June 29, 1966 Since the new rules provide for a half hour oral question period on all days except Mon- | days, when one hour is set aside for oral questions, it had been anticipated that the Govern ment would be more efficient in answering written questions which aro being placed on the Order Paper. This, however, has not been the case. On Mon- day, June 28th, there were still some 167 questions which re- mained unaswered; 24 of these were two months old, some b1 approximately one month old, and some 89 questions have been on the Order Paper un- answered from three days to two weeks. The only explana- tion for this large number of questions remaining unanswer- ed is the evident negligence on the part of the Ministers res- ponsible for these questions. This is far too many questions to remain unanswered, particu- larly for the period of time they have appeared on the Order Paper. An appeal was made to the Government to prevail upon the Ministers to answer these questions more expeditiously than they have been answered up to 'the present time. As a follow-up to the Canada- United States Automobile Agreement, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Labour made announcements in the House in respect to those industries and employees who would be affected by this Agreement. So far as industry is con- cerned, loans will be made avail- able to them for the purpose of acquisition, construction, instal- lation, modernization, develop- ment, conversion, or expansion of land, building, equipment, faclities or machinery and for use in working capital. They will be charged an interest rate of 6 percent and the loan would be payable over not more than twenty years for land and; buildings, and ten years for other purposes. These loans would be available to the Cana- dian Automotive Parts manu- facturers for expanded produc- tion, rationalization of output and reduced costs. The explanation given by the Minister was that if Canadian part makers are to take advant- age of the plan, they must be increasingly competitive and flexible in their operations. As far as the laid-off em- ployees in the automobile in- dustry are concerned, the Min- ister of Labour announced that a new plan of assistance would be available to replace the pre- sent SUB plan which has been created through collective bar- gaining. This new assistance plan will provide assistance benefits ranging from 62 per- cent to 76 percent of the work- er's weekly pay, depending on the number of his dependents. This is subject, however, to a maximum of 65 percent of aver- age weekly wages and salaries, which currently amounts to close to $76. This plan has been immedi- ately criticized by Mr, George Burt of the United Automobile Workers and he stated that this was insufficient aid to those who will fall victims of the agreement between Canada and the United States affecting the automobile industry. Parliament will now recess for the summer months for the first time in two. years. This will be a welcome change and afford an opportunity for Mem- bers of Parliament to look after the interesst of their Ridings until September when this ses- sion is expected to reconvene. em a Sa.
