Legislative Assembly Leo F. Rossiter : I could go on for hours implementing this and I say, Mr. Speaker , this is a deliberate attack by this party, the Government, and Mr. Sigsworth in particular. Now, Mr. Speaker , we want to know what this Government has done? This Government has not kept its promises. It has not produced. It has let the people down with its false promises which they have no intention of keeping. Mr. Speaker , the people of this Province are demanding production. That is what this Island is looking for. A Government that will produce. Not empty promises, mean¬ ingless statements, fancy phrases, all to mislead the people. We need a constructive Government, not an anti-industry Government, not an anti-farmer Government. We want a Government that will, with constructive ideas, instead of good government they present dictatorship, instead of sound administration they offer irresponsible government run by commission and boards made up of Liberal hangers-on and de¬ feated candidates. Hon . Cecil A. Miller : Hurrah, Hurrah. (Applause) J. Russell Driscoll ( Third Queens): In rising to speak on the Draft Address at this time I hasten to assure you, Sir, that I will be very brief and possibly what I will have to say will not be music to the ears of the Government or the Opposition either. I join with other Speakers, Mr. Speaker , in complimenting you on your very efficient manner which, at times, is very difficult and I think you are doing exceptionally well under the circumstances. I'd also like to congratulate the Mover and Seconder of the Reply to the Speech from the Throne. Mr. Speaker , when I accepted the nomination for the of Queens to contest this seat in this Legislature, I did so because I hoped that I would be able to contribute some¬ thing of a constructive nature for the betterment of this Province and for my fellow man. But the position of a back bencher in any Government, Mr. Speaker , is very often frustrating, because more often than otherwise you do not know the plans or policies of Government until they are initiated and by that time it is too late to give an opinion or to voice a protest. Each and every member of this House is given a trust by the people who have elected him and he creates an image for himself by his behaviour in this House and his behaviour reflects credit or demerit on this Legislature. It is not my intention to criticize the Government of the day or any of its members because, if I did, I would have to criticize the members of the previous Government of which I was a part as well. They're all personal friends of mine and, in their own way, they are trying to do what they can in the interest of the people of this Province. Mr. Speaker , perhaps I have lots to criticize them for but in this ecumenical age of charity and brotherly love, coupled with the holy spirit of Lent, I shall refrain from doing so. But I say to you, Mr. Speaker , and to all Members of this House that the honeymoon is over. The people of this Province are not going to be fooled any longer by such gimmicks as free taxes, free school books, free hos¬ pitalization, free Medicare and a few yards of pavement for political advantage only and have cost the people of this Province millions and millions of dollars. I am convinced, Mr. Speaker , that both political parties have, more often than otherwise, more concern with getting elected than in the serious implications for results to the various programs given at political heat to the intelligent elector at election time in this Province. And at this time, Sir, I am reminded of a little story I heard one time about a doctor, a lawyer and a politician who were discussing at what time their professions were initiated into this world. The doctor claimed his was the first because who would take care of the people if he wasn't here. The lawyer said he was because who would take care of the problems in the chaos created in the world. The politician said he was because he created the chaos in the first place. And now, Mr Speaker , I am deeply convinced that the time has come for the party which has the gumption to place before the people of this Province a policy which is honest sincere, and progressive, and is within the financial capability of our Province, will be the Government elected by the people and for the people. (Applause) J Sinclair Cutcliffe (Second Queens): Mr. Speaker , on rising to take part in our Draft Address , this being my second speech in this Assembly, I would once again Sir commend you for the job that you're doing. I know it s not an easy task at times and I do hope that you continue to keep order and decorum within these walls, as you have shown so well during this sitting. I would like also to express my personal thanks, being on a couple of the committees, to the pageboys, to the other staff, and the commissioners here in the Building for all courtesies that have been shown to us and do hope that this continues and hope that we can still remain on —298—
