Mair went on tu comment
that the last lime sumevne
from B.C. was appuinted to
the Supreme Court of
Canada was in 1947 and that
judge had long since retired.

‘The reason Mair gave fur
wanting representation on
the court was that it was
becoming what he described
as a court of constitutional
review. He said that if it was
going to be deciding

wilhout the provinces, He
speculated that perhaps it
was a move designed to fail.

“EH don't want to impute
any wrong mutives, Mair
said; but he urged the
Liberals to find out whal the
people wanted before going
ahead.

Mair warned that the
country was seriuvusly
threatened by the seperatists
and warned against being
lulled into a sense uf false
security.

Mair said he had persunal
