“For the record. then, let's recall that when the project was first broached in the House: of Commons on:Jan. 24, 1956, by Neil A. Mathe- son, Liberal liminary studies had . already been “matle by the provincial government — under Premier A. W. Matheson at thé suggestion of the federal minis- terof public works, Hon.

MR. WINTER’S PART—A matter of importance in the Premier's, state- ment was his emphasis on the fact that Mr. Winters, the federal minis- ter. had proposed that the province initiate these studies, «and decide whether to press for such a project in the event offit being feasible. “And the further we went into-the matter.” said Premier Matheson, -“‘the more we were convinced that it was no mere ‘pipe dream’ but one that might very well become a reality, and be of tremendous benefit in meeting our transportation needs.”
It is worth noting. also, that on the day before the Premier's. state- ment in the House. the leader of the Opposition. Mr. Bell. gave full sup- port-to-the-proposat-in-the course of
- his speech on the Draft Address. Sub- sequently a joint resolution was _adopted. ‘stressing the advantages of a causeway and urging Ottawa to launch a through. investigation at the -earliest date.
