machine-gun, an Armalite
rifle and a shotgun thought
to have been carried by the
suspects were found, police

But he said neither the December throne speech nor last
week’s budget gave any sign of that.
LIKES INCREASE

’ While he said he’s pleased with the increase in projected
expenditures on science and technology, Siddon said large
portions of the Funds are set aside for projects on the basis _

of “political consideralions” instead of likely investment

returns,

He noted a new biotechnology, research institute in Prime
Minister Trudeau's Montreal riding of Mount Royal, ex-
pected to be completed in 1986, will receive an estimated
$31.3 million in 1984-05. A manufacturing technology in-
stitute in Winnipeg, where the Liberals have one of their
two western seats, will get an estimated $18. 2 million, he
added,

in comparison, the NRC's * successful industrial
development program which helps industry take advantage
of. scientific. ‘discoveries, will only receive a $10-million
increase in the fiscal year. ending March 31,. 1985, said
Siddon; MP for B.C.'s Richmond-South Delta riding.

Instead of pouring money into a few big: projects ‘‘to in-
crease its visibility in some parts of the country,” the

- government should-spread out the risks-by injecting funds

into the many small businesses. that conduct research and
development, he said, .
The estimates also show total spending outlays for the.
NRC will rise to $502 million from about $153 million in 1983-
A projections, NSERC would get $280 million, up $40 million
from the current fiseal’ "year.
