Legislative Assembly Preston I). MacLure: In Souris . That's good to know. We're going to have a voca¬ tional school in Souris in Kings County. Thank you, that's good news. So we know where it's going to be now. Recruitment of new teachers, Mr. Speaker . If our young people keep leaving the Province at the rate they're leaving today because we do not provide farming for them, we will need less school teachers. A great deal less school teachers if the young people keep moving away. Let us do somethink to keep young people here in our own native Province where they would like to stay if they had adequate employment. Let us start new industries and keep the young people here, which is the life of our Province, Mr. Speaker . Many devoted citizens and organizations have been providing training and facilities for physically and mentally handicapped young adults, it is gratifying to see that the Government is going to take steps to help out in this work which is rightly needed because they cannot help themselves. I would agree with that agitation, and grants to our stud¬ ents will be a help as the cost of education has risen tremendously in the past years airl a large number of those young people must leave this province. They must leave this Province after being educated here but there's one step that we must take to educate those young people that they can make a living when they do leave the Province. But it'd be better if we could employ them here when they do get their education. It'd be better if they could have employment on this Island after they do receive a good education. That is the trouble with myself, Mr. Speaker . I do not have the education that you have yourself or the previous speakers that have spoken before me and this is one of the things that we must look forward to, a greater education for our young people. We did not have the opportunity to learn French in our schools when I was going to school, Mr. Speaker , as the young people do today. It is a great advantage to them when they leave to have two languages to speak and I'm in agreement with this, Mr. Speaker . Reference books, school lib¬ raries, scholarships for librarians; full accord with this and instruction in the French language. I'm in full accord that we should have better education for our librarians •which is a great asset to the Province. We have changed our library system in Montague this year and I think it is increasing in demand, the library demand is increasing each month due to the fact that it is under a different system because of the better hours to get in to the library as to when it was located in the school. There is only one critical point I have here, Mr. Speaker , of our expansion training throughout the Province where people are going to adult education schools. I think attend better. There are a large number enrolled but the attendance is not always very good, Mr. Speaker . A lot of them do not attend. They are not as eager to attend school at this age after they do enroll as young people are, Mr. Speaker . "You will be asked to consider amendments to the Apprenticeship and Tradesman's Qualifications ." This is a good measure and should be Trades Qualifications examinations should be implemented over, I would say, a three year period to give the people that have worked at this all their lives a chance to obtain their ticket in their preferred profession and not to be taken out of their Province because they do not have their tickets for their profession. It has not been required in this Prov¬ ince before but to give those people an opportunity to obtain this ticket of their trade and to carry on with their work in the time that they are receiving it. We need more training. We need more training in some skills. We need more instruc¬ tion because we do not have the instructors to carry out a lot of those trades. One in particular is commercial refrigeration, Mr. Speaker . We do not have enough fully qualified instructors in this field alone for to carry out the instructions for all tradesmen. Now, Mr. Speaker , I will call it 5:30. (Applause) March 5, 1968 (Evening) Preston D. MacLure : Mr. Speaker , hospital workers to have compensation. They should have compensation, Mr. Speaker , as well as any other employees. Now it comes here, "My Governmnt has instituted a system of steam boiler inspection." This must be a Provincial Boiler Inspection, is that right, Mr. Speaker , as we have had to get out-of-the-Province inspectors for the past years to get our boiler inspec¬ tion as we have to have them inspected every year. This will be a worthwhile effort. Labor and management, I don't know, Mr. Speaker , if the Government can do any¬ thing between labor and management or very little, but management and labor must get together and co-operate in this Province, I feel, for better wages for the work¬ ers, for the working people. The working people in this Province have a very low wage rate. Probably not as serious at this time as the farmers plight is, Mr. Speaker , —136—
