TURNED DOWN OFFER

Dwelling on Liberal efforts to _— gested | promote industrial development,

Premier Shaw said that back about 1956 the Liberal govern- ment turned down an applicat- ion of Seabrook Farms Limited for assistance in establishing a food processing plant in the pro- vince. “‘That’s the kind of _ de- velopment the Liberals were giving to the people of the pro- vince,” he said.

He said that Liberal efforts to help two packing plants locate in Souris ended up with the plant owing the province $300,000 “Then,” he said, “they entered into a lease with Usen for ren- tal of the plants. This- was American firm that got the lease in spite of the fact that there was an Island firm inter- ested.”” Premier said it was a three-year lease witn an option to buy the plants. The plants were sold for $200,000. $100,000 was lost to provincial revenue, It’s deplorable what 1 cae under the Liberals.

“In 1954, they were urged to

wan a brick plant. No action was taken. When the Conservatives came into power, a brick plant was set up. REFERS TO RECORDS

“Record: erals made many loans on which there was little security, many w chattel

| mortgages or less.

“They talk of the $2,000,000 given the corporation by the amendment. I would like to know what information the pri- vate members of the House had when the Liberals budgeted for a small surplus or deficit and instead they went back over $2,000,000. Is it good financing

more tha the approved estimate? It ill fits the opposition to criticize my government when they look back over their own over-spend-

g.

He pointed out that in Liberal budgets through the years there were “sums sufficient’’ set out in the estimates to cover such things as loans, highway and tourist projects, and civic im- provements.

Turning agriculture, the premier said ‘never in history was a better job being done by the department of agriculture. In 1959, the staff was dead un- der Liberal policies; now it 1s rejuvenated.

“There was nothing done on finding new markets until we — into power, now there is

Turning. to poultry, the Prem- ier read from Liberal reports on the industry. “According ta the 1952 report,”” he said “‘it was a discouraging year for poultry—eggs were 32 cents pet

eggs was low; in 1957 the report was that egg prices set a new low; 1959’s report was that the poultry in- dustry was depressed. What did they do? They did not come up with one measure for im- provements. We at least have something on the way to help the industry. New life will be injected into the Premier Shaw said it was “childish and asinine” to blame e@ government for low prices received by producers, unless =~ government had neglected s fundamental duties.

The Premier said “looking at | agriculture, while we have some difficulties, I am told that $83,000,000 was spent in ieee trade in ‘o province last

Turning to federal politics he said that his province receiv a total in grants from Ottawa of $12,037,000 in 1955-56 and proximately $24 million or roughly twice as much in 1960- 61.

Poa PROVINCES The Opposition here boast of balanced budgets at Ottawa = the Liberal regime but they say nothing about starving this and other provinces while the surpluses were being achiev- ed, he scolded. The present federal thie ment has made the money available to the people of Can- ‘ada. Recalling the six dollar extension of the Lib- erals in 1957, he contrasted that with the millions of dollars the Diefenbaker government has poured into the province in var- — grants, public betorno pen- sions, boats and ferri and subsidies. The subsidies on ee and fisheries products ‘‘are in- creased tremendously." There’ s the new subsidy on butter, he
