Liberal leader Lester B. Pear- son and Social Credit leader Robert Thompson. Only New Democratic party leader T,C. Douglas. (right) has refrained from predicting his party will have the largest group. Mr.

Douglas said a minority govv ernment is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be pushed into doing what it ought to do. On the other hand. the country might be stuck for five years with a bad majority adminis- tration.

OTTAWA (CP) -—- Regardless of which party Is in power after today's election. Parliament. will have a busy time translat- ing campaign promises and proposal into action.

it's up to the governing party to fix the timing of its legisla- tive program. Nevertheless sev- eral important matters will have to be dealt with early by whatever party forms the gov- ernment. '

One. of course. is the 1963-64 budget. outlining how the gov- ernment plans to raise the money for its spending during this fiscal year.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Liberal Leader Pearson have indicated a mid - ay meeting ‘of Parliament. New Democratic Lead e r Douglas and Social Credit Leader Thompson also say they would

call Parliament into session quickly. -__.__._.._
