(CP Wirephoto) Four Parties Unite In Budget Debate OTTAWA (CP)--The four op- position parties united in a Commons vote Thursday night but were unable to defeat the minority Liberal government in a test of confidence during the budget debate Financ Minister Sh. ps mini - budget emerged intact, mainly as a result of spotty op- position attendance, as the vote went 87 to 75 for the govern- ment. Meanwhile, a complex bill embodying a national transpor- tation policy was given royal as- sent in the Senate after three years of drafting and revision. Transport Minister Pickersgill held a champagne reception to celebrate the milestone and rail- way executives hailed the legis- lation as an historic move to- wards greater efficiency. The bill provides a formula to wipe out railway subsidies in eight years, gradually allowing the railways to adjust rates, abandon uneconomic lines and scrap passenger service that doesn't pay. Minimum = safe- guards are aimed at preventing excessive charges and preserv- ing services required by the public interest. FALL SHORT In the Commons, the opposi- tion parties found themselves voting together for one of the rare times in the 27th Parlia- ment. However, their 130 seats produced only 74 tallies with many MPs absent. An_inde- pendent member, Maurice Al- lard (Sherbrooke) provided the 75th opposition vote. So 87 unsupported Liberals defeated a combination<of 56 Conservatives, 12 New Demo- crats, four Creditistes, two. So- cial Credit MPs and Mr. Allard.

Waldo Monteith/he had ever seen. Mr. Sharp for a supplement to old age pensions should be drawn from the surplus now in the old age security fund rather than from new taxes. It said the surplus should be tapped before an increase is made "'in the oppressive burden of general taxation." Opposition speeches in the fourth day of the six-day budget debate, which ends Monday night, worked this theme. However, Jean Chretien, par- Hamentary secretary to Mr. Sharp, said use of the surplus would be irresponsible. Double taxation would be required next} year if the surplus was used now, he said. RAISE SALES TAX The mini-budget raised the, federal sales tax to 12 per cent} from 11 and doubled to $240 the maximum tax on personal in- come payable under the Old Age Security Act. The object of the supplement is to guarantee pensioners a minimum income of $105 a month. The basic pension now is $75 monthly and the supple- ment may be up to $30 a month. Mr. Chretien said the mini- budget was carefully prepared to raise taxes only in the top third of incomes. The sales tax didn't apply to most important items, he said. Opposition MPs have claimed that the sales tax has resulted in commodity price increases ranging as high as 35 per cent on vegetable oil. John A. Irvine (PC--London) said the sales tax will affect the cost of building materials at a time when housing is scarce. |The result would be increased jrents. Mr. Irvine proposed a 10-per-| cent pay cut for federal em- ployees earning more than $10,- |'Hellyer For Mislabelling Chart OTTAWA (CP)--Defence Min- ister Hellyer apologized to the Commons defence committee Thursday night for what he said was the mislabelling of a chart on his department's expendi- tures pr ted to the c it- tee Tuesday. Douglas Harkness, former Conservative defence minister, had accused Air Marshall F. R. Sharp, vice - chair of defence staff and No. 2 officer in the armed forces, of giving the committee a "false" chart. PARLIAMENT AT -A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS THURSDAY, Feb. 9, 1967 Douglas Harkness, former Conservative defence minis- ter, charged that a "'false" chart on armed forces ex- penditures was given to the defence committee. Defence Minister Hellyer | later explained that the chart had been labelled incorrectly. Committee hearings on President James Coyne's complaints concerning the Bank of Western Canada ended with Finance Minister Sharp calling the whole mat- ter an "internal dispute." Royal assent was given to the government's transport bill and four other pieces of | legislation. Prime Minister Pearson | \ rejected suggestions of a rail- | way union delegation that the | government is stalling on new | labor. legislation. The Commons justice com- | mittee recommended manda- ory breath tests for motor- ists suspected of drinking. FRIDAY, Feb. 10 The Commons defeated 87 to 75 a Conservative non-con- fidence motion that would have barred any tax increase to pay for supplementary old age pensions. Friday, Feb. 10 The Commons meets at 11 a.m. to resume debate on the supplementary budget. Senate stands adjourned un til Feb. 28.

He rejected a suggestion from them that the task force has been used to stall a decision on labor law amendments and added: "We will keep on pressing to get this report as quickly as we can." Mr. Pearson and seven of his cabinet ministers spent more than an hour with a 35-man del- egation from the Canadian Rail- way Labor Executives Associa- tion, which presented its annual brief. The prime minister said he hopes that the labor amend- ments will provide a formula for the prevention rather than the cure of labor disputes. CITES PROOF He said the government fs anxious to protect the rights of workers and their unions. Proof of this was the introduction of legislation that will permit col- lective bargaining for the first time in the federal civil serv- ice. The association's brief com- plained that the task force idea had swept under the rug the controversial Freedman report. Praises that cabinet had for the report had become meaningless.
