In effect. it was a product of “a m 1 back - scratching match" between Brig. Michael Wardeii. publisher of the Atlan- tic Advocate. and Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker.

People had been led to expect an executive. agency and the government was setting up an

did other Atlantic residents. it would be used to give defeated Conservative candidates ' and as a sort of "waste basket" for Atlantic area problems.

A “terrible disappointment. in big hole" was the fact that the board would be provided with no capital fund from which to assist A tl a n tic development projects.

Mr. Pickersgill led off oppo- sition criticism as the house be- gan debating second reading of a bill setting up the Atlantic Development board.
