Large bonuses can exceed
the guidelines if they are

proving company profits.

A fourth way to evade the
guidelines is through equal-

' REFERENDUM

| i. PQ sets the date

ready to let the public in on
its decision. —

Speaking to reporters
Sunday following a two-day
closed-door cabinet meeting
in a Laurentian retreat, the
premier said he cannot yet
reveal the referendum date.

A law setting ground rules
for the referendum must be
passed before the time is
announced, Levesque said,
because “if we don’t have a
regulated kind of thing we'll
have an orgy.”

The premier also an-
nounced his 24-member
cabinet will be slightly

enlarged before spring is out

to.relieve overburdened
eabinet ministers, such as
the five who hold twa port-
folios. He added there would.
be no cabinet shuffle before
the end of the year.
