that carbon-monoxide in the air of over 10 per "cent is dangerous.

VENTILATION

"Now look at this other factor. The electric motors to handle ven- tilation in the Holland tunnel re- quires 6,000 horsepower. it would require. an the same basis in I tunnel here. 20,fll0 horsepower. 20,000 horsepower is about the hor- sepowe now needed to supply all the electric power to Prince Ed- ward Island. Likely more within the last few years. but it is al- most that.

"The ventilation in Holland tun- nel requires 84 blowers. It would take 300 on the same basis at least in a tunnel here: and the buildings required to house all this equip- ment would be considerably larg- er than the Federal Government Building that is being constructed in Charlottetown at the present time.

"And on top of all that, if you go through the other tunnels to which I refer, there are guards posted at regular intervals of a quarter or less miles each way to guide and direct traffic. If a veh- icle breaks down or someone ahead of you stops it is necessary to turn off the motor of your car because otherwise you are endangering the lives of those people in there.

"Mr. Speaker, I do hope that this is only a start of the invest- igation that will be made to see whether we cannot have a better means of communication with the Mainland by way of some type of travel. be it tunnel, if it can be pos- sible, be it causeway. or if nec- essary a bridge; because the cost as far as I can see now. is going to go up year after year and our only course is to have something that will meet the requirements of the future. "Now let us try and look into the future as well as we can. it is not easy but let us not make any mistakes that can be avoided. I do hope there are those of us today who will try to work on that basis and if it is thought wise, after this debate is over. when we have heard the members sneak. we may have a resolution. These figures that I have are avail- able to any member to look over, and I would be only too happy to discuss them with any of you.
