BLOC E UTURE UN CERTAIN ‘Unruly tinnmons ' liears Transport Minister Chevrier BY UARCY UDONNELL OTTAWA. March 3 - (C?) A boisterous and at times unruly Commons today heard Transport Minister Chevrier declare the future of Canadas merchant marine is still uncertain. “TPere are so many factors 1n- \‘Ol\€d that it is impossible to give an accurate estimate of the future size of the Canadian flag o fleet." said Mr. Chevrier. "It must depend upon the pattern of world trade and the ingenuity of the Canadian operator." The speech. marked by frequent inlerjectlons and interruptions from the Opposition, was left. unfinished in a tumultuous scene which brought e threat of expulsion from Speaker Gaspard Fauteux. The Speaker threatened tn oust an unidentified member if he per- sisted in repeating a "certain ex- pression" he did not identify it. The threat caiuc as Progressive Conservative members and Liber- als shouted ldudly at each other when Mr. Chevrier sought to go beyond his 40-minute speaking limit. The Minister sat down after Progressive Conservative members declined to give their consent to go beyond the time limit. In the speech, the Minister made these points: 1. None of the 215 Canadian merchant ships now is perman- ently lald up for lack of em- ployment. 2. The government's u-iirro- plaoement program is ""v"’ ~* replacing jvilfflm? ships with faster. modern \Cii§i'lh. 3. The government will not consider subsidizing the mer- chant fleet at this time. 4. The government believes Canadian trade would suffer if buyers were required to ship 50 per cent. of their Canadian purchases in Canadian bottoms. 5. Only Canadian and Com- monwealth ships are allowed to operate in the Canadian coastal trade. 6. 'I‘i1e royal commission on transportation was established at the request of the Provinces.
