transport to football game in algary last year cost the Canadian tax payer over $8000 and his share for using private planes for three years runs around $847000 alone In one instance the minister flew

spending As the auditorsgeneral pointed out the civil servants travell ing do not have to submit ex pense accounts and are not sub ject to the same rules on them as you or would be The auditorgeneral states that they are often putting in meals and other expenses that have been included free This goes through the whole fabric of government so much so that the auditorgeneral recommended that financial comptroller be appointed at once to stop this deteriorating financial situation The governments response is very negative Mr Trudeau says it cannot be done without interfering with the rights of the minister This is balder dash If there is extravagant spen ding it should be stopped at once because the Canadian tax payer has reached the end of his rope He is disappointed and hurt and feeling the pinch at the way the government is taxing him Rene Levesque has been elected premier of the province of Quebec What does it mean Certainly while John Turner was in Europe his report was that Canadas position in the financial world was far down theladder Politically Canada appeared to be becoming risk What is industry going to do now in the province of Quebec Is it going to pull out

Rene Levesque keep on pushing Bill 22 Will there be federal elec tion because of the disillusion ment in the other provinces Will there be anger at one pro vince which does not want to be one of the

is almost surrounded by American interests going up the Pacific Coast to Alaska Consequently good deal of its trade and wealth is with the United States and it might be really advantageous for it to
