Regarding construction of the new'nursery, Lloyd could - only say that bids from private operators will only be _ accepted when funding for the project, becomes available, The Thornhill nursery, which. began about three years ago, is basically a transplant nursery. - ; That is, seedlings which have been growing in conlainers ; for. one. year are brought to the facility and: replanted for another year to develop the root system, ~ It will be possible that once the nursery is established i in - the Buikley Valley that it will supply the Thornhill nursery with one year old seedlings, ‘If this is the case, then seasonal employment. would go as high as 30 and full- time employment would increase to Variety Club gets: ‘approval | Herald sn Fe : - TERRACE— Councll approved'a request Monday, trim the Variety Club of B.C, to declare February 19 to February '26 Variety Club Week in the community in conjunction with three, the annual provincial telethon.

I be present for.the budget. " Mulroney had vowed Tuesday that he was “absolutely” ‘going ahead with the trip despite government plans to table the budget. ‘. But Conservative House Leader Erik. ‘Nielsen told” reporters today-that Mulroney made the decision to cancel _ his trip after being told by the prime minister's office late Tuesday night that the budget would not be thoved. - That appeared to-contradict a statement made by Prime Minister Trudeau to reporters late Tuesday, when he held out the possibility of changing the budget date. - And Finance Minister Marc Lalonde said he reiterated to Mulroney today that the-government remalns “willing and ready”. to reschedule the budget to accommodate the trip, the first official foreign outing for the new Conservative leader, provided an early date can be agreed upon. Trudeau, leaving for Czechoslovakia on Tuesday night, _ hadtold reporters “if there is some possibility of arranging it” the budget date would be moved. ‘Government spokesmen blamed the fuss on-:a misun- derstanding of when’Mulroney planned to be away, even though the dates for’ Mulroney's trip were publicly an- nounced last week. Mulroney had been scheduled io meet Pope John Paul, French President Francois Mitterrand and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in his first official foreign trip as Conservative leader Feb. 13-19. ~ * Hesaid in his statement he regrets having to postpone the visit. Spokesman lan Anderson said Mulroney hopes it can be rescheduled bul didn’t kxiow when. Mulroney was-not immediately available to elaborate on the statement :but earlier: today, entering the weekly Conservative caucus meeting, he continued to rail against the Liberals’ “chicanery and trickery” in planning to bring down a budget in his absence. “This is a cheap, unseemly stunt by the Liberals." But the Conservatives have created some confusion about dates themselves. In his Jan. 16 telephone call with Trudeau and letter written Tuesday, Mulroney said he told the prime minister his trip would be Feb. 13-17. However Mulroney’s. office announced last week he would be away Feb. 13-19, A Mulroney spokesman said the extra two days were not mentioned to Trudeau because they fal] on the weekend and would have no bearing on what was scheduled in the Commons. | The letter also said that even if the prime minister had _misundersteod the dates in their telephone conversation, so much publicity had been given to the trip that the Liberals had ample opportunity for clarification. Mulroney said be will not changé his plans to meet French President Francois Mitterrand, Pope John Paul, British Prime Minlster Margaret Thatcher, NATO officials and business leaders. _ He is awaiting a reply to his: letter from the prime minister's olfice, fan Deans, NDP House leader, expressed some sympathy - for Mulroney but said there is no question that a federal budget is more important than a good-will European trip. After repeated demands that the government Introduce a new economic direction, Mulroney would be ill-advised to miss a Feb. 15 budget, Deans told dréporters prior toan NDP caticus meeting today. © “It Mr. Mulroney thinks it’s moré important that he have a chat with Margaret Thatcher and Francols Milterrand then that's an indication of his priorities.” Deans said the Liberals could, In a courtesy gesture, move the budget date earlier. However, he did not want the budget delayed because of Mulroney’ 5 agenda, ‘
