Why not tell us about that when they talk of losses. There was | also $11,000 in interest paid to Frosted Foods out of the money of the province. There was $70,- 000 in unpaid bills at the Farm Establishment Board. That’s the practices, that were going forward by the late govern- ment.” TURNED DOWN OFFER Dwelling on Liberal efforts to _— gested | promote industrial development, Premier Shaw said that back about 1956 the Liberal govern- ment turned down an applicat- ion of Seabrook Farms Limited for assistance in establishing a food processing plant in the pro- vince. “‘That’s the kind of _ de- velopment the Liberals were giving to the people of the pro- vince,” he said. He said that Liberal efforts to help two packing plants locate in Souris ended up with the plant owing the province $300,000 “Then,” he said, “they entered into a lease with Usen for ren- tal of the plants. This- was American firm that got the lease in spite of the fact that there was an Island firm inter- ested.”” Premier said it was a three-year lease witn an option to buy the plants. The plants were sold for $200,000. $100,000 was lost to provincial revenue, It’s deplorable what 1 cae under the Liberals. “In 1954, they were urged to wan a brick plant. No action was taken. When the Conservatives came into power, a brick plant was set up. REFERS TO RECORDS “Record: erals made many loans on which there was little security, many w chattel | mortgages or less. “They talk of the $2,000,000 given the corporation by the amendment. I would like to know what information the pri- vate members of the House had when the Liberals budgeted for a small surplus or deficit and instead they went back over $2,000,000. Is it good financing more tha the approved estimate? It ill fits the opposition to criticize my government when they look back over their own over-spend- g. He pointed out that in Liberal budgets through the years there were “sums sufficient’’ set out in the estimates to cover such things as loans, highway and tourist projects, and civic im- provements.

In 1959, the staff was dead un- der Liberal policies; now it 1s rejuvenated. “There was nothing done on finding new markets until we — into power, now there is tremendous expansion “It was fis that short- cour- ses would not be successful but we are getting excellent attend- a dit regulations were relaxed. There is a great forward interest in livestock production and we to have 200,000 cattle in the pro- s. ince. “In 1946; 110,000 hogs were marketed; in 1953 only 75,000. The former government allow- ed the hog industry to sag. Now we are building the hog and sheep indu ‘ READS REPORTS Turning. to poultry, the Prem- ier read from Liberal reports on the industry. “According ta the 1952 report,”” he said “‘it was a discouraging year for poultry—eggs were 32 cents pet eggs was low; in 1957 the report was that egg prices set a new low; 1959’s report was that the poultry in- dustry was depressed. What did they do? They did not come up with one measure for im- provements. We at least have something on the way to help the industry. New life will be injected into the Premier Shaw said it was “childish and asinine” to blame e@ government for low prices received by producers, unless =~ government had neglected s fundamental duties.

Poa PROVINCES The Opposition here boast of balanced budgets at Ottawa = the Liberal regime but they say nothing about starving this and other provinces while the surpluses were being achiev- ed, he scolded. The present federal thie ment has made the money available to the people of Can- ‘ada. Recalling the six dollar extension of the Lib- erals in 1957, he contrasted that with the millions of dollars the Diefenbaker government has poured into the province in var- — grants, public betorno pen- sions, boats and ferri and subsidies. The subsidies on ee and fisheries products ‘‘are in- creased tremendously." There’ s the new subsidy on butter, he instanced.
