Thursday, March 7, 1968 Then they say they are not getting enough. Well the ones that were sent out be- fore the election, 90% of them didn't ask for it; they just heard they were in need of welfare so they sent it out to them. I was very surprised the other day when my good friend from First Queens suggested we take off the $23.50 off the old people. I think, Mr. Speaker , that he is very sorry for saying that; it was a fickle attempt so I am not going to say any more. Some Member : You will fix it up for him. Hon . Robert E. Campbell : I'll fix it up, I am going to fix it up for him. (Laughter) Also in the speech the other day that my good friend from the of Prince delivered, the man who is hoping to get one more vote more than Lloyd Henderson got, that will be two in the Leadership Convention. I would like to re¬ mind this friend of mine about a woman in 1966 who was getting $30.00 under the Conservatives, and I want you to take note of this Doctor, or my good friend, she was receiving $30.00 and today she is receiving $60.00 and we also did work on a home for her of $600.00. Do you think that is a very good thing to do, Mr. Speaker ? Also another lady that was receiving, in 1966, under the conservative government $35.00 and today she is receiving $75.00. These were some of the people that he was complaining about. L. George Dewar : She is still not getting enough. Hon . Robert E. Campbell : I know she is not; I know she is not. Walter R. Shaw : Has she got a pump? Hon . Robert E. Campbell : Yes she got a pump, and if she would move out of that back country I think that the Welfare would even help her get a home, to get her out in the First District of Prince, out of the , I don't know but they tell me she is a Conservative and the First District of Prince needs all the Conservatives they can get. (Applause) L. George Dewar : You are talking about Walter Gordon . Honourable Robert E. Campbell : I feel very sorry for the member from Sixth Queens. The former Attorney- General . He seems to be awful sad this Session, he seems to be all in a ... . But I can tell you, Mr. Speaker , what the trouble is; he didn't get the Judgeship. (Applause) I feel sorry for you, Sir, but probably in twenty-two or twenty-five years time you might have a chance of getting it again, if you are not too old. (Laughter) I would like at this time to congratulate our Minister of Highways; he is doing a wonderful job. (Applause) And this is one man that the Opposition will agree with if they don't agree with any of the rest; they will have to agree with our Minister of Highways. (Applause) Now, Mr. Speaker , on highways. I mentioned about the streets in O'Leary that were paved. I will say that in the last two years there have been more sec¬ ondary roads rebuilt, more provincial pavement laid in the last two years in the First District of Prince than there has been for years, because it all went to the . We didn't get any — not too much; we got a little — but what we got was very little, I will say. I will say that the Minister of Highways is doing- a wonderful job ploughing roads. I think that this man should be congratulated on the wonderful work, Mr. Speaker , that he is doing. And as you know, Sir, Mr. Speaker , you represent the First District of Prince and I will say probably you have never heard a complaint this winter on our roads, and I have never received a complaint this winter on roads in the First District of Prince so I say "Thanks" to the Minister of Highways, Mr. Speaker , for a job well done. (Applause) We have our own maintenance crews now that are doing a good job and our sand trucks are doing a good job. Everybody is very, very happy about it. Now, I'm the awful fellow that last year they said, "Well, why didn't you mention liquor". I was a —167—
