LEGISLATIVE OBSERVER

From “She Prede

VICTORIA (Special) — It took only the first hour
of the 24th session of the B.C. legislature's first sitting,
in historic New Westminster, for the opposition to serve
notice they hope to wipe the almost perpetual grin off
Premier W.A.C. Bennett's tace

They can succeed only spas-
modically, because Bennett's
Social Credit governing party
enjoys a comfortable majority
of 33 in the 35-member House,
to dhe NDP’s 16 and Liberal’s
six. But in the first three days
they managed to get under the
premier’s skin and irrilate him
three times.

The first occasion came min-
ules after the reading of the
Throne Speech when Provincial
Secretary Wes Black moved
that the votes and proceedings
of the session be printed.

This is the only time of the
session when the opposition
can make a direel motion for a
Hansard-type verbatim record
of the House debates, and this
the NDP did by way of an
amendment to Black’s motion.

Any other day they can only
ask the government to give
favorable consideration to verb-
atim reporting. This has been
done several dimes, and ,.has,
passed comfortably with many
Socred “yeas.” But no action
has ever followed the wish,
because Premier Bennett has
na intention of allowing ‘ the
public to read word for word
what is said.

This time, had the amend-
ment passed, he would have
had no choice, When NDP
leader Bob Strachan moved
the amendment, Bennelt was
furious, Until then he’d been
enjoying his one-ring circus
extravaganza —- the opening: in
New Westminster. He didn't
want it spoiled by a debate.

He called quickly for a vote.
to stave off argument. Then he
scowled and shook his head at
his back-benchers, many of
whom had previously voted for
“consideration” of verbatim re-
porting. As usual they fell into
line — all but rebellious Ernie
LeCours of Richmond, who vat-
ed with the opposition. Ben-

nelt’s government won, 31-23,

but the NDP motion placed all
Socreds except LeCours square-
ly against a Hansard — and put
many in a position of vating
contrary to previously expres-
sed sentiment.

ter they previously favored
three times in principle de-
moralized the government. Nor
did it escape the 2800 spectat-
ors, who booed Bennett, a
humiliating experience on his
Big Day.

Wednesday he blew up again
when the NDP refused to let
him rush his tax bill through
three readings in one day with-
out debate, and without giving
the oppositiion (or his own
back benchers) time to study
it. Nor would he commit him-
self to any assurance that the
full benefits of tax money from
Oltawa, earmarked for post:
secondary education by the fed-
eral government, would be
passed on to education institu-
tions once the provincial gav-
ernment assumed responsibility
for the disposal of these funds.

This act implements the new
federal-provincial tax agree-
ment whereby Ottawa transfers
pant of the income.tax proceeds,
to- the provinces. The opposition
wants it earmarked for higher
education. They fear that once
Bennett gets his hands on it,
‘the money will disappear into
general funds and be used for
construction of the Peace and
Columbia power projects,

which are very short of cash.
All other provinces okayed

the agreement late last year.
Bennett didn’t want to call a
special session, so ‘he ‘told
Ottawa he’d get it passed first
thing in ‘the 1B67 session. He
called for three quick readings,
but this requires unanimous
consent of all parties. When
NDP refused, Bennett launched
a furious diatribe against them
for what amounted to refusing
to vote blindly,

Next, he let it be known he'd
like the session to end by
Easter, which at Mareh 26 is
early this year. That means a
shorter than usual session of
81, weeks. Normal sessions runt
to 10 weeks,

The premier didn’t actually
make the request in so many
words. He always says: “We
just open the House; the oppo-
sition closes it.’ So he asked
the opposition for their co-op-

eration. And to put sting inte
the request he said he'd like
to bring down the budget this
Friday, cutting the throne
speech debate by several days
from normal. But ‘this could be
a most argumentive session, so
to give his request a_ sting,
Bennett called the first night
sitting Thursday and has ord-
ered three more this coming
week, It’s a sort of “co-operate,
or- else” gesture which didn’t
escape the opposition whips,

One of the early speakers
last week was Attorney-General
Bonner. The wags here are
calling him Cariboo Kid and
Buckaroo Bob in respect of his
scrambling back into the House
via a made-toorder by-election
after losing. his Vancouver
seat in the September 12 gen-
eral election, And Bonner went
along with the gag by wearing
a white stetson into the cham-
ber. When he rose to speak,
Leo Nimsick, the NDP wit
from Kootenay, called: ‘Ride
‘em cowboy.”

Talking briefly about his new
tiding, Bonner noted that “the
people of the Cariboo, if. they
didn’t - invent. ‘hospitality, : have
gone a long way toward per-
fecting it.” Nimsick agreed:
“They've sure gone pretty far.”

Apart from this sort of ban-
ter, it’s unlikely the Throne
Speech will produce much
worthwhile debate. It was in-
ordinately dull, and as a sup-
posed forecast of legislation to
‘come was qa complete bust, In-
stead of outlining a sound
program of legislation to be
introduced, it chortled through
a list of activities in which the
government had engaged dur-
ing the last year.

From this seat, it appears
that the real debute will not
begin until the House begins
considering the spending of
estimates for each department,
after the budget has been

brought down.

The Editor, Terrace Herald:

Once again the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporatiion hag
seen fit to deny the people of

what they will or will not watch
on TV. I refer, of course, to the
CBC’s knuckling under to the
demands of some minarity
groups.
I really believe that it is
about time, the people of this
country demand the leadership
of the CBC be staffed with
people. The people E mean, are
people with guts, (this is not,
I feel, too strong a word,)
enough ta remember that it is
our money, (in the form of
taxes,) that supports the CBC
ang their jebs.
Although the CBC is suppos-
ed to be a public media, it
seems to me, they are not serv-
ing the public, as a whole, when
they refuse the people the
right to watch what they see
fit,
In the last few months, the
CBC has denied us the rights,
given us under the so-called
“Bill of Rights” to view two
controversial interviews on the
program “Sunday,”
The first being the notorious
sex film?, which was banned
by ‘a minority religious group.
Now they have scen fit, not to
allow.a’ :German’. -politician: to
air his views hefore a public
audience,
Instead, they send the two
interviewers all the way to
Germany to do the interview,
along with all the cost.
All I ask is WHY??? Why
shouldn't we, the. -people, he
allowed to choose what we will
or will not watch on our so-call-
ed public broadcasting system.
Let’s do something about
this.

The Editor, Terrace Herald:

Poor little white girl being
brought up by the .natives of
Moricetown, disease, drunken-
ess and moral sex acts lurk
around each corner.

Yes this story brought a well
known author with typewriter
and color film up 745 miles
from Vancouver to print a story
that took up three pages of the
Star Weekly, —

I wonder if this story in
reverse, white people, drunken
diseased, and moral raising
an Indian child would have
made it in living color in the
Star Weekly, and it does exist
but I haven't read about it.

Now I must write my feel-
ings about this story before
hearing the pros and cons on
Nite Line, tunes and topics or
the conflab on the strect cor-
ner.

Bridgit is getting something
that so many children never
even know exists with their own
blood parents. Love, yes she's
loved by these people. She's
their Queen.

Now should she ‘be ° taken
away? I don't think so without
at least giving these people a
chance, with love like that I
know these people would clean
up their town and lay out the

befitting e Queen instead of
telling them, (most likely in a
language they don’t under-
stand) that they do this that
fete, ete. This I'm sure would
project these people into doing
what was right for Bridget.
Whether we realize it or not
this is a step in the right direc-
tion'to stamp out racial discrim-
