Frances Russell, a
member of the
parliamentary press gallery

‘and correspondent for the
Vancouver Sun, said of the
bill: “By giving the Cabinet
the right to switch money
allocated by the legislature
from one part of a depart-
ment to another, the
Government
Reorganization Act has
abrogated not only the
legislature’s control over
the purse-string, but also the
legislature's ability to keep
track of government ac-
tions.” .

Both ‘the Vancouver
Province, which editorially
supported the Social Credit
Party in the last’ election,
and the Victoria Times,
which supported the New
Democratic Party, have
called on the government to
listen to Opposition
criticism and repeal the Act.

The government called
the Act “routine”. Somehow
] cannot believe that
abolition of a basic liberty
which seriously jeopardizes
the integrity of parliament
can ‘be considered
“routine”. We have known
for years, of course, that the
Social Credit Party does not
like the parliamentary
system all that much. That
is why they fought against

highway haul and present
road system to process the
timber in Vanderhoof.
