One of the many quiet and rest- iui spots in town is the Public Gardens whore many congregate in the afternoons and in the even- ings. more especially at the pres- ent time when gas rationing makes ll somewhat difficult to go very far afield looking for a ‘quiet place to spend Sunday afternoons.

MacNicol, Progr v0 Conservative for Davenport. Toronto. Mr. Mac- Niccl’: statements were preceded by representations from Mr. Lester Douglas, Queens and Mr. Percy Black, Cumberland, N.S. F0110“!!! ll tho report of the dil- cussion from I-lansurd of Aug. 8: Mr. Michal Mr. MICHAUD: In reply to the hon. member for Queens and the hon. member for Cumberland I am pleased to state that the con- tract for the building of a most up-to-datc modern car ferry to run between Cups Torrnentins in New Brunswick and Prince FA- ward Island was signed on the last day of March, i944. The con- tractor proceeded immediately to get together the material which would enter into the construction of the ferry. I was informed by the contractor a couple of weeks ago that the work was proceeding ac- cording to schedule: that he has been successful in getting the steel plates in sufficient quantity and at the proper time to‘ et the htgl together in schedule tfme. I an: pleased to say that the engines which will go into this complicat- ed construction will be manufac- tured in Canada. The subcon- tractors for the engines have re- ported that their manufacture is progressing on schedule. So far nothing has been brought to our attention that would dela the completion of the ship by the end of October, 1945, according to the contract. ‘ Mr. BLACK (Cumberland): Did the minister reconsider the type of power plant to be used in this ferry? I understand that some ac- surancc was given by him or by his department that this matter would be reconsidered, with a view to utilizing coal, our native fuel. Mr. MICl-IAUD: Great attention was given this question, but the marine architects who were en- gaged to design that boat have not recommended the lotion of coal-burning engines. Therefore the boat will be equipped with diesel engines. Mr. BLACK (Cumberland): Were any other architects consulted as to utilizing coal and the ordinary steam power lant that is used in other boats of) this type? Mr. HOWE: Is my hon. friend aware that Prince Edward Island is quite likely to become a great producer of oil? Mr. BLACK: (Cumberland): I hope that may be so. and I am told there are possibilities that my county of Cumberla - come a great oil But it is recognize h there is a world shortage of oil at (he pre- sent tlme. We had evidence be- fore the committee on reconstruc- tion and reestablishment'that the supply of oil in sight will be suf- flcient for only fourteen years at the present rate of consumption. Therefore, with coal supplies suf- ficient for hundreds of years right at hand, it seems only an ordinary business precaution to give, c preference to coal rather than oil; even if the hope of the Minister of Munitions and Supply should be realized, as I hope it will be and a great oil reservoir should be found on Prince Edward Island. Mr. MacNlcol Mr. MacNICOL: I am going to say something about this item. although I would not have done so if I had thought the minister could get through his estimates in toto tonight. I have made several trips to study this matter of trans- portation between the mainland and the Island. and I should like to satisfy myself that this new ship of the proper design. I must admit that from its picture it is a fine looking ship. I would remind tho minister that between St. Ignace and Mackinaw, the strait between lake Mlchi an and lake Huron, a strait a ii tle ovcr nine miles wide, in the win- ter time _gets badly clogged with very heavy ice. I believe that strait is approximatel the same width as Northumber and. strait. I should like to know ff the de- partment saw to it that the de- signers of this new ship of ours consulted those who were con- versant with similar conditions. and vvlth the designers of the six boats that cross from St. Ignace to Mackinaw. I One of these boats, I believe it is] the Saint Marie. appears to load and unload at both ends. The: ship is so designed that the main deck front end can be lifted up to allow the railway cars to roll . I do not know whether this new ship is of the same design. Perhaps in the opinion of the architect or engineers who design- ed the new ship. their design is the nnly type that can safely navigate this strait. If case‘ their judgment should be ac- ggptgd. But if a ship could be designed to load and unload both ends it seems to mo it You! be able to take on and is its cargo much more rapidly than the new ship may be able to do. I am not going to criticize the new boat in any way, for it seems g9 b. vary smart. It is n. big ship. tb t-emendous power; it has nearly three times the any of the fins ships t. at cross from at. I ace to Mackinaw, btllt its lnterna design must bo tota- ly different from that tho” ships which cross the difficult nine- mile Mackinaw strait in the WNW!" time, where ice piles up so his ' that two or three ships have Dw- ellers fore and aft to cut throfllh '5.“ s.

Aocor - n; to the figures submitted by ti? department, the new ship w: carry only sixty motor cars. ope the time will come when motor traffic to and from the Is- land will amount to many mo" than sixty automobiles per trip. In contrast. the smallest ship crossing the strait Mackinac carries sevent,-two utomobiles. Whlla one of the largest carries one hun- I many as this new ship is design- ed to carry.

R. MacNicho. will come when trains go twice that many cars. Mackinaw carry n many twenty-four railway ours. we have a Sympathetic minister. We have not always had ministers who were as sympathetic to the Island. but tho present minister is. and I hope he will look into the particular matters I have drawn to is attention. There is no reason why the capacity of a. brand new ship should be so much smaller than the capacit of the smallest ship on the Mac inac strait route. This now ferry is to b: 372 feet 6 inches over all, while the smallest ship crossing the strait of Mac- kinac is about 260 feet long, but has greater automobile and car cap- aclty. Why is that? Does the strait of Ncrthumbcrland require a ship so strongly built, or with a much greater capacity for passgn. gers‘! I note that the passenger capacity is larger, and I am gald of that because this is a glorious island. Mr. MiCI-IAUD: What is the draught of the Mackinac ships? Mr. MacNICOL: The smallest one is twelve feet aft, and the larg. est one is twenty feet aft. I have locked into the matter very care- fully because. like other hon. members, I have long felt that the Island has not had what the Fath- ers of Confederation promised it. I realize that the minister is sym- pathetic, and as long as he is in POW!!!‘ he W111. I hope, see that they Bet more than they have been getting. Largclt Perry Al I said a moment ago, the largest boat, the Chief Wawatum, is 4.500 horse-power, and the horse- power-of the new Canadian ship is 12,000. is a. very heavy horse-power, and the spccd cf six- teen and a half knots is good. That is a smart speed at which to cross the strait. May I congratulate whoever is responsible for that speed. because the old Prince Ed- ward Island had a knotage of only 12 1-2. The Islanders — they like to be called the Islanders — are entitled to the fastest and most up-to-date transportation which can be secured between the Island and the mainland. I know if the minister examine: the docks at Borden and Tormen- tine he will say, the same as I did, _after careful examination. “These docks are not what this gret country of Canada should provi e for this magnificent and beautiful Island, for its traffic to and from the mainland." If I were design- ing u dock-and of course I am not . a dock architect. although I have seen many docks in Europe and on the North American continent- I would certainly see to it that | boats could go into and out of the dock much more rapidly than they can today. If conditions would permit it»- and I do not say they will permit it—I would have ships that would load at one end and drive straight offl the other end if desirable. I should like inquiries to be mask about that. This might not b.- sultable at that point. but if it is we should certainly have it that way. The minister. being sympathetic to the Island and its rights, should not hesitate to pay the cost to have adequate and proper docks built at Tormentine and Borden, so as to increase speed in loading and unloading. i-le ought not to hesitate during his term of office to see to it that the Islanders get what they have been asking for for such a long time. and that in fast traffic, fast loading and fast unloading. All this will help com- merce. At the present time it is almost too much for the ordinary tourist to take a big car ovcr there. I have been over several times with my car, and I have never crossed on boats crossing that strait without becoming furious before I got off at either end of the cross- ing. I do considerable travelling, and a lot of driving; I have driven several. hundred thousand miles, and I become furious when I have to go along on an upper deck and drive my motorcar around a narrow passage. Loading and Unloading While there is still time - and I believe there is time-Me should see to it that this fine new ship, with its beautiful design, is built with regard for speed of loading and unloading at each side of the to and from that Island will ave These ships crossing from St. Ignace to as All I am going to ny ls that the to the best this country can give it, and I know Have You Caliouses or Cramps t|1erc——.-> oemta-nptq...

It is represented to me that a ferry boat was put into service on lake Ontario. since the beginning of the war, and that it is a. boat of dimen- sions perhaps larger than those of the new ferry serving Prince Ed- ward Island. That boat is powered with coal-net Canadian coal, but coal brought in from the United States. The ferry boat now under dis- cussion is being designed to use oil, which, in all probability, will also be imported, despite the fact that in the post-war years the coal mines of Nova Scotia will be more anxious than ever to secure a mar- ket for their product. Has the minister any information with respect to that new ferry boat? If not, will he make inquiries and advise the committee at a later sitting? strait. This should be considered. even if it will cost more money, because it would give the Islanders-i a fair deal. Let us not worryi about a few extra dollars, because‘ this is not an investment for only one year. It is for many years. The docks can be vastly improved for greater speed in loading and unloading. I suggest that the de- cr, or whoever is responsible. should visit many other places to see how quickly loading and un- loading can be carried out. For instance. he could go to Toledo, to discuss the matter with the Toledo shipbuilding Company, which per- ha s has had much experience in bu lding such ships for such pur- poses. I arn glad that a Canadian com- pany is building this ship, and that Canadian workmen are doing the work. There is no reason why we cannot build as good ships here as are built anywhere else, and there is no reason why our work‘- men cannot do as good work as other workmen are doing-and I know they can do it. Therefore I am very happy indeed that the ship has been ullt in Canada by Canadian workmen. and designed by l. Canadian designer. it is at all csslble the minis- ter should look nto this matter to have some alterations in design if practicable, so that the number of cars crossing that channel may be greater than called for in the design. sixty is not enough. I am referrinil.‘ cf course. to motor-| cars. The number of freight cars to go aboard the ship when cross- ing the channel should be more than nineteen. at 18 H0! enough. either. A large amount of money ls be- inb spent-not too much, but cer- ta nly a large amount. But I would say that even more should be spent, if required, to give the Island people a. square deal. Power.

But I know that the most modern icebreaker that is being built in the United States is built on exactly the same principle as the one which has been designed for Prince Edward Island. I can assure the hon. member for Davenport that all the con- siderations he has set forth have been taken into account by the department, the architects and the engineers, and we are trying to give i the Island the best boat Canndrv can produce, and a boat which will ; give service under the conditions‘ under which it will have to open! ate.

So that the bout has to carry its‘ load and its own machinery, and‘ has to develop enough power to, break the ice. Mr. MncNICOL: Will the docks require alterations?
