THE HERALD, Friday, October 14,1977 CP survey shows Pressure builds on PM to aid jobless By STEPHEN SCOTT ‘AWA (CP) - Prime Minister Trudeau faces 8 pressure from 8 of alt political stripes and from both official language groups to pay as much or More attention to unem- ployment and other eco- nomic matters as he is to national unity. This is indicated from a series of Canadian Press interviews with MPs that suggest the majority of French and ish voters are concerned about unemployment and inflation and such economic matters 43 a potential crop disaster in the Prairies. National unity is of in- terest to most Canadians. But even in French- speaking Quehecit is not the o. 1 problem, the inter- views indicate. The survey shows that voters in such diverse places as southern Alberta and the Annapolis Valiey of Nova Scotia put national unity on top of their list of worries. But the problem of gettin work and making finance ends meet is uppermost in the minds of most le who talk with their MPs or write letters. The interviews of 31 MPs were conducted by CP reporters in advance of next week's ning of Parliament. They came at a time when the unemploy- ment rate has risen to 8.3 per cent and the inflation rate to 8.4 per cent. The dollar has fallen to record lows on the international money markets. At the same me Trudeau and Premier to Rene vesque, trying e Quebec out of Con- federation, have been front- page news as they debated he provincial language charter— Bill 101. The idea behind the inter- views was that MPs spent part of the summer parliamentary rece discussing concerns with their constituents. Thus they should have a good idea of what now Is on the Canadian mind. No ministers were interviewed. LIST CONCERNS The basic question asked the MPs, from all parties and from rural and urban constituencies, was what is bothering your constituents most? They were asked to list concerns in order of importance from one to five andsome could only think of two or three. The major surprise was the French-Canadia Liberals interviewed: They were unanimous in saying that national unity is at best of secondary importance, behind jobs and economics. “People are preoccupied more with their personal interest and very little with the question of national unity,” said Gilles Marceau, Liberal MP for Lapcinte, Que., who says joblessness may be as high as 25 per cent in his area. But Hal Herbert, Liberal from largely English- speaking Montreal Van- dreuil, said: “There is only one question, only one thing that’s worrying people, and that’s separatism. There's no other subject.” Far away in Calgary, Conservative ld Woolliams finds unity on everybody’s lips, thanks to the media. Hugh Anderson, Liberal from Comox-Alberni, B.C., said unity is becoming of major importance in his riding because he is making it so. Liberal Robert Kaplan in York Centre in Toronto and Maritimers Pat Nowlan in Annapolis Valley and J. Michae] Landers of Saint John, N.B., said jobs and national unity share top billing. But elsehwere in the country, where people are O Canada not | really our song OTTAWA (CP) — O Canada, which Queen Elizabeth will hear wherever she goes during a six-day visit starting today, has repeatedly failed to become the official national anthem. ; Each time the govern- ment has _ introduced legislation in Parliament to make 0 Canada the national “anthem, MPs never: got around to passing it. It appears to be a question of Py orities in le eation rather than an ion to O Canada aa the anthem that killed Bill C-158 in 1972, Bill C-11 in 1974 and Bill C-10 this year. Bill C-10, a two-page law outiining the musical notes and lyrics for O Canada, is agenda, ‘left’ over-ffom-the last session of Parliament. But it will be allowed to die with 18 other leftover bills on Monday when the last session is formally ended. The version of O Canada in that bill likely will be among new legislation the government will introduce in the new session of Parliament the Queen will open Tuesday. ‘The Queen arrives today and a protocol expert at the royal tour office said she has the right, at any public activity, to hear the com- pete versions of O Canada and God Save The Queen. God Save The Queen is re- rded through tradition as e anthem of Britain just as O Canada is considered the vanthem by tradition here. But God Save The Queen has pot been enshrined in Jaw as the anthem in Britain either, the official said. It is con- sidered the royal anthem. While the Queen has a right to full versions of both. ‘anthems, Gov.Gen. Jules: : Leger, her representative in Canada, has the right only to the first and last four bars of © Canada and the first six bars of God Save The Queen. This shortened version is called the general's salute. governor- WINCH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL / fA SATURDAY concerned about prices, incomes and joblessness that ranges up to 35 per cent in some parts of New- foundland, find unity of secondary concern. “We're becoming a little bored with the French fact and the national unity issue," said Bert Hargrave, Conservative from Medicine Hat, Alta. NOT IMPORTANT “National unity—I hate to say it—is not of any im- portance in York South,’ said Ursula Appolloni of her Toronto-area constituency. Said George Baker, Liberal from the Newfoundland constituency of Gander-Twillingate: “National unity is not an issue, People are too busy trying to feed the children.” Jack Marshall, Con- servative Newfoundlander from Humber-St. Georges- ‘St. Barbe, added that unemployment is causing disunity. wnen asked tor the five most important issues in his riding, Baker said ‘‘jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.’ Stuart Leggatt, New Westminster, B.C. New Democrat, said a con- stituency survey showed national unity behind unemployment and = in- flation. ’ In Winnipeg James Richardson, who resigned his defence portfolio on the uestion of government rench language policy, mentioned farm income as a matter of prime concem to his constituents. While MPs said they will bring the question of economic difficulties up in caucus and Parliament, no clear picture emerged of what they will propose to deal with the twin evils of inflation and wnem- ployment. NO SOLUTIONS Nor were there any solutions to the serious crop. situation on the Prairies where a deteriorated crop, presuming it can all be rvested, will be sold at de- pre 8 prices. MPs said they will ask for emergency assistance from the government but there ‘was no unanimous in- § dication of what that help . could be. Atlantic MPs were almost — unanimous that something needs to be done about regional disparity—some made a point of noting that their areas are worse off than Quebec. ; They complained that Ottawa is forgetting Atlantic Canada. Some sai this is particularly so now | that attention is concen- trated on possible Quebec separation. On the jobs questions pxuresseed s na reverse concern—jobless from depressed parts of Canada are moving in in an | attempt to cash in on Al-: berta’s prosperity. in B.C. Frank Oberle of northern Prince George said there is concern that the new Alaska pipeline will cause more economic trouble than economic benefit.
