Five of the drownings occurred in Manitoba, four of them when a boat containing seven persons overturned on the Winnipeg or near Great Falls, 100 miles northeast of Winnipeg. Five persons also drowned in Ontario and one in each of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Que- bec.

The act was put on the statute books while Quebec Liberal Leader Jean Le- sage was resources minister in the former Liberal government here. Mr. Duplessis opposed it: Premier Barrette's election cam- paign promise was merely to have it studied; Mr. Lesage en- dorsed it. 3.
