Legislative Assembly Oh!!! Hoaoarable DuM J. MaeDoaald : Stop that smiling. Look here, look Mr- lowly at me. Walter R. Shaw : Mr. Speaker .... Some Member : He's putting on a good show. Walter Shaw : Mr. Speaker , always, when yon hurt a person, they howl; and you can always tell when those fellows are hurt, they immediately howL Toa aee that struck home that time. If this Government had gone to Ottawa along with the representatives of the Premier and the Minister of Agriculture of New Brunswick , we wouldn't be having a seventy-five cents per hundred weight price. Honourable Daniel J. MaeDoaald : That's a laugh, that's a laugh. Walter R. Shaw : Well, you don't look as if you are happy and I never saw a fellow laughing that didn't look happy. Now, if they had gone, we wouldn't have got seventy-five cents per hundred, we perhaps would have got it up to a dollar. What did they do? They sat right home here on their honkers, and they never amid a word. They left you, Mr. Speaker , to carry the ball and send that resolution which we put through from this side of the House for some assistance on potatoes. They don't like to hear that kind of thing. Now, when they put that price on of seventy- five cents, they not only put on a floor, but they put a ceiling on as well, and if they had put that up to a dollar per hundred pounds.... Honourable Daniel J. MaeDonald : Why didn't you make it a dollar? Walter R. Shaw : The price of potatoes would be operating at much better than a dollar on the market. They wouldn't have lost any money; but no, they didnt get that and they don't like to hear this. Neither do they like to hear that the dairy industry in this Province is suffering at the present time. No wonder that thousands of farmers are uniting and making a raid on the Federal House in protest, a thing that hasn't happened in my experience, in protest against the treatment which we are getting in the dairy industry. What is the price of hogs? It is eight or ten cents a pound less than it was a year ago. Honourable Daniel J. MaeDoaald : Mr. Speaker , may I permit a question please ? Walter R. Shaw : No, I am not going to allow any questions. I have not time now; you just sit quiet and don't say anything. I didnt interrupt you and I am not going to be interrupted, Mr. Speaker , and I want you to back me up on that. You use that gavel, and if they don't respond to it on the table, go over and get it on the top of their noggins so that they will. Now, there are fewer jobs in this country. There is no question this Govern¬ ment ruined Industrial Development. Read, Mr. Speaker , the records that are put out by the Federal Government; you will find what is happening then. Our Treasurer says there will be no decline in spending, health, welfare, medicare; on education it is up to ten millions of dollars; those salaries, up they went the very first thing. Some Member : Terrible; terrible. Walter R. Shaw : Boy, Oh, Boy: did they do a great job on that, and they certainly helped themselves. They applied it to us to make it look better, but Fd say that I was against it. But those baby boys, they certainly greased up their own particular fat hog, one of the first things they did. Honourable Keir Clark : Now you gobbled it up too. (Laughter) Walter R. Shaw : I am gobbling you up now. Tou are the fellow that is going to be gobbled. (Laughter) Honourable George J. Ferguson : Just let it slide through. Walter R. Shaw : Well, Mr. Speaker , then they say the Government is going to balance the Budget in three years time. I don't think there was ever such a statement made in this Legislature. This man is only juvenile in this thing or he would never —454—
