Newtoundlander incensed By Regulations For Small Boats

OTTAWA tCPl-No landlubber is going to tell a Newfoundlander when to wear a lifejacket. the Commons ',, committee was told stoutly Tuesday

Hennan M Batten. a Liberal who represents the west - coast Newfoundland riding of Humber- St George's. protested that the RCMP are topping small boat op- erators from carrying friends as passengers because the boats do not carry enough livesaving equip- ment

"I've got no objection if the rest of you are talking about a bunch of landlubbers who run around in pleasure boats." he thundered.

BEST SEAMEN IN WORLD,

”But I'm talking about New- foundlanders, the best seamen in the world If anybody tries to tell a Newfoundlander to buy a life- jacket to go 1114 miles in a boat, why " .

Mr. Batten, incensed over the whole thing, spluttered that if he weren't in the decorous confines of a Commons committee he would have a good deal more to

say.

Leopold Langlois, parliamentary assistant to Transport ' Minister Marler. said the regulation is en- forced for the security of boat owners. g

SEA is HIGHWAY .

Another Newfoundland . C. W. Carter L - Burin-Burgeo. said: "The sea has always been our highway. A godd many people have boats just as they have cars on the mainland. The regula- tions as they are applied in some cases are absurd." .

Mr. Carter added that a boat owner can't even take a person to a doctor down the coast unless he has the proper lifesaving and firefighting equipment on his vas- sel.

Mr. Langlis said the regulations could of course be overlooked in an emergency.

"There are no regular boat schedules in Newfoundland." Mr. Carter said "Everything is by chance."

Says Mariiimes Receiving fair llealln Taxes

OTTAWA (CP)--The maritime Provinces are receiving a fair deal from the federal government under new tax-sharing proposals and a wide range of other grants and subsidies. a parliamentary as- sistant from Nova Scotia said Tuesday.

T. A. M. Kirk, Liberal member for Shelburne-Yarmouth-Clare and assistant to Postmaster - General Lapointe, said in the Commons it is unfair for opposition members to say the Mnrltimea are being

adly treated under the new tax- sharing arrangements. To be fair, one had.to look at all federal spending in the Atlantic provinces.

Under the new federal tax plan. payments to Nova Scotia would Tlse by 4.770.500. an increase of 10.9 per cent compacd with cur- rent tax rental pacts.

Mr. Kirk reviewed a long list of grants and subsidies now being made to the Maritimes in the fields of mining. fishing and agri- culture. He also referred to fed- eral participation in a number of projects such as the Bluenose and William Carson ferries. the nso causeway and the army's ew Camp Gagetown.

C. W. Carter (L-Burin-Burgeo) said the new regulations will cover Newfoundland inshore fishermen and asked that they not be ap- plied to the inconvenience of the fishermen.

Mr. Langiis said there is no intention to force undue require- ments on the fishermen to pre- vent them exercising their trade.

Before the House was a govern- ment resolution preliminary to in troduction of a bill to authorize new federal-provincial tax agree ments. They would take elfcct next April 1, replacing present tax rental agreements.
