There were fishermen \whose annual income from fishing was less than $1,000. Many .of them could not obtain off-season em- ployment. I

There should be a program for exploring the nation's fishing re- sources, Mr. Tucker said. Much was heard of untapped‘mineral and resources but it was “not at all inconceivable" that the potential wealth in Newfound- land’rs waters was even greater, if properly developed.

Liberal Questions Right Two Ministers To Hold Seals

He invited Mr. Pickersgill to challenge in the courts the right of Mr. Browne and Mr. Macedon: nell to sit in Parllliament.

Mr. Pickersglll said the prime knew he had no inten- tion of doing this and that he was not trying to upset the elec- tion of the two ministers.

CONFIRMS PAYMENT

Mr. Pickersgill also said—and Mr. Diefenbaker. confirmed—that Mr. Browne and Mr. Macdonneli were paid in February and March through governor - gen- eral’s warrants because Parlia- ment had made no provision for their annual $7,500 salaries be- fore it was dissolved last Feb. 1.

The warrants are a device used by the‘cabinet- to make expen- ditures. when Parliament is dis- solved and has not vdted approp- riations to run government serv-

ices.

Mr. Diefenbaker said the gov- ernment had followed “accepted practice," but he did not cite any previous time when ministers without portfolio had been paid by warrant. ' I

Mr Pickersgill said the two ministers had received salaries while election candidates “in de- fiance of the Canada Elections Act.”

He referred to the fact that the Commons recently voted $56,000 for the salaries of 14 parliamen- tary assistance though none has been appointed.
