Mr. Pearson chose not to $108,700 figure even though this osimrate was 'give wo years ago a they now anticiate a shal- lowor installation. Mr. McGee had proviously ask- ed if it was flot quite possible that the contract price would not be up by somo 20 percent. Mr, R. Forrester asked where the cut-back was to be made lu the budget in ordor that only a slight increase was to be noted in the miii rate. After somne discus- '"ior. le said ho didn't get an ànswer. The increase in' assess- ment, as bioted by the clerk, he said would only collect a few dollars over $100.00 even with 20 milîs.

Ho askod Parliamont to vote on a distinct motion of con- fidence and pro-,mised his govern- ment would stand or fali' on the result of thaLt vote. Thore are many constîturtional authorities to support the position taken by the Prime Minister. There is no excuse for the ioss of the vote on Monday night. It was the result of, mopery and gawk . . carelessness and inepti- tude on the pýartof the Lîberal par ty. The Opp-!osition parties de- cided te defeat the, government and the govorumo-1int did not have its, troops thore. It is as simple' as that! The future of some participant s was advaniced - - that of some was dimmed. Finance Ministor Mitchell Sharp showed his, par- lidmeiltary inexpericilce inl let- ting his Bill come to a vote. Houso Leade;r Allan iMacEachen came out of it as the star of the Liberal teami. >Acting Prime Minister- Paul Martin was ýcampaigning in Trois Rivieres. If hie had been here hie would have taken command and in ail probability the gevernment would not have aliowed itself te be trapped. Mr. Martin's absence did not advance his leadership hopes. Treasury Board President Ben Benson backed up Mr. MacEach- en. They wer e thie stars of a bad- iy disorgaiiized Lîberal team. They kept the gover-nment in the ring - - although admiittedly on. the ropes, se that there was still a breath of if e> in it when Mr. Pearson arrived to take command the next day. Conservatiýve Leader Robert Stahifie1d was appatrently stunned, and speechless. He said nothing throughout the melee which fol- Iowed the vote. ý Former Tory Leader John Diefenbaker took charge. With eyes blazing and finger waving the old Chief heap-, ed scern obi the Liberal g&vern- ment, "It is a long road that has no ashean!", trumpeted Mr. Dief- enbaker. The former Conserva- tive Chief was obvlously i high deljght and one could1 4iscern the fie hand of thie old pro in the Conservative strategy and plannig. Liberal- flouse Leader Allen MacEachen said, "Mr. Speaker,_I am delighted that the Conservative Party has ,finally got a leader." The remark was greeted by desk thumping on both sides of the House. Was there ahy significance to that?
