Legislative Assembly

Leo F. Rossiter: Mr. Minister of Tourism, I have one question. How much provin- cial money has been expended at Brudenell golf course?

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: This year?

Leo F. Rossiter: Any year, and the total amount. Now, I want to make it abun-

dantly clear I’m not aginst the golf course in Brudenell but I’m against the way that you are manipulating figures.

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: Well, Mr. Speaker, I would venture to say that you have to, talking about a golf course as such.

Leo F. Rossiter: A golf course, as most people understand it.

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: All right then. If you talk about a golf course as such it

will probably cost this Province, by the time that it is completed, in the vicinity of, ob, $65,000.

Leo F. Rossiter: $65,000. Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: Approximately, for the Golf course.

Leo F. Rossiter: That’s okay. I’ll take your approximate figures. Completed, for an 18 hole golf course?

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: Yes. Walter R. Shaw: Now, my Honorable friend. . ..

Leo F. Rossiter: Eighteen hole golf course and the club house included? Are you going to use the present building for a club house?

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: Well, now you sit down and I’ll get up.

Hon. Robert E. Campbell: Let the man make his speech. Let the man make his speech.

Leo F. Rossiter: That’s okay. I don’t care if you are. $65,000 is your estimate at the present time?

M. Lorne Bonnell: $65,000, Mr. Speaker.

Leo F. Rossiter Thirty percent one way or the other.

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: That is my estimate as of what the golf course as such will cost Prince Edward Island.

Walter R. Shaw: Now, might I ask a final, pardon me for interrupting Mr. Minister. because I’m proud of you and I want to see that you don’t make any mistakes.

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: That’s right. Walter R. Shaw: What about the club house? Now, that's a very expensive project. . .

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: I’m trying to tell you but you know I can’t get a chance to tell you.

Walter R. Shaw: Who pays for that? Who pays for that? M. Alban Farmer: Let the man speak. You’d better keep quiet and let the man speak.

Walter R. Shaw: I’m getting objections from over here, Mr. Minister, and I. . ..

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: If you’d let me make my speech all these things would come out and you’d have all these answers in continuity.

Walter R. Shaw: I’m going to leave here. Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: No, don’t leave. We want you to listen.

J. Walter Dingwell: Tell it straight forward.
