eye.

Mr. Matheson went on to say that after April 8, the govern- ment will look after Mr. Monk- “A job is all arranged for him," he said, “but I don't think I’ll name it. He‘ll not be here. That's why I am saying good bye to him."

SUGGESTS CHANGES

Pointing out that he was pleas- ed that a regular schedule of sittings was announced by he Premier, Mr. Matheson said he would like to see further chang- es made, particularly in regard to consideration of estimates, which in the past has been left to the last days of the session.

“When we discuss items revenue and expenditure," he said, and begin our enquiry into the workings of departments of government, we are inclined to

Commenting on the tabling of reports of government depart- ments, 1'. Matheson said “I sympathize with the Provincial Treasurer. This is the let of March and the reports cover the year ending March 31, 1962. In 10 days the reports will be a year old. We haven’t the trea- surer's report yet. It should have been available long ago. I hope we have it soon.”

OVERSPENDING NOTED Referring to two tabled re- ports, Mr. Matheson said “I see two departments have overspenti their budgets by $100,000. I’ll look up the rest of the depart-

ments' reports and compare them wit the 1962 estimates. That's why I want to see the re- port of the public accounts.
