_"Repor f From clon’ (a

: Agriculture Minister Frank. Rich- |
“ter suffered “the most severe attack:
“of.-his.. career’ in“ that’ capacity..on:
: ‘Tuesday and-:. Wednesday . of. this.
.- weeky: It. took. seven: ‘hours’ of legis-
“lative debate. to Pass ; his. estimates,
» and dam told this. As twice z as s long
* as is:usual. :
“2 AS” the NDP. “spokesman. on agri-
: ‘culture ‘it was. my. lot . to: lead off
when. the minister's. salary vote was
introduced ‘on ‘Tuesday: evening.
_ os) Mrs. --Haggen, NDP. member ° for
~ Grand :. Forks-Greenwood, »had® a
“problem ‘that she «wanted .to: discuss
:. but ‘she 'was.suffering from the flu;
“. and: feared :.that’ she might miss’ her
2 opportunity. - She -asked“me to -re-
view? -her files on..:this particular
‘matter,.and I. spent some two: hours
; the letters:‘and news-
:<.paper ‘clippings she had ‘accumulat:
ed during the past year..."
Although: I held : off: on : ‘this - par:
: icular. lopic it was naturally in’ the
‘back ‘of my. mind when T-first spoke
‘and. accounted for’ the sharp attack
I made. on. the. minister’ s handling of
-his department. generally. eas

‘FELT, Ir WARRANTED:
“It was the | type:-of attack: that I
: Have not. ‘made’ previously. and I did
oo not: ‘enjoy doing it,,but I felt that the
oe minister's conduct: as illustrated by
-* the: Grand : Forks’ affair, warranted
my. attack: :

‘Overa, “year. “ago several farmers
in: the: Grand ® Forks. area: had. their.
airy and . livestock ‘operations. sus-
bended because’ a_high’ level’ of “in.

| solidated ‘revenue. rather.

money. that: has been approved for
his department by the legislature. :

Many’ of the services - that. have
been | given: by the: department of}
agriculture in. the - past are’ now
being: charged .for, and . the’. money
received: is being credited «to .con-
‘than ° to
the cost-of the service.” This means
that while ‘the minister claims’ that
-he “is. spending: $3. million ..on. agri-
which .. is. some
$600,000 less than the legislature ap-
proved ‘for. the year ending March
31,.1965, he is actually spending even
‘less than . this amount,’ because: al-
“most $80,000 is being paid into con-
solidated revenue’ ‘by . the farmers
using ‘these services.

This:is:such‘a small-amount jin our
budget of some. $700 million ‘that. it
hardly, seems. worth* the effort, -the
Anconvenience or the-nuisance value.

But’ even: more. ‘important, ' from
the point of . view. of the. public gen-
erally. ‘and: farmers in, ‘particular,
itis discouraging the” use’. of -ser-
‘vices ‘that. are. designed. to assist’ the
