Aeat 5.00 Ib ~ fi genase gs By PAUL DUNN OTTAWA (CP) --The prov- inces cracked the whip and the Commons responded Tuesday night by giving third and final approval to a bill establishing the Canada Deposit Insurance Corp. All provinces except Quebec have urged speedy approval of the measure in the wake of fail- ures by the Prudential Finance and Atlantic Acceptance firms and the possible adverse effect on Canada's financial reputa- tion. The bill, which now requires only Senate passage and royal assent before becoming law, protects demand and term de- posits with a limit of $20,000 for each account. Third, Final Reading Deposit Bill Approved It makes deposit and loan companies. Provincially - trust and loan companies may sent of their provincial govern- ment.

There have been some sugges- tions that Feb. 15 be pro- claimed an annual holiday, but government spokesmen said Tuesday night no action has been taken. Two years ago today, about 10,000 persons gathered on the Hill to watch a ceremonial low- ering of the Red Ensign and the hoisting of the new flag amid cheers and a 21-gun sa- lute. Similar ceremonies took place in provincial capitals and at embassies and military bases abroad. With the bitterness of the marathon flag debate receding steadily, politicians are turning their attention to the national anthem. A special committee of MPs and senators has been set up to study a three-year-old govern- ment proposal to proclaim O Canada the official anthem and God Save The Queen as the} "royal anthem." | The committee is expected to start its work shortly. The main issue is wording of the lyrics, which may be revised. The Eng- --the St. Lawrence River. Politicians in all parties say they do not want a repetition of the 1964 flag debate, which set | records of sorts for raw emo- tionalism, petty partisanship and stubborness. The govern- ment hopes the two anthems can be proclaimed on or before Dominion Day, July 1, when Confederation will be exactly 100 years old. The Commons flag marathon began June 15, 1964, when Prime Minister Pearson opened debate on his resolution for a three - leaf flag with blue borders. He expressed hope that the resolution would pass before Dominion Day, but the debate dragged on until Sept. 10, when the issue was referred to a spe- cial committee. The committee met. privately for six weeks, recommended the present red-and-white flag, a new stalemate developed in the Commons and closure was in- voked to choke off the debate after 33 sitting days. The flag resolution carried by a vote of 163 to 78 in the early hours of Dec. 15 after a last- minute angry clash between Mr. Pearson and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker. Commons Proposes Chopping Consumer Drug By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons drug prices inquiry wound up hearings Tuesday night with examination of Alberta govern- ment proposals aimed at chop- ping consumer drug bills by If. Committee Chairman Dr. Harry Harley (L--Halton) said he hopes to have a set of com- mittee recommendations for the Commons by March 1, based on months of testimony and written submissions from industry, gov- ernment and consumer sources. The Alberta proposals, pre- pared by Dr. Henry B. Steele, associate professor of economics at the University of Houston, called for a general lowering of the patent, trade mark, tariff and other legislative barriers behind which Canada's drug in- dustry operates: Dr. Steele estimated that his prescription to inject price com- petition into manufacturing and retailing could reduce the an- nual drug bill of consumers by $100,000,000. Key areas where at least 50 per cent could be saved are in Jess sales promotion, lower prof- its and removal of the federal sales tax, he said in reply to question from Dr. Lewis Brand) (PC--Saskatoon). } SEES BIG CHANGE But a reduction of this size} depended on the government) implementing a whole series of measures to reduce the drug in- dustry's protection. He cautioned against remov- ing the sales tax alone on the ground that the resulting price reduction, if passed on to the consumer, might soon be dissi-- pated without action on more permament price - reducing measures. Dr. Steele, 35, figured that 90 per cent of the drug industry's promotion budget could be slashed, noting that the drug manufacturers have told the committee promotion and mar- keting accounts for 30 cents of the sales dollar. | He suggested that the amoun' of promotion conditions doctors Bills In Half Dr. Brand also challenged the argument that advertising alone can substitute for price com- petition in selling drugs. Dr. Steele said he believes that is true. "T don't believe that follows," replied Dr. Steele. "I believe it does," mented Dr. Brand. While doctors Brand and Steele differed. sharply on sev- eral points, they were in agree- ment on one measure --drug- gists should be allowed to ad- vertise particular prescription drugs to the public. Dr. Steele said this would help give the consumer a better chance of finding a cheaper place to have his prescription filled. COULD WATCH PRICE He also supported the sugges- tion of committee counsel A. M. Laidlaw that the prescription com- should be placed on the label of the drug container so the con- sumer could shop around for a better price on refills. Dr. Brand suggested that if prices are cut drug firms will have to reduce quality controls. Dr. Steele disagreed, saying that drug firms can't afford to cut quality controls because of the danger of getting a bad batch of drugs. the mini-budget in De: ber-- to meet the cost of the supple- mentary old age pension. Debate on this resolution was to continue today. RIGHT TO VETO Mr. Sharp said the provision giving provinces the right to veto entry under the insurance bill was put in 'purely for dip- lomatic reasons." The act needed co-operation of all prov-} inces, especially Quebec. | Mr. Sharp said Quebec Pre-| mier Daniel Johnson had asked| Prime Minister Pearson during] |the weekend to keep the provin- jcial veto in the bill. | Marcel Lambert (PC -- Ed- monton West) repeatedly asked| for clearer definition of the term deposit in the bill. Mr. Sharp said the government needed time to examine the va- riety of financial instruments | used by near-banks before de-| fining the term. He promised that after talks! with those concerned, an order- in-council would be passed and sent to a Commons committee where opposition MPs could dis- cuss it.
