberton , so the Minister without Portfolio would then have some¬ thing to deal with if he had a fish plant there. Now I have here an estimate of the amount of money which the Government has lost in their campaign to date against the Georgetown Industries. In plant, capital expense, interest, and so on, 190,000. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : Mr. Speaker , may I ask the Honourable member whose figures he is quoting from? J. Cyril Sinnott : They're mine. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : You're very own? (Applause) Honourable Robert E. Campbell : Nobody listening to you. J. Cyril Sinnott : In maintenance staff and miscellaneous, $22,000. Insurance power, telephone, etc., $19,000. Loss on trawler operation, estimated, six months, $160,000. Gulf employees time, legal fees, accounting fees, etc., $37,000, and that is a very conservative estimate because I understand that Mr. Stavert made at least two trips to Norway on government expense. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : A Conservative figure, all right. J. Cyril Sinnott : Trawler interests on subsidy, six months at 2%, $25,000. Capital expenses on trawlers, $100,000. For a total of $453,000, the total cost of building Bathurst Marine. There is no production in the past six months and this money has gone down the drain and over to Nova Scotia . There are some additional staggering costs which the people of this province may be asked to bear because of the irresponsible blunders of this Government and the advice of your political, inexperienced, brain trust. Loss of down pay¬ ment on ships, $260,000. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : Are you referring to the "sagacious" Sigsworth ? J. Cyril Sinnott : Yes. It is well for you, Mr. Premier , that you saw through the "sagacious" Mr. Sigsworth sometime around the middle or end of January, and decided to engage Mr. Nicholson because if anyone can rescue you from your present position it is Mr. Nicholson . He has already had reservations about the legality of some of the actions of the Government. If Mr. Nicholson is on shaky grounds then I am certain you are also. Some Member : Did Sigsworth go down the drain? J. Cyril Sinnott : Sigsworth down the drain, yes. Loss of subsidy payments on three ships, 1.85 million dollars federal gov¬ ernment subsidy which you will never get. Total loss of hull fifteen, $800,000. Six months direct costs, as above, totals about 2.8 million dollars. The same as the total cost of building Foods. The aforementioned figures do not include the direct and indirect losses of wages to the men and women who would have worked there. These are also staggering and, as I mentioned, approximately $200,000. Honourable Alexander B. Campbell : What is the total loss now in the last five minutes? —844—
