Allan Lawrence, Q.C., M.P. (Durham-Northumber- land) was the speaker at a fund-raising dinner of the Don Valley East Progressive Conservative Conservative Association on Thursday, November 4, 1982, at 8 p.m., at the Albany Club, Toronto. His comments follow : I'm assuming that you invited me here tonight to say something about the federal political situation. So much has been happening over the past few days and weeks that it's difficult to know just where one should begin. We've had two serialized cabinet shuffles and a promise of more to come, then the Prime Minister's mini-series 1 of T.V. sermonettes, followed by a rather incredible and barefaced abandonment of the past two federal budgets. There have been some notable changes and departures on the upper rungs of the Ottawa bureaucracy, which may or may not have deeper meaning. And a corner has been lifted of that large blanket blanket which usually hides the inner machinations of the federal Liberty Party, providing providing us with a tantalizing glimpse of an intense vicious power struggle for control of that party's destiny in the post-Pierre years. While these are unhappy times for Canada, to a political junkie like me, and perhaps you, they also are interesting times indeed. What I really would appreciate appreciate is to hear your own views on some of these recent developments. developments. It's essential for an M.P. to get out of Ottawa occasionally to find our what real people in the real world are thinking -- even at the risk of missing an important vote in the Commons. It was suggested suggested that you would like a question and answer session. I do have something I'd like to say. But I'll keep my remarks brief, after which I will welcome welcome your comments or questions. questions. I want to say a few words about integrity in government. government. That may sound like a rather odd topic - but I ask you to think about it for a few moments. Integrity is assumed to be the very basis of the form of government we enjoy in Canada and the other western democracies. Each of you, as a voter, selects a person to represent yoù in Parliament. With your ballots, you and your neighbours neighbours elect a man or woman in whom you place your trust, and whom you expect to represent represent your best interests in Ottawa. You want a person on whom you can depend; and if it turns out that you cannot depend on him or her - if they have betrayed or lost your trust - then you rightfully expect them to get out. That same principle applies right up the Parliamentary scale, The leader of the political political party with the most members members elected becomes Prime Minister and head of our government. And, to help him in that demanding task, he selects a cabinet of ministers to assume responsibility for the various government departments and agencies. Each minister is supposed and expected to control and to be answerable for a large portion of the bureaucracy - the actions, programs and policy of his department. Each minister is supposed to be in charge, and to answer and be responsible to Parliament and the people. We tend to take all this for granted. However it is worth considering from time to time, for it is fundamental to our form of responsible government. government. This year, in two countries that are similar to ours in many ways, we have seen two virtually classic examples of what cabinet responsibility and integrity should and does mean, One example occurred in Britain in the early stages of what became known us the Falklands crisis. Even though Britain was able to muster a military force quickly and despatch it to retake the islands successfully, immediate immediate questions were raised as to how and why the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands had been allowed to happen in the first place, The minister responsible for Britain's defence mutters, U)rd Carrington, accepted this as valid criticism of his work, He publicly acknowledged acknowledged that he, as minister, should have been made aware of the Argentine threat by his officials and taken steps to forestall it, He didn't blame his public servants or his advisers. He admitted that a serious error had been made which proved costly to his country. And Lord Carrington, acting as the responsible minister and a man of integrity, integrity, submitted his resignation resignation which was accepted by Prime Minister Thatcher. This was a most significant , event - even though it was almost lost in the rush of other news about the military preparations and the subsequent subsequent retaking of the Falklands. Falklands. The second example occurred in Washington, during the early stages of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the fighting in Beirut. The U.S. Secretary of State, Alexander Haig, played an active if unsuccessful role in trying to negotiate an end to the fighting. But as the negotiations negotiations proceeded, it became evident that U.S. foreign policy, especially as expressed expressed by the President, was undergoing a significant shift in attitude toward Israel's position in Middle East affairs. Alexander Haig found himself in an untenable position. position. The policy he advocated and believed in was no longer being followed. So, as an act of integrity, he resigned. Again, the resignation was accepted - even though, at the time, it caused some consternation throughout the world. In Canada now, regrettably, we don't do things that way. We have had a cabinet minister minister who admitted to conferring conferring with a judge about a case that was before that judge concerning another federal cabinet minister. When this became known, the minister conceded he may have acted improperly and have appeared appeared to be interfering in the judicial system, and he offered offered to resign. But his resignation resignation was refused by the Prime Minister. We had a cabinet minister, a lawyer, who admitted to forgery and did resign. He is now back in the federal cabinet. We had a cabinet minister - one of the most senior federal law authorities authorities - who offered character character references to a court on behalf of persons facing criminal charges. The Prime Minister defended his action. It makes one wonder whether Mr. Trudeau or those around him have any idea at all of the meaning of integrity. But most recently, we have had a Finance Minister who, in three budgets, probably came as close as anyone would dare to destroying a national economy that already was in serious difficulty. I'm referring, of course, to the venerable Allan J. MacEa- chen. With his first budget he did what many might have deemed deemed impossible. Through the National Energy Program, he knocked the pins out from under our western petroleum industry, flattening what had been the only bright spot in our otherwise gloomy national economy. Budgets Two and Three were downright disastrous and had everyone, including Liberal MP's and his own cabinet colleagues, crying for mercy. They were pitifully bad budgets, showing clearly .that he had no understanding of and no answers for the desperate problems facing most Canadians. So where is this bungling minister now? In the fall cabinet cabinet shuffle he wasn't fired - he was moved to another equally senior post as Minister of External Affairs. His successor successor at Finance, Marc Lalonde, last Wednesday made a "statement" (which should have been called à new budget) and which, in effect, retreated from, discarded and denounced practically everything everything that Allan MacEachen had done in the two previous budgets. As one commentator bluntly put it, after Mr. Lalonde's "statement", the November and June MacEachen MacEachen budgets were as dead as a cadaver on its slab in the morgue. But Allan MacEachen didn't display integrity; he did not admit that he had failed the public's trust, and even the confidence of his own govern-, ment - nor did he resign. : One of the roots of our prob- ; lems in Canada today is a lack ! of confidence. Essentially it's ; a lack of confidence in those ■ people who are trying to run „ the country at Ottawa. I ask you, just how can that confidence confidence be restored when we . know 1 that this man, Allan - MacEachen, who proved so disastrously inept as Finance Minister, still holds a high position in the inner circles of the Trudeau government, where he can still influence its decisions on important economic economic matters? There were resignations -- strangely, not in the ministerial ministerial ranks but in the upper strata of the public service. The Clerk of the Privy Council is going. The former deputy minister of finance has gone, the man who advised Allan MacEachen on those disastrous disastrous budgets and who now appears to be the scapegoat for them. Obviously, now, we . don't have ministerial respon- sibility in Canada; we have - , deputy ministerial responsibi- lity - a very real acknow- • ledgement that the bureau- - crats rule the roost. ; The message we get from - Mr. Trudeau and his govern- Z ment seems to be: "When the • ship runs aground, you can get - rid of the crew. But Tor heaven's sake don't blame the - captain." So much for inte- I grity and trust in our present federal government. < As I said, to some this may *• seem a lesser consideration in the context of our current L national concerns, , but it shouldn't be. Far from it! -: Government is a large factor y in all of our lives, whether we < like it or not. Should we ever forget that, we're certainly »"■ reminded of it each year at < Income Tax time. And lack of Z; integrity, as I see it, is a major : problem with the present • ~ Trudeau administration. ? It is the reason Prime Mini- > ster goes on national televi- - sion to tell us we are in an ? economic mess -- in case we - didn't know it - and that - therefore we must all simply ■' co-operate and trust each - other. It is the reason we have 1 so much uncertainty and lack '■< of confidence in Canada today. > For, at bottom, most Cana- Z dians just don't trust the >' federal government anymore. - As a politician, this disturbs > me more than I can say. I -Z sincerely believe in Canada > and in our form of government ; ? - indeed I have devoted most • * of my adult life to it. But there ;Z can be no end to this rampant • Z public cynicism, and there can ]• be no restoration of govern- ;. ment integrity, until Mr. IZ Trudeau packs his bags and leaves Ottawa forever. • Z Obituary ji ELLA RUTH ORMISTON > Entered into rest at Bow- Z manville Hospital on Friday, > October 22nd, 1982, Ella Ruth ;Z Hoskin, beloved wife of Walter -Z Ormiston and loving mother of • Wayne, Mrs. G.
