From Your Member.

‘a Ros Ne CNS ON Se

In reporting to Lhe residents

*. of Skeena the activities that I
* have been involved In since the
election, it would undoubtedly
take (his full newspaper to bring

- into play all the experiences and
* varying jobs that 7 have un-
~dertaken on behalf of my
constituents. However, I feel
that probably you are more

_ Interested in the impressions of
© the Opening of Parliament
* which took place, as you know,
last Monday amid = the

~ demonstration of the Indian
" Peoples’ Caravan, It seemed to
me to be unfortunate that the

“ Indian Peoples’ just cause was
somewhal diverted from its

_ original play by the actions af
while groups which had joined
2 with the Indian Caravan for,
x" their own reasons; If you were
¢» watching television — thal
i= evening, [am sure younotlced a
#_ very large red banner flying
“- over the heads of the dernon-
trators. This banner stated

2 that the Communist and
-; Marxist-Leninist Parties of

« Canada support that Indian |
ae people, It was obvious [ram the

“outset that the Indian people
#2 werenone too Happy to havethe
o2 support given them by these
=, people and, in fact, atlempted to
“ have them leave the Hill at one

+ point. They were unsuccessful
> in this but eventually presented
<> their statement of grievances
< which as we all know has in it
~° elements of justice for the In-
““ dian people. There are great
inequalilies of housing and
education and many of the other
jtems brought forward by the

- group were those that have been
sought by the Indian people for

many years in aur country.

The Minister of Indian Af-
‘fairs, the Honourable Judd
Buchanan, to whom the Prime

_. Minister has appointed me as
. Parliamentary. Secretary, had
- made arrangements lo meet
- with the group at two o'clock in

. the afternoon. The appointment

. was nol kept. He is still willing
- {o meet with them because, in
“his words, “J am willing to
‘ give them the benefit of the
doubt becausa I feel they were
not responsible for the violence

_ which took place’. And I
_ believe a meeting will lake
place before (he Caravan
"personnel leave for thelr homes,
In addition to that, the Minister

~ of Indian Affairs will be visiting

” various Indian communities in
the country; to the East this

. weekend. 1 will be gaing to the
‘: Caughnawaga Reserve in
» Montreal and then later, during
-. Thanksgiving weekend, Mr.
« Buehanan will be in villages in
» Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
. Alberta and, following that,

PAZ

ae

t

_ during the long weekend in -

- November, he will be in villages
* in British Columbia.

’ My own calendar is quite
- heetie these days as I have
> allended, on -behalf of the

. Minister, a meeling in Landon,

Ontario, and of course this
weekend to the Caughnawaga
Reserve, Next weekend, 1 will
bein my constituency visiting in
the Queen Charlotte Islands to
assist in the opening of the Fire
Hall there which was. con-
structed as a Winter Works
Project in the last year and to
hopefully meet with the
Skidgate and Haida Band
Councils if such meetings can
be set up. I will then spend a
day in Prince Rupert before
returning to Ottawa for
meelings of the House which
will begin promptly after the
Thanksgiving holiday.

[In addition this month, J will
be going to Vernon, B.C., on the
18th, 1th, and 20th. for the
Convention of the Liberal Party
there at which I will be speaking
and, onthe weekend of the 26th.
I will be in Kitimat lo be part of
tha Chamber of Commerce
Convention scheduled at that
time,

Wehad anticipaled the visit of
the Ministers Don Jamieson of
DREE and Ron Basford of
Western Ports and Revenue on
the first weekend of November
but itnow appears that (hat tour
will take place on the 15th, 16th

and 17th of November instead. ©

trust that this will be a time
when the Ministers will listen to
the people of the North, rather
than speak, and a time too when

(he constituents of Skeena will

have an opportunity to make
known their views, particularly
on Northern Development and
the social, environmental and
economic situations which
surround that development.

If any of the readers wish to -

have copies of the Speech from
the Throne, I hope they will
contact me as ] would be very
pleased to send them out. There
are several items of particular
interest to us in Skeena in the
Speech from the Throne; I'think
rticulariy reference to the
upgrading of senior citizens ane
veterans allowances and in the
area of transport with the
equializalion of freight rates
and the airport proposals made
which indicate the government
is taking a far more’ realistic
look at the difficulty of travel in
more remote areas of Canada.

“This should be good news for

Fort Si, James; Burns Lake,
Vanderhoof, Masset and
Smithers, 1am sure. There are
a great many areas of concern
within the. Speech from the

Throne that I could discuss but I -

feel that you would probably
wish to read it yourself and
draw your own conclusions.

I willlook forward to being in
the riding frequently, It think
that I should explain that with
the appointment as a
Parliamentary Secretary I
have been fortunale in being

placed with the Minister, Mr.
Buchanan, wha feels as Ido that
my constituency is my number
one priorily, And while I will be
keenly Involved, of course, with
Indian and Northern Affairs, I
feel that the opportunity af-
forded me for access ta the
Ministers and the Civil Service
will prebably make me a more
effective Member in bringing
forward the problems which
you are sending to me in the
mail to the proper place for
their resolution. It is not just
Indian Affairs that I have beena
appointed to, however it also
takes in responsibilities for the
Yukon and the Northwest
Territories, ali National Parks
and Historie Sites.:

There is a proposal by Mrs.
Gladys Blyth of Port Edward
that some of the Skeena area be
considered as a National Park.
She is looking for support in this
and has contacted many of the
communities that are in the
area. I wish to reassure those
communities that there is no
thought on the part of Mrs. Blyth
lo constrain either the physical
expansion of the cities or the

economic expansion of the |

industries which surround
them. A linear National Park in
the Skeena area, if properly
placed before the attention of
the government, could conserve
for the future a part of a historic
river which would ‘be that
dynamic blend of natural and
historic resources, complete
with a transportation corridor,
and protected as a trust for the
future generations. Please
direct your views on this matter
to Mrs. Blyth in Port Edward.

For your reference, my office
telephone number in Ollawa is:
area code G19, 992-4732. Please
contact me directly if you feel

that there is some matter on

which I can be of assistance to
you. Ihave also appointed Mr.
Roy Last, whose telephone
number is 624-5949 in Prince
Rupert, as my consituency
representative in case you are
unable to contaet me directly.

This appointment of Mr. Last Is

for one year. Itis my intention _

to circulate the job through the
riding on a year-by-year basis
as due to the size of Skeena., it is
almost impossible to set up the
traditional constituency office
which is done in the larger
urban areas,

With regard to the Local
Initiatives Program, I have
assigned one or two people in
each of the major communities
to meet with the representative

in the consideration of the

~ proposals made for LIP grants.

There is $755,000 assigned for

distribution in the constituency |

of Skeena and TI. shall do

everything possible to see that it"

is distributed in a fair and even
manner across the riding.

“Premier BarretL is con-
linuing his attempt to cover-up
the huge overruns in, all
provincial department budgets
by telling the people of British
Columbia that thege are normal
and that all. department ac-
counts will be open to scrutiny
in the spring of 1975."

Speaking to an organizational
meeting of the South Okanagan
Constituency Assoclation in
Kelowna today, British
Columbia Social Credit Party
Leader, Bill Bennett said that
the ‘Public Accounts’ to be
made available next spring as

detailed by the Premier in a

press conference today are not
that -- but only the report of the
comptroller,

“This report contains only
lump sum amounis and will
only include figures for the first
hine months-of the current’
fiscal year. What we are
talking about is the full picture
for the current fiscal year; how
the money was spent, who
received it, and why. Unless the
Premier is also planning a
wholesale revision of the
government’s system of
financial accounting, we won't
receive (his information until
the spring of 1976 when the
Public Accounts for the current
fiscal year will be released as
part of the budget: speech.”
Bennett said further that “‘the
Premier knows better than lo
tell he press that the Public
Accounts will be released in the
spring of 1975. He’s been
around longer than that. It's
just. part of his program: of
Cover-Up? ee ee

“The overruns of the Barrett
Government are begining to
look more and more like British

of the Department and myself - Columbia’s first experiment

‘with Socialism under the
Liberal Duff Pattulla Govern-
ment during the pre-war
Years.” ‘

Bennett noted that Pattullc
made the first socialist venture
in this province's history in
1999-1940 by drilling for oil in the
Peace River at Commotion
Creek,”

“On December 5th, 1940, the
Opposition called for an epening
of the books on the Commotion
Creek exploration program and
the government refused. They
conlinued to pour money into
the exploration, and cover-up
from the people the fact lhat

after they knew the program
was doomed to failure. They
spent $1.5 million, without the
people knowing.” an
“Now,” said Bannell, “we
have ‘Commotion Creeks
happening inevery department,
and they are all Rowing right
from the office of the Minister of
Finance.” .
Bennett said.that the Sacial
Credit Opposition had called for
the withdrawal of the budget
when it was presented, had
called for an opening of the
books and had called for an
investigation of the operation of
Crown Corporalions and other

corporations in which the |

government had purchased: an
interest. ’

“We warmed them of the
cyclical nalure of British
Columbia’s economy because
the province's reliance on world
market conditions. ‘They called
us the Party of doom and gloom.

Now. we are beginning to see
the consequences - overruns in
every department at a time
when revenues are surely
dropping below what was an-
ticipated in the budget. The
government continues to build
an: ever expanding
bureaucracy, taking care of its
friends as it goes, withoul any
regard to the developing
economic situation in British
Cclumbla and throughout the
world, . They show no signs of

‘ adjusting to these conditions
and (he monies required to
service their bureaucracy won't
be available when: the’ crunch
comes: lo ‘service’ the needs’ of
the people which should be, as
they once said,
