Problem.

House of Commons, Ottawa, on March l9. Dr. T. V. Grant said.- Mr T. V GRANT (Kings): Mr

Sir-Riser. Since my time is limited I shall not attempt to debate the matters referred to by the hon, member for Parkdale (Mr. Bruce) in the speech which he has just read. There has been so much talk in this House recently about We Siwrlatie of wood for tiiei that I was bcxuuiuis to think Charlie MWfifl-hv must be getting uneasy.

As those non. members who have spoken already on the budget are anxious to have it concluded. shall. "lake 111i‘ remarks brief and confine ni_v.=t'f to matters rtaiii- 111$ l0 my H1 province o Prince E ward Island. the smallest and greatest province in Canada. If any member of this House doubts that aswrlion, let him remember that in proportion to its population Prince Edward Island has contrl. buted a larger number of men to the three armed services than any other province in Canada; that Prince Edward Island has been the first to go over the to in provid- inti money for the Be Cross, and that Prince Edward Island has been the first to exceed its quota by way of war savings certificates and bonds. We are not the richest province in Canada, but we are united. Like all other provinces we are loyal. We have plenty of good fellowship. We have a good Liberal Government, and c, good conservative opposition. We have no (‘Jo-operative Commonwealth Federation and no strikes. We have no social credit and no in- flation.

Before taking up matters con- carping my own province z should like to extend my heartiest con- gratulations to the Minister of Piu- ance iMr. Iisleyl ilpOn the budget and upon his wonderful qualities of endurance. I would be the last to add to his burden, but I do agree with the hon, member for Danforth tMr. Harris) when he 5115s that the stage on third- class mail shoud have been in- creased instead of the postage on letters, The postage on letters has been three cents an ounce or frac- tion thereof; the postage on cir-

ounces or fraction thereof. Any- one who has ever handled material of this kind knows that clrcula"s are much more difficult to handle than letters. Triey are uneven in size: they cannot be put up in pflokiiges like letters; yet they go through the malls at the rate of one cent for t-WO ounces. and that rate has not been increased. The Minister of Finance would do ivei] to increase the postage on cir. culars from one cent for two ounces [O two cents far one ounce. It might eliminate a 00d deal of that class of. mail mist“, but we could afford to have it

lmintited. besides receiving higher revenue.

Need ol‘ Second Car Ferry

I wish to refer to that need for s second car ferry on the Cane Tormeritine-Borden rotate between the mainland and Prince Edward Island, This matter has been agitating the minds of the people for the last year. A year ago the new car ferry, which cost this country over $2,000,000 was lost. Since then they have been trying to carrv on the service there wi a car ferr which ls thirty years old-ot'er he age limit. I have received petitions and resolutions passed by all the boards of trade of Prince Edward Island regarding thx matter; and according to the newspapers both the Patriot and the Guardian, the legislative as- sembly of that province has passed a resolution askln for the im- mediate construct on of a new clar ferry. I shall read the resolu- ton-

Car Fer_r__y_ Need

Dr. T.V. Grant, M.P. Speaks Out Strongly On Island Transportation

_ Bpoaldng on the Budget In the quirement-s of the various services

of the armed forces in the pro- vince greatly increased the tax ori transportation facilities and gpegt. ly decreased the carryinihcapacity of the car ferry for o er pur-

13-518.

And whereas the present ca: f is being worked to the ut- mos limit of its capacity and has proved inadeqluate to cope with our relght situat on because the SS. Prince Edward d has only the freight carrying capacity o! the SB. Charlottetown;

wh oliune is increasing enormously addition much of the freight formerly moved by stearne must now be ferried;

“And whereas in the o inlon of this legislature it is total v unsafe to rely upon one aged fe . over thirty years old and which al- ready met with two serious acci- dents this winter, to maintain the essential services already set forth;

“Therefore resolved that the leg- islative assembly of Prince Edward Island petition the government of Canada to take steps to build a new car ferry, as a wai- measure to be ready for the 1943 fall trade,"

M00 Minimum Cara

I have several other resolutions here from different boards of trade in the province askino that a new car ferry be constructed in time for the 1943 trade. but I shall not take time to read them. I should like, however, to read a report by Mr. J.W. Boulter, secretary of the potato growers‘ association of Prince Edward Island. who is one of our best authorities. He is re- ported in the press as saying:

"We export annually approxi- mately 3,000,000 pounds of butter, 1.000.000 pounds of cheese, 4,000,- 000 bushels of potatoes, 1,000,000 bushels of turnips. over 3,000.00 dozens of 688s, 1,268 cal-loads o live stock. 223 carloads of dresser meat. 700,000 pounds of cannec meats. 313 cars of fish and cartnec. flsii products. This is the equiva- lent of at least 8.400 minimum cars of food supplies."

‘rhls all has to be ferried across by an old car ferry which ls over thirty years of age.

"Now for imports. In the produc- tion of our crops we must import at least 900 carloads of fertilizers, and if the ground limestone is add- ed it brings the figure well over 1.000 oars. We are unable to esti- mate the volume of space required 0n the ferry to brine in the neces- sary supplies for the oir training centres, the army and the navy- Thls is entirely apart from all the additional materials which must be imported if we are m exist.

“One item for instance is fuel. This rovirw- is dependent almost entire y on coal and oil all of which must be krcught into the province. We are obliged to im rt tremen- dous quantities of mil feeds and concentrates for the production of butter, cheese, eg s and meat pro- ducts without wh ch we could not prodduce the quantities now mark- cte ."

Cites Agitation

The newspapers of Prince Ed- ward Island are teeming with re- ports of numerous meetings, iit which speeches have been made concerning this matter. In fact, a gentleman who was defeated at the last election-naturally he was a Conscrvaltive-sug ested at a meeting in Charlotte own that an indignation meeting should be held in connection with this oar ferry matter. The ma or of Charlotte- town. also a nservative, who holds one of the highest and moist responsible positions in the pro- vince with 11a Department of Pensions and "notional Health, sug- gested, l-oo, that an indignation be held in Giarlottetown. at present in Prince Edward Isand. The people are determined to have a new car ferry built at Once, and we do not want any more procras- tination.

I have asked the Minister of Agi-lculttue (Mr. Gardiner) to have his officials looks into the possibil- ity of cOistructlng a frost-proof potato shed at Sackvllle, New Brunswick, for the purpose of storing Prince Edward Island po- tatoes during the winter. and I feel sure he will do his best in the mat- ter. It we had such a shed, te- toes. after being graded, coud be brought over in the fall and stor- ed at that point; then the shippers in a position to send thorn to any part of Canada 0r the United States durin the winter

n markets woul be at their highest. I believe that last year the loss to the farmers of Prince Ed- ward Island through potatoes be- ing frozen as a result of poor stor- age have been more than enough to meet the cost of such a frost-

Dotato shed.

Five lee Breakers

Within my memory there have been five ice-breakers built by the dominion government w maintain winter service between Prince Ed- ward Island and the mainland. The overuse coat of these ice- breakers has been about 81.000000. Tm,- criai-lotretown. which was lost. cost the government over $2,000,000 and now we are to have another built at a cost of 33.000900. I! add the $3,000,900 to whit it cost to the other five, we get the figure of 080011.000. on, accord- ing to that gven in this house the ot r day by the Min- ister of ‘transport (Mr. Michsud), the last ten years the deficits from the operation of that car ferry have totalled (£000,000. The deficits by

years were as follows:

i I! Ilo add this ‘£000,000 to the

other year we shall still have only one boat, because the old Prince Edward Island will probably be ob- solete by that time. Then we shall have to spend another 33.000000 for another cai- ferry, because we cannot get along with one boat.

The Tunnel Proposal

The public recognim that a tun- nel would be the best solution from a practical point of view, because the cost of a tunnel has been spent since the government began to make an honest attempt to ive us daily winter communica ion with the mainland. 1t would be the right solution from an economic point of view. It would also be the right solution from an employment point of view. in the interest of our returned soldiers. We can talk as much as we like about what we intend to do for me returned sol- diers. It seems that we are to cre- ate a utopia to offer them when they come back, but we might as wel stop talking about that. The social security plan being prepared by the Department of Pensions and National Health and the plan for the rehabilitation of returned sol- diers are all to the good. and I am glad they are under way, but the first thing we must do when the soldiers come back is to see to it that they have employment until the are settled on the land or es- tab lshed in their respective call- ings, and I mink the construction of a tunnel between Prince Edward Island and the mainland would provide an immense amount of employment. I believe this tun- nel should be commenced as soon as this war is over. 'I‘his is the only means of fulfilling the terms of confederation, which were that wt would have daily communication between the island and the" main- land. The Prime Minister and his grandfather, William Lyon Mac- kenzie, before him have been ex- ponents oi responsible govem- ment. It would be a grand climax in his life if he were to be the man to fulfil the terms of confedera- tion by (inving this tunnel con- structed izaitveen Prince Edward Island an-i the mainland and I hope this work will be started dur- mg the prrmiershlp of the Right l-Ion.

Ferry Service Interruptions

Charlottetown. Then there, was another interruption, but at the moment I cannot remember the reason. There were two interrup- tions this winter. and in addition, as most people know, we came close to losing the car ferry not so long

g0. a Mr. GRAYDON: Once in a while the Island becomes almost isolated,

I understand.

Mr. GRANT: Yes. I wish to thank the leader of the op ition (Mr. Graydonl because he as re- minded me of something we are advocating at the present time, We should have on Prince Edward Island a slip of sufficient capacity to take this car ferry when it needs repairs, instead cf having to send if, to Saint John, in dangerous waters. or up the St. Lawrence river. I believe the government are considering the construction of such a slip in Prince Edward Isl- and, which is not considered to be in dangerous renters.

' Help Needed

Mr. GRAYDON: You certainly need some help in regard to trans- portation between the mainland and the Island.

Mr. GRANT: Yes. The hon. gen- fleman has been so kind that I should like to congratulate him up- on his appointment as house lead- er o! his party, As hon. members know. at the Winnipeg convention it was rntlier amusing when the Conservative party again changed its name. People across Canada were smiling but I wish to con- gratulate the Progressive Conserv- ative party. because they could not have chosen a better man to laugh
