Il He added that,2 "A major ity government is by no means a guarantee of good government. Il Oroadbent explained that only eight bill!ý of thc last 29 brought before thc Houscwcre passed and he tcrmed this, "A lack ofcommittment topaI itical action and bad management in the house. 'I B3roadbent wvas particularly critical of the government 1s proposed amend- m e n t ta the National Housing Act. He pointed ou t that if the average persan bau ght a home through the Act and paid an intercst rate of 7 3/4 % on $ 15, 000, he would wind up paying back $47,420 for the home over a per iod of 40 years. A bill which wvas defeated in parl ia- ment concerning family allowance wauld have cu toff baby bonus for haî f the mot- BLASTS hers in Whltby and Oshawa had It gone through accord ing ta Broadbent. He said the New Democrat Ic Party opposed the bill at the second reading because, 'lit would have put the family aîlowance in the welfare category and it would have created a f antast ic bure aucrat ic mess.,I" Because of the compl exity of the pro- posed p I a n , IWe woulId have needed a 100 per cent increase in the civil ser- vants in that department just ta admin- i ster the program, accord ing ta Broad- bent.

"l The supposed reason for the tax cuts in the carparate area was ta stim- u 1 a t e b u s iness but Broadbent said a s ur ve y showed that haîf the business TRUDEAU mendidnot agree that grE-ater business would result from the tax cuts. He ad- d ed, "No e co nomist really beleives that."
