F ZMMP >(PC - Ontario) By the time the Prime Minister began his third television speech, I had some hope. - In bis-first add- ress'he blamed ail our problems on forces beyond his controi. ý In bis second address he said there was nothing that could be done about tbe coming bardt winter except trust one ano 'ther. He announced that there would' be major changes in Ottawa's policies.' When a man. who bas twice promised to resign makes. defeatist statements like that, when he ad- mits he is helpless, and when he ,iIlsists on telling everyone these things coast to coast on national T.V., then I would, expect hlm to do the logical and honorable thing.

Instead, we, were al Jet down. Mr. Trudeau missed a golden opportunity to harness the eager- ness of Canadians ta rescue their economy.
