Legislative Assembly I would like to congratulate all our villages and our towns and cities in this Province for the wonderful job which they carried out last year, Centennial, in cleaning- up and beautifying their towns. I would like to extend a special congratulations to the Town of Summerside , and the Town of Montague, first prize and $1,000 prize for Summerside ,, and $500.00 for the Town of Montague. I would also like to extend congratulations to two particular villages along with all the rest. The two would be the Village of Crapaud which received first prize (Appiause) and the village of which received second prize. (Applause) I feel that this is a worthwhile project on behalf of my Department, and I feel that the villages and the cities will be looking forward to a clean-up this spring and carrying out this project another year. It only started last year, Mr. Leader of the Opposition, last year was the first year they received any prizes or grants from the Provincial Government. (Applause) Walter K. Shaw : They cleaned-up different times. Hon . M. Lome Bonnell : Yes they clean-up many times but this is the first time they got recognition, they got no recogition in the past. May I say this also, Mr. Speaker , that each village in this province received $200.00 to assist them in this work and the City of Charlottetown , and the Town of Summerside received $500.00 to assist them in this clean-up. To these villages, towns and cities I want to extend my sincere apprecition for their efforts in clean-up during our Centennial Year . Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Hon. Cecil A. Miller ( Third Queens) Minister of Industry and Natural Resources and of Fisheries: Mr. Speaker , it's a most pleasant undertaking for me to extend to you our pleasure in having you once again occupying the chair and presiding over the functions of this House. You, Sir, are carrying out your duties in a just and impartial manner and, by so doing, have gained the respect and admiration of all Members of this House of Assembly. I do offer my congratulations to the Mover and the Sec¬ onder of the Speech from the Throne. Both Honorable Members acquitted themselves in a manner which produced pride in the hearts of their listeners within this House of Assembly. Both Honorable Members delivered impressive addresses containing a wealth of information that could be gained in no other manner than possession of expert knowledge of their subject. I do wish to extend my sympathy to the family of the late C. C. Baker of Kensington who, for many years, sat as a Member of this Legislature and gave much to this Province while occupying the portfolio of Agri¬ culture. I also extend to my colleague, the Hon Elmer Blanchard , deep sympathy in the passing of his father. A good and great Islander has gone to his reward. I also would like to extend my sympathy to the family of the late Mrs. MacDonald who was called away so suddenly and left a small family behind her. To her family and all close relatives I'm sure we all extend our deep sympathy. The Liberal Party of Canada and the Liberal Party of this Province have always been known as reformers. History does not lie and history proves that statement. Each had its origin at a time when there were many abuses in the ad¬ ministration of the affairs of the nation or the Province and so it is within our Province at this time. The Campbell Government came into being at a time when honesty within Government was needed. When the old Family Compact which had been resurrected by the Shaw administration had to be eliminated. When plunder¬ ing of the public purse had to be stopped. When waste and extravagance had to be removed. When truth had to be once more installed within Government. When those entrusted with the administration of Government could and would show some sem¬ blance of honor, truth, honesty, trust and, above all, concern for and of the people. On July 11, 1966, the people of our Province had their final say and brought into office the Liberal Party led by the Honorable Alexander B. Campbell . Once again within our party a man arose to meet the needs of the day. Since taking office he has shown leadership, honesty, ability and efficiency. He has extended to all classes, creeds and ethnic groups fairness, and this, in itself, proves we are the party of the common man. We do not seek to defend special privilege. We do not subordinate —254—
