We hope, for their sake, that the Lib- irals will have a satisfactory answer to Provincial Treasurer McQuald’s statement that in the period of little nore than a fortnight between election of September 1 and the time the Lib- erals relinquished office on Sept. 16, they piled up bills to the hefty tune of $1,500.000. This means that while acting merely as, caretakers for the incoming government, they overspent the taxpayer’s money at the rate of about $4,000 an hour. What urgent requirement was there for this huge splurge that brought the bank overdraft and other unfunded debt to eleven and three-quarter mil- lions of dollars? We realize that ex- penditure demands are increasing every year. but there was no indication that this state of affairs was being reached when the last budget was presented in the Legislature. And, but for the At- , lantlc Provinces grant given by the Diefenbaker Government, we would be another $2,500,000 in the hole this year . . . . . . We should like to know what they have to say particularly about their post-election binge which beats any- thing we have heard about drunken sailors. . l
