He spoke in the Commons while sponsoring a resolution to a bill authorizing establishment of the board. . The new board, unlike the war- time boards, should not -have power to compel farmers to deliver their produce to it. It will only receive the products when the price offered by it are higher than those in the regualr market. The board would be similar to one now operating under authority of an- order - in - council. "We have been approached from time to time by other.governments to provide an agency to purchase certain farm products for them in Canada," said Mr. Gardiner. "If 1t were decided by the govern- ment to perform this service it would be necssary to have a legal- ly constituted board."

Skinner plant delegate Bill Rutherford raised the matter. He asked that the Council send a re- solution to Ottawa asking for an investigation into 'the drug - racket'. He told of tiny pills be- ing sold for $2.50 a dozen and he said that not many years ago $3 would cover a normal doctor's visit. Now with PSI, Blue Cross and other' industrial schemes at work the doctor's bill went to the ser- vices and the medicine bill -- more than the former entire bill -- was sent to the patient. Drugs could not have jumped two or three hundred per cent that quickly, he said. Secretary-treasurer Mike Fens wick reported that Local 1817 had been in contact with the Minister of Justice about the matter. The Minister had asked the labor ore ganization to let him know of any cases of price fixing. Mr, Fen- wick said he had received many complaints on the subject and had personally paid $10 for a little vial of medicine for his youngster"s cold. After taking the medicine the boy still had the cold. "I questioned some hospital people about this and they said they had to make a profit on drugs to offset deficits in other depart~ ments. It seems that the drug business is really raking in a lot of money", said Mr. Fenwick, The Council unanimously dee cided to ask the Minister of Justice to make an investigation through his department so that the onus would not be placed on the unions, Other Labor Councils are to be in formed of the action.
