(AP Wirephoto) lunch with PARLIAMENT AT-A-GLANCE Tuesday, Jan. 18, 1966 Parliament opened with the speech from the throne setting out the government's plans. The program centred largely on matters left uncompleted by the last. Parliament or promised during the election campaign. The speech mentioned re- vamping of federal-provincial tax-sharing agreements, rail- way legislation and The Bank Act. It proposed increased grants to universities and a scholar- ship program. Included were aid for rede- veloping uneconomic farms, a broader crop insurance pro- gram and unemployment in- surance for farm workers. Catch insurance for fisher- men also was mentioned. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker scored the government for making no mention of old age pension increases. New Democrat Leader Doug- las said a decision to discuss medical care insurance with the provinces may result in some roadblocks. Creditiste Leader Caouette said the speech called for war on poverty yet mentioned booming prosperity -- "a fla- grant contradiction." Social Credit Leader Thomp- son said the program was so long "'it will take is through the centennial year." The Commons elected Lu- 'cien Lamoureux (L -- Stor- mont) as Speaker.

The Senate meets at 3 p.m. 'AGE PENSIONS OTTAWA (CP) -- Old age pensions, one of the prime opposition issues in the fall election campaign, weren't mentioned in the throne speech at Tuesday's opening of Parliament.
