service could be ten times as great as it is today If the company Were equipped with modern boats and that the C.N.R. or Canadian Nat- ional steamships are in a better position to provide that exmnded service than any private company.

"By passing this proposed ras- olutlon we are telling the Federal Government we don't want an im- proved service." he stated. "I can't think of a more ridiculous thing."

He stated that the C.N.R. was providing an excellent service at Borden and had all the accom- modations that anyone would ex- pect. "The ferry iAbegwelt.' provides in. kind introduction to the tourists who are coming here while the re- verse is thought about the boats at Caribou and Wood Islands." he said.

Must. Think of Future

"we must not think of the past but the future." he continued. "If we can only look forward to two old scraps of boat used by other services for years and then brought here then we haven't much to look ahead to,” stated the Minister.

He stated that if there were suit- able boai accommodations at Wood Islands the Government might con- sider paving more roads to that service. He also stated that he would like to see a statement of facts about the Northumberland Ferries Company Ltd. and that he didn't think the company had lost any money on its operations,

Mr. Clark agreed with Mr. savllle that a year-round service was needed in Kings County and he hop- ed somesorvice mlghtbe establish- ed between Georgetown and Pictmi.

"If we pass this resolution we are only giving the Minister of Transport a slap on the face. I would not like to see the House go on record as saying we are satis- fied with the present service. If we do we can forever hold our peace about transportation," stated Hon. 3. Earle MacDonald.

”I believe every bit of credit should be given to the originators of this service. I don't believe that many people will condemn this service but I do believe that many. many people on the Island want a much better service.

"I don't believe there is any company on Prince Edward Isiand with enough capital to extend the services to the point where the people on P. E. I. would be satis- fied," he continued,

"I don't care one bit about the Canadian National Railways, only to get from them all this Province deserves. They don't spend enough here to pay for one terminal in Montreal."

"I dont. know what prompted the mover and seconder of the resolution. I can't understand where the information came from that the C.N.R. would consider tak- ing this scrvlce. No one in the C. N.R. ever spoke to me about it. I doubt very much if the railways would take it over)

He stated he could only remem- ber one strike by the c.N.R. em- ployees and doubled if the Federal Government would allow the cm- ployecs to hold up the ferry service any longer than they did at Borden a few years ago.

"I only use the Wood Islands service because it iii a shorter route to Halifax where the major portion of my family are," stated Mr. MacDonald. "When you go down there you never know if you are going to get on the boat or not. I would rather have a service that would cost me :10 and that I could use than one that costs only 81 and I can't. use," he stated.

The Minister stated he would like to see a winter service intro- duced in King's County running from Georgetown to Nova Scotia.

Mr. Savvlllc's Statement

Mr. aavilie stated that at the time the Wood Islands service had been inaugurated there had been very little truck traffic back and forth between P. E. I. and the mainland on account of the heavy duty rates.

He said he was afraid truck rates would become prohibitive again if the C. N. R. took over the service at Wood Islands and that as a re- sult people would have to ship by rail. "It would be a tremendous drain on the revenue of this Is- land.” he stated.

He said that if anything were done to do away with the ferry service the expense on the road to Belfast would hardly be justi- fied. "If the Federal Government want. to do anything for P. E. 1. they can open a service from Georgetown to Plctou." he stated.

Mr. Savllle stated that the op- eration of the Wood Island ferry might have been fairly influential in the decision of the Union to al- low the ferry at Borden to resume service during the C. N. R. strike.

Mr. Bell rose to speak on the matter and asked for an ndJourn- merit.

The question of whether or not the public could attend the meet- ings of the standing committees was raised In the House by Mr. R.

of the Opposition stated he had been telling people that the meetings were open and requested a ruling on the matter.

The Speaker, Hon. Forrest Phil- lips stated he would have to refs to the book for the ruling. Hon. Keir Clark, Minister of Education. stated that the committee on education had been meeting in his office and he didn't think the committee would be as free to de- liberate if the meetings were open to the public.

The H-cmler stated that the practice of the House had always been to hold the melting publicly but he didn't know of any can when a ruling had to be made on such a rustic. He stated than were no rules in the local House to apply tosuch a can and that a ruling of the Hotm of Commons would have to be adopted.

He stand that any matter of public, importance would be kan- scrrxad and would be given to the p it they willed.
