“While speakin
House. this week: on the
spénding estimates of the
Honourable Don Phillips,

in the

Minister of Economic
Development, I pointed out.
the need for immediate
action by the federal and
provincial governments to
get ‘the economy moving in

e ‘north country. I asked —
for quick action on both the
N. West Rail agreement and
the D.R.E.E. agreement
between the two levels
government similar to the
Northland agreement
between the Manitoba
government and the federal
government for $138,000,000
for northern development;
$96,000,000 of this federal
money.
- The minister answered
the rail agreement was still
under negotiation.
Hopefully the premier will ©
have something to say on
the D.R.E.E. agreement
when he comes back from
Ottawa.

I think 1 pointed out

Sunday, February’6, 1977
saw the wind-up of the
Legion Sunday afternoon
curling action. Art Hlushak
scored a decisive win over
the Jim Mason foursome
and the Gordon Dickie rink
won a hard fought game
over the Keith Trask rink to
make the Art Hlushak team
the over-all winners. Art
and his team mates —
Gwenda Adamson, third;
Mike Adamson, second; and
Lois Hiushak, lead, were
presented with a large
trophy and four small
replicas donated by Marr's
Enterprises, the honors of
presentation being done by
Comrade Dave Simons,
President of Branch 13 and
Mary Stevens of Marr’s
Enterprises. A vote of
thanks was given to the
executive of the Sunday

-province have faith in the

government but were
waiting for the government
to show leadership. I
maintain this must be done
quickly so the people will
know where the government
intends to lead this province
in the next three years.

I was also critical of the
time wasted by both sides of
the House criticizing each

other without making .

suggestions on how the
present economie problems
could be resolved. -_

Unfortunately no new
ideas are coming from any
Party. Gorden Gibson,

iberal leader, has been
asking many questions on a
report by Pemberton
Securities that is supposed
to indicate that if costs
continue to increase at the
present rate, up to half the
present wood workers will

working in ten years
time. :
_ There is no question in my
mind that if the Federal

Wage and Price Control,
Program ends this year the
costs will increase so fast it
will -happen in five years,
not ten as suggested. by the
report, This is why I've
asked twice this session for
the government to clearly
lay out their economic
policy so that all of us are
prepared for such ‘an
emergency.

The debate on the
Minister of Economic
Development has been

“-doing for four days and one

night; even if nothing else is
coming out clear, it is clear
that the B.C.R. has real
problems with contracts and
will lose up to $59 million
this year, one of the main
reasons being the lengthy
strike and slowdown that
izated nearly eight months.
Many shippers lost faith in
the service and used other
methods where possible.
There is no question this
shutdown will hurt the
economy of the railway for
many years ahead.
